Resurrected Honor was rejected by Marcher Lord Press. However, Jeff sees potential and urged me to continue to improve my craft. It was a blow to my ego - after all, I've been writing for 20 years - but encouraging. He even said he would enjoy giving me help as an editor or writing mentor, though I would need to pay for these services. Ah well. If I'm truly serious about publication, I will do my best to improve my ability, right?

Pitched Resurrected Honor to Terry Glaspey of Harvest House while at the NCWA Writer's Renewal Conference in Bothell, WA, this weekend. Unfortunately, it's a genre they aren't currently seeking (fiction isn't being widely accepted at the moment, either) but he said it sounded to be a interesting title. At least my first pitch at a conference is out of the way! I repeated the pitch out loud on the entire one-hour drive to Bothell. ^o^

Contacted Jeff @ MLP regarding my Resurrected Honor submission. He didn't find it in his records, so he has invited me to submit it again. :) He's a nice guy, and I have been enjoying the books that his publishing house puts out. In fact, Season 2 is being released today. You should check it out!

I submitted the first chapter of my NaNovel, To Save A Soul, to Firebrand Literary as part of their 'Query Holiday' from December 15th through January 15th. Whether or not I have been accepted by the agency will be known by February 1st. Update: I wasn't contacted, so I suppose that's a "Not interested."
