LIVING WELL
INTEREST IN OUR YOUNG ADULT NOVEL
Two agents have now indicated an interest in the full manuscript for another of our young adult novels. This is
so great!
It would be so wonderful to have just one of our novels published, let alone two!
I get excited, and then I have to calm myself down so I
can go back to writing---which is what keeps me grounded and makes me happy.
Publication---that's something else.
Keep on reading and writing.
Stay Well,
Carolyn

SEND COMPLETE MANUSCRIPT
Except for I love you, there may be no sweeter words than "Send Complete Manuscript!" That usually, but not always, means a publisher is very interested in our work.
Yes, there are still some publishers---and some good ones, too---who will talk directly to writers without going through an agent. My husband and I---who write young adult novels together---received those sweet words yesterday.
Even better, we didn't even have to print it out, address it, or pay to mail it. "E-mail it in Word," the message said. Can't get better than that.
With sweaty palms and shaking legs, I went through the manuscript one more time, just to make sure we hadn't missed any typos or written any really silly sentences. Then I punched it up and sent it into cyberspace, along with a couple of thousand angels and a prayer.
As sweet as those three words are, Sending a Contract, might be even sweeter! Stay tuned to see if it's a hit or a miss.
Keep on writing, reading, and living well!
Best,
Carolyn

On the Road
SELLING BOOKS IN ST. PETERSBURG
We had a great---make that a tremendous!---day in St. Petersburg!
Librarians are such nice people and the group from the Church and Synagogue Library Association were especially terrific. Not only did they buy my books in record numbers, but they asked intelligent questions, made super suggestions, and agreed to send in even more orders once they got home!
What surprised me was the librarians were so interested in my mysteries set in St. Petersburg. Now why hadn't I guessed that? What may have sold them were the covers! The Don CeSar, world reknowned resort , that pink beauty, was painted by our daughter Noelle on one, and for the other, she'd painted a parrot, a match book cover from the Single Hearts Club, and a black straw hat---all clues in the mystery. Actually, I had considered bringing a box of my mysteries, but we'd left the house at 7:15 a.m., and I'd forgotten the books. Luckily, I'd made order sheets and quite a few librarians promised to send me orders through the mail.
I also got to see my writing teacher, Charlotte, who was honored by the group for her work as a founder of the Florida-Suncoast Chapter with a beautiful custom-designed monarch butterfly pin. I was so happy to be there and congratulate her and donate a book to her church library. At 80, she's still a live wire, teaching at Eckherd College, teaching writing students, and being librarian for her church library. I plan to follow in her energetic steps and continue writing at least until I'm 90!
Lunch was another adventure! We planned to meet a couple of friends. When we got there, we found the restaurant we love was closed and under renovation. We tried to call our friends, but they had already left home, so we waited for them. They had another restaurant in mind and it had a terrific Chinese buffet, which we gobbled up.
All-in-all, a great adventure!
Keep reading, writing, and adventuring!

LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY -- On the Road Again
Living Well
My husband and I (isn't he great!) will be taking our dog and pony show on the road on Thursday to St. Petersburg, thanks to my ex-writing teacher, Charlotte Andersen. It's great to know people in high places! I'll be presenting to the Florida-Suncoast Chapter of the Church and Synagogue Library Association and they have budgets to buy books! Unlike doing signings at bookstores, where people come in to buy other books, not mine (a real hard sell situation), or even libraries (where people often go there to take out books because they can't afford to buy them), this should be a wonderful place to sell books. Yes, yes, cross your fingers and toes!
Charlotte says LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY is perfect because it delves into the spiritual side of anxiety (as well as the mind/body), which few self-help books do.
She also suggests bringing CAST INTO THE FIRE, an historical novel I wrote about the history of women healers at the time of the Inquisition and Salem Witch Trials. Did you know that wise women...precursors to nurses...were persecuted as witches by the church and doctors? It's all in there.
If you want to read reviews of LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY, go to www.publishersweekly.com
click on book reviews", then click on "reviews" and type in "anxiety" when the next page comes up. The reviewer says "What makes this book stand out isn't the clinically accurate overview of anxiety's causes and effects or the contrast of medical and holistic treatments, but its person-centered, stragic action plans..."
LIVING WELL WITH ANXIETY also presents nutritional, herbal, time management skills, how exercise affects anxiety and more...It even helps you create an Anxiety Success Plan.
I wrote the book because millions of people---in fact, all of us---suffer from anxiety to various degrees, and most of us never seek treatment. For millions who suffer from panic attacks, fear of flying, fear of insects, fear of, fear of social or work situations, fear of public speaking, test anxiety (or any other fear), or obsessive-compulsive behaviors, this could be their only aid.

Line Dancing
Living Well
Dancing is great exercise. My husband and I went line dancing this week and had great fun! My only regret is the country music---which used to be easy to dance to, is now full of changes in the pace of the song, and sounds more like hard rock to me with a touch of rap. Not my favorite things to dance to. Guess it's a sign of old age---or could it just be music preference? BTW, can rap be classified as music? I thought music had to have music in it. Oh, well---more old age creeping in. I prefer Michael Boulet, Harry Connick, Jr., and the Eagles---not for line dancing, but they're much easier on the ear and brain than the country music the teacher chose to play. I guess when I rule the world, it'll be Michael, Harry and the Eagles!
In the meantimes...Keep reading, writing, and dancing!
And stay well!!!
