I'm a 2005 Hurricane Rita evacuee and fortunately made it through a hellish evacuation process and ensuing hurricane with hardly a scratch.

I formed a friendship with the editor of my publisher and one day asked her what she looked for in manuscripts. Her answer..."A different take on the same old story." Makes sense doesn't it?

She confided in me that they received a lot of manuscripts on domestic violence but most of them were about being abused and still being alive, so there! No directions on how to get out of the relationship safely, no guidance, no helpful advice. It was almost like they needed to just get it out of…

Since we met online in 1998 as members of a well-known novel critique list, Garth has become a mentor, valued friend, and tireless guide to…
