Happy June!
This will be a very abbreviated newsletter due to my deadline, but don't worry, we will be returning to the regularly scheduled program soon! Be on the look-out for more author interviews and giveaways this month... I have some wonderful author friends to introduce you to. :)
Also, please accept my apologies for not answering all the blog comments and contact form entries. I'll try to get to them soon!
Writing Stuff:
In other news, I am sending in my final project for my Beginning Fiction Techniques class this week. (I'm very pleased with this because it will give me more time to work on the book.) I've been getting very good grades for all of my projects, and again, I'm so thankful for all of your prayers and well wishes on my behalf.
