My Book is Done!!

 


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!


Ciao

My mother always says, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." I agree.
