Bad News

The publisher Picador didn't connect with the characters in my novel. They said "NO" to publishing THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE SURVIVORS.

My wonderful New York agent, Wendy Schmalz, thinks that with nineteen rejections, we've covered our bases.

I hope that having bought baseball uniforms today for Halloween costumes, there's some connection, and she will think of one or two more bases.

I am still writing. I am writing, writing, writing; a little sullen, but writing.

update: October 19, 2007: We've run out of places to submit THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE SURVIVORS. I can't imagine having an agent work any harder for me. It is all very disappointing. I raise the white flag.

Hi all.

Saturday, October 13th, from 12 to 4 (0r 5), at CHOP SUEY books in Carytown, there will be a fun, lively, eclectic BIZARRE Market with a big chunk of proceeds going to local charity, like FOOD NOT BOMBS.

Come check it out.

I'll be there.

Come see me!

Hi Guys,
I'll be at the 17th Street Farmers Market this Saturday (9/22) from 8:30 until 1:30, and I'll be at the Byrd House Market in Oregon Hill Tuesday afternoon (9/25), 3:30 until 7:00. Not only are these great fresh growers' markets, but they're kid friendly places too. This is the fourth Tuesday at the Byrd House Market so there will be crafters (like me) in addition to growers. I hope to see you there.

...and if you love my husband Danny like I do, fyi--Saturday is his birthday. Happy Birthday, Danny!

XO
Michele
