Extractions: Most public libraries have a Readers' Advisory service, which is basically a library program that provides patrons (that's you) with a list or group of books they might enjoy. Really, the entire point of the program is to match readers up with books they'll like. I'm not joking. One of our heroes is Ranganathan, who said "Every reader his book." We eat that stuff up.

Extractions: Biography Bookshelf Guest Book ... Newsletter Biography I am a strong believer in fate and destiny. I had been writing steadily for six years, but I could not seem to break into publishing. After 99 rejections and more than ten novels under my belt, I was ready to give up. As fate would have it, I was in attendance at NJRW's (New Jersey Romance Writer's) January meeting last year. Author Amanda Harte announced to the group that one of her publishers, Avalon Books, was about to start accepting manuscripts for their new historical line. While I was excited about the prospect, I had reservations. All three of my historicals were 100,000 words, and Avalon's word count could not excede 60,000. I was not used to writing within stringent guidelines, and Avalon has a specific audience (the library market across the United States), and guidelines. But I was determined to give it one last shot. I have always loved watching Westerns John Wayne and Gary Cooper are favorites of mine but I had never written one before. For some reason, I could just imagine a feisty Irish immigrant Margaret Mary Flaherty traveling cross country by herself, in a bid to help her brother save his ranch, and getting into more trouble than she bargained for. When I'd finished the first three chapters and the synopsis, I said a quick prayer and sent it off to Avalon. I received the partial back, with a letter advising that if I was willing to cut down on the number of religious references, that they would be willing to look at the partial again. I really didn't think I could, after all Margaret Mary Flaherty was an Irish Catholic immigrant! She was religious. During a lunch date with two writer friends, Terri Brisbin and Terri Castoro, I told them my news. They immediately asked when I planned on doing the revisions. I told them I didn't. They were incensed on my behalf, and by the time lunch was over, I was convinced that I could do it.
