Wednesdays with Joanne - "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly ... and, oh yes ... THE GOOD!

Hi all,

Lest you quickly become lost in "spaghetti western land," dreaming of sharing a saddle behind Clint Eastwood ... wait a minute ... that's a pretty good idea! I like Clint; I love Clint! He's good and bad but never, ever ugly. Hey, even if he were, I'd like him; I'd love him! Anyway ... the good is really, really good for me now.

I just sold my third historical romance set in the west to Tekno/Five Star/Thomson Gale and I'm over-the-moon happy!!! It's The Good, The Good, and The Good! John Helfers of Tekno is a gentleman's gentleman, and a more professional (not to mention down right nice) acquisitions agent you will never meet. My, he does set the industry standard as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to give Tiffany Schofield of Five Star a mention, as well. She's ever helpful, ever friendly, and ever "there" for us, should we need her.

Can you tell I'm extremely happy to be published with Tekno/Five Star/Thomson Gale!!!

This is such a brutal, difficult business, which is why I appreciate John Helfers and Tiffany Schofield all the more. They "make me want to be a better writer." And, because of them I've had the opportunity to e-meet one of their top editors, award-winning author Alice Duncan. Yep, I've died and gone to heaven!

I'm grateful, indeed, to "select out" the Bad and the Ugly, and hold onto the Good ... just a few minutes more.

Love,

Joanne
