Happy Fourth of July!

Hello lovely bloggers and Happy Fourth of July! 

Well, another holiday has appeared at our doorstep here on the rainy homestead and busy preparations have begun. 

The Fourth has never been a huge holiday for us, there's very little you can do around here besides shoot of fireworks or drink beer--some people combining the two for a disastrous result. 

We normally engage in the first rather than the latter--thank heavens for that--but this year we are going to forgo the fireworks seeing how we have not acquired any. 

Yes, you heard it, me the pyromaniac has no fire to play with on the Fourth of July...how will I survive? 

This year we're just having a simple cookout with some old friends, plus a delicious serving of peach ice cream! Yummy! Beyond that my plans are simple, finish reading Ender's Game, work on my new book; pester agents...you know, normal everyday stuff. :) 

I've found some really great agencies, but I have to wait until my other queries close before I can contact them--which should happen sometime at the end of this month. When a query closes, that just means that either the agent wasn't interested or they contact you and ask for more material. I'm hoping for the latter, but I'm still new in this game! ;)

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in briefly and wish you all a Happy Fourth July! 

God Bless America
