Long time, no post!

It seems like ages since I've dropped in here, but hey, it's summer, right? When we're supposed to be lazy and laid back?

Wait a minute while I snicker. I may not have been blogging these last couple weeks, but I've been busy. I'm on the contest committee and the conference committee for my local writers' group (if you're interested in a great October conference, check out www.rwi-rwa.com). We're in the judging phase of the unpublished contest -- winners will be announced at the aforementioned conference -- and it's been keeping me busy. I swear, I'm gonna get a bumper sticker that says "Just say no" and post it to my computer screen!

On the business side, last week I accepted a contract with Bantam for the next Selena book I've got the first few pages of the book written -- let's say it opens with a bang! -- but have another project to finish before I jump into it with both feet. In this one Selena and Tony will be visiting some places in the South where I used to live, so that'll be fun.

And my web diva has designed new bookmarks for me, along with a new site. It should be up and running any day now (as soon as I provide her with the last bit of stuff). I'll be posting here when it's ready. I'd love to hear what you think.

Now off to work for a bit, before lunch with my daughter-in-law-to-be. (Wow, that's a mouthful.) Have a good Sunday! Rachel9:05 AM
