Desert Rose Award Recipient

It's been a long time since I posted. It's been a year of writing, writing, writing -- both nonfiction and fiction. I'm completely rewriting the end (last 100 pages) of my suspense novel. The writing is all finished, now I'm doing revisions. I plan to have the finished manuscript out to Agent Jessica Faust, who requested the full book, by Thanksgiving at the latest.

In the meantime, I was awarded the highest honor awarded by my local RWA chapter, The Desert Rose Award. The inscription reads:

In appreciation for outstanding'

contributions toward furthering

the growth of the Romance Writers

of America, Phoenix Chapter,

giving unselfishly of her time

and knowledge to fellow members,

and her continuing encouragement

in helping them achieve the

realization of their dreams

I'm honored to have been given such a reward. My chapter has done so much for me and I've learned so very much in the few years I've been a part of these wonderful, talented writers. Thanks to all of YOU for making this a reality.

Now, back to Logan and Samantha.
