offering spiritual tonic and hope

Here you'll find updates on the progress of my completed novel, Caney Creek, a historical romance set in the Southern Appalachians. I'm shopping the novel to agents now, which means that I'm sending information about Caney Creek to agents hoping one of them will want to represent me and my novel to publishers. Recently Terry Burns, a literary agent, did a survey of over 400 multi-published authors, asking them “From the time you finished your first book how long did it take to see it in print.” He got various answers from a year or two up to ten years or so. When he averaged all of the responses it came out to be six years. Mr. Burns says “Getting published isn’t a selection process, it’s a survival process!” Guess I have to spend some more time in the survival process.
Thanks for dropping by and spending time together. Come back soon.
