Susan, you could have knocked me over with a feather when Five Star said I could write more Daisy books.

The only people who get publicized by their publishers are the folks who don't need the publicity in the first place! Sigh.<br /><br />Thanks, Jacquie! I don't know if there will be more novels set in Roswell, but we'll see. Oddly enough, when I lived in Pasadena, I wanted to write books set in Roswell. Now that I live in Roswell, I want to write books set in Pasadena. I think there's a perverse streak in my nature that needs mending :)Alice Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617808704864502171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923339336395220707.post-2438610896250452932009-12-29T15:02:09.512-05:002009-12-29T15:02:09.512-05:00Alice,

ONE BRIGHT MORNING, my first book, actually won a HOLT Medallion. That was the end of my award-winning, perhaps because I can't afford to enter contests, but probably because the award-givers prefer gritty stuff, and I live gritty. I don't want to write it.<br /><br />Thanks, Rob! Believe me, I know EVERYTHING about the yucky end of the business. I've been bought and dumped by almost every publisher known to man.<br /><br />Sherry! Please give your mom a hug for me. We're actually having snow right this very minute in Roswell, so you guys probably aren't missing much. Well, maybe a foot or two of snow :) Ours is only about two inches deep at the moment -- but it's still snowing. I love having a legitimate excuse for not walking my wieners.<br /><br />Terri and Pamela, I used to live next door to three and a half basset hounds (the half was half-basset & half-dachshund). I loved those dogs, but then the owners of the dogs moved. Boo-hoo!<br /><br />And . . . gulp! . . . I've actually agreed to write a blog once monthly for Mayhem and Magic. God help me.
