Update on the trailer biz: I just finished one for my TWRP editor, who has a novel out herself, Dancing on the Edge. I'm pretty pleased with it. Take a look:
Update on Summer's Song: This is my latest WIP. It's been kicking around for a while, but I'm tackling some serious revisions these days. I was planning on targeting NY houses and agents, but I think I've changed my mind and may submit it to The Wild Rose Press instead. My thinking? It will be close to 90K words, which means it should go to print with them. Also, it's a sweet (well, more sensual) contemporary romance, not anything terribly ground-breaking, and I'm not sure it's unique enough to break into the big presses. And finally, I've been pleasantly surprised with how well Lost in Paradise has sold with TWRP. If I can develop a following there, maybe I can set the stage for snagging an agent later down the line. Anyway, I'm really hoping to finish and fine-tune Summer's Song by the end of the year!
Update on the rest of my life: Yeah, I do have a day job - at least until Oprah calls :) So I probably won't be blogging tomorrow, since I'm scheduled to give a presentation with a colleague to the State Education Department on our teaching programs and what we do. Kind of a big deal, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hey,
Regarding your presentation to The State Education Department: not bad for an "average" teacher!!
Good luck with your presentation!
And, wow -- your trailers just keep getting better!
I can't WAIT to see Summer in print.
Fingers firmly crossed.
Good luck with your presentation! Knock 'em dead.
Nice trailer.
Another great trailer - you're amazing, Allie. Good luck tomorrow.
That's nice to hear your book is doing well at TWRP. I've only heard good things about this publisher. I'm thinking of submitting to them in the future.
Hello! I hope your presentation went very well for you! Cindi
