Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't been posting much. I am trying to finish a big project proposal so I can get some income back into this household! Anyway, coming in a couple days, we will have a guest blogger, Frances Greenslade, whose novel SHELTER is coming out this week on May 15th. I loved her book and I asked her to write a little something about her writing process. So stay tuned!
A couple things for you below....the last two are thanks to re-title.com, a great resource for international arts opportunities.
Cheers,
Mirabee
