Sold to Avalon Books!
Well, I'm happy to FINALLY announce that I sold another manuscript.
I know. I can hardly believe it either. :)
After an exhausting day of teaching VBS (that's another blog post entirely), I came home yesterday and saw my answering machine light blinking. Of course after the day I had, I was totally cranky and annoyed that someone even had the nerve to want to talk to me.

- Hi Jennifer
Thanks for the welcome :)
I don't write much but do alot of reading. Its something that I've done since I learnt the alphabet :) But lately I've been helping out with putting the word out about BookBuzzr. A marketing tool for authors. www.bookbuzzr.com
Do you write ? what kind of books do you write or should I ask genre?
Cheers

Lynda Coker said… - Where has this year gone? I guess when you’re busy time really does fly because mine has certainly taken wing.
WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.
We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.
I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.
The Tipping Point Workshops (TTP WORKSHOP TAB),
The Contest announcement page (CONTEST TAB)
The Bookmark giveaway page (BOOKMARK TAB)
The Free reads page (FREE READS TAB).
Our book discussion club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, is going strong. We’ve had good participation and if you haven’t kept up with some of our adventurous discussion comments, you’ve missed the action.
We’ve also launched a new online newsletter, WRDF Online. Be sure to open and read your copy when it comes. You never know what you might be missing.
Lastly, you’ll notice a new WRDFCalendar Tab on your page. What a nice way to keep all our members notified of current and up-coming events. You’ll notice that Fridays are Guest blog days at Between the Lines. Why not take a moment, check the calendar, and reserve a couple of spots for yourself during 2009. You can request your dates at: promo@lyndacoker.com
Thank you for spending time with us. Stay safe and well,
Lynda

So sorry we missed each other at the conference. I really enjoyed it. The speakers were wonderful and I came away with many ideas. Maybe I'll catch you at a meeting one of these months!
Take care,

Unfortunately, I don't write that period. The idea of such a group is a good one.
