Empty Nest

My baby left for New York on Monday, all alone to make its way in the world. Excuse me while I dab a little tear at the image of my baby shoved into the room with a million other manuscripts trying to rise to the top in the city that never sleeps. So sad.

I sent Awaken the Devil to Heather Osborn, the editor of romantic suspense at Tor, the other day. It was hard to let it go. But actually it was less so since I had already sent Digging Up Bones off to the other publisher. It gets easier every time right?

I am trying to decide what to write next and I am thinking I will go ahead with the story that I took the research trip to Oklahoma for. I had my doubts for a few days but then my much loved crit partner picked it out of like four dozen stories as the one she thought I should be working on without any prodding from me at all. See, it's meant to be.

Bye bye, Awaken the Devil. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. ;)

Song of the day--New York, New York. Because I mentioned it twice in this post.
