Believe it or Not....

So I write... I know you can't tell by my babbling on here, but there.. I said it.. I write. 
To prove it, I will share the poem I have published.


Sprinkles of Gray

Sprinkles of gray that cover over me,
won't lay to rest the black of darkness
won't come to pass.

Dark circkles in my mind,
the light that flashes bright,
Can't hid the fog of disaster...
in the words that love might.

Phases of laughter that's loud and painful
sees the gray on my soul
touches me gently
turning it to gold.

Moist tears that fall from my eyes
to be replace by happy times
and gray filled days shall come to pass
with no bitter lies.

At any rate, I have a romance book written and ready. (I actually have several) My problem is how to get it to a publisher.  It is 363 pages and has over 80,000 words.  I had a publisher tell me she was interested in it and told me some changes to make... she told me to take it seriously and take my time with it even if that took months... so about 3 months later after I made all the changes - that made it more juicy -  I took it back to her, but she had left the agency and I can't find her.  So I know SOMEONE was interested in it.  So that leaves me with.... TOO MUCH RED TAPE...Which is why I have thought to just print it myself.  Seeing it in print might just be exciting enough... however, I might pound the pavement for a bit..

Introducing
"Love by Choice"

     ~  Sometimes love is not a choice.  In fact, it oftentimes is messy, complicated, and very inconvenient or even, unexpected.  Lord John Sallanger never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams laughing in the middle of a mud puddle during one of the most prominent balls in Southampton. 
     Struggling with a tumultuous past relationship and his responsibilities to his family business, Lord Sallanger is a hardworking, self-made man. He has never had any trouble with finding escorts for himself, but when Aubrey Harrison, an independent farm girl from Wyoming, drops into the world of Southampton high society, Lord Sallanger can’t seem to take his eyes off of the American beauty.  He is enamored and intrigued by her, for she is unique in looks, attitude, and spirit than the snobbish women he has been surrounded with for his lifetime—and she is completely off limits, making her all the more desirable to him.
    Even though Aubrey will only be there for one season, a friendship that is created out of guilt draws them into a romance that even an ocean between them can’t destroy.  Jealousy, deceitfulness, and unknown family secrets meant to destroy them only knit them closer together, changing them both in the process.  In the end, they must make a choice to accept fate or create their own… and along the way, the advice of a few drunken friends never hurts! ~


Just wanted to put that out there.
