     I now have the rough first draft of Powers and Principalities completed. I feel great to have this novel finished, although I do still want to do one rewrite before handing it to friends for review and sending off a query letter to a waiting agent.

     I attended both Sleuthfest and Killer Nashville in 2009 and will return to Killer Nashville this summer. You can find many conferences on writing and mysteries throughout the country and year, and I hope to get around to each of them at some point.

     Enjoy looking around and come back to see how far I’ve progressed down the road to publication!
