My Book is Done!!

 Years have raced by while I contemplated and unraveled three decades of Lemony Snicket-class unfortunate events, along with many wonderful happenings, in the family Devereux. My memoir, The Requirements of Love: Forging a Family Against the Odds, is finished. It’s been professionally edited and revised. A few generous friends have been Beta readers for me, not once, but twice! My years of writing classes, writing critiques, writing groups, and just plain seat-of-the-pants writing have paid off.

 I’m focused now on querying for an agent and/or publisher and preparing and organizing my submission materials. Will I find an agent? Will I luck into a sweetheart deal with a good publisher? Will I self-publish? Enquiring minds want to know!

 For those of you who have been asking where you can buy the book, I don’t have an answer yet. There’s still a bunch of work to do, but I’m doing it.  

 Stay posted. I’ll be spending more time with my blog from now on!
