I’m finally finished with the project that I mentioned here.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been working on this thing sporadically for about five years…BUT, the only reasons it’s taken me so long is because:<\/p>\n

1. I had a baby (who’s now four years old).
2. I’ve been selling other novels to Barbour Publishing, and contracted work takes priority over my recently-completed project entitled Southern Comfort.
3. I’ve also written another novel, since I’ve started this one, that was rejected. However, writing that other novel took time away from my working on Southern Comfort.
4. I work full-time, and I run a household! Takes lots of time to do that!
So, there you have it! That’s why it’s taken me years to complete this big tome of a book! I plan on submitting the full to an agent who requested it awhile back. I’ve also got two other agents that I’m going to submit to, also. I normally don’t take this long to write a book…I can usually have one done in a matter of months if I set my mind to it and concentrate. When you have a contract, you’re forced to finish by a certain time!<\/p>\n

Just feels good to be done! Now hopefully, and prayerfully, my Southern Comfort will find a home!<\/p>\n
