All right, so I had best intentions to do the BIAW (book in a week), but life has once again gotten in the way. Second edits on my first full length novel, and then…I finaled in the Stroke of Midnight contest! My book The Captured Rose was a finalist in the futuristic/SciFi/fantasy category. I’m thrilled :) Mine is a Sci-fi and honestly, completely different than anything I’ve ever done. It’s so different, that I’m considering taking on a separate pen name when it sells.
Which brings me to the reason I gave up BIAW. I am embarking on the great agent search for this book. I think it has a lot of potential to be competitive in this market, because it’s like nothing I’ve seen out there yet, and the hottest I’ve ever written. Meaning some of my relatives and conservative friends will never be allowed to read it :) But really I’m digging around trying to figure out which agents even represent erotic romance. I have a short list going, but like I said, it’s short.
Anyway, since it’s the weekend and I don’t have much more to say, I’ll just put up this adorable/hilarious video my little niece showed me. It’s short, you should watch it. Share it with your kids :) My kid laughed her booty off.
LOL! Loved the vid! Congrats on finaling! You rock!
Why write under a different pen name?
Show how diverse you are, woman!
Besides, it seems like most authors end up doing the whole “so and so” writing as “so and so” eventually, anyway!
Congratulations Shelli! I’m so proud of you. Keep up the wonderful writing and best of luck on the great agent search.
Congrats Shelli, and thanks for sharing the kitty video – the hubby, my daughter and I laughed our heads off! :D
Congrats on finaling in Stroke of Midnight! You go girl!!
Loved the video (hoot).
Good luck with the agent search. . . it’s something I’m hoping to put off for a year or so yet!
Way to go on finaling. And good luck on the agent search!
Woot! Way to go on finaling! I’m so happy for you. I know you’ll land an agent with this one. Go for it!
I cannot stop watching that video. And what’s worse, I keep giggling @ the same parts over and over again!
Big congrats on the final and best of luck on finding that agent!
You can do it!
Good luck with the agent search! Ack…just the phrase ‘agent search’ makes me start to tremble a little bit. So many rejections….so little drawer space!
Lol, may you have better luck,

You rock Shelli! Congrats. And i’ll have to watch the vid now – maybe it’ll trim my backside if i laugh my booty off too.
