Okay have done my edit and re-submitted "The French Cowboy". Let's hope it gets approved this time. My homage to Louis L'Amour whom my father and I both loved to read. Hope it finds a few willing readers.

Oops, my "Western" story, my homage to Louis L'Amour got rejected gang. I'm traveling, but when I have time I'll edit and re-submit.

Just submitted my first "Western", a love story. My homage to Louis L'Amour. My dad and I loved reading his books when I was young. Gotta stretch myself as a writer. Don't know if readers will take to it at all, but hope a few cotton-on to the style. I'm off to Malaysia today so may not be on too much for the next few days. Another plane ride..........short at least.

I'm SO GLAD "Sex Money" has been recognized as a "recommended read". So justly deserved! Renews your faith in the world. [Stop pouting John!! Self-pity is NOT endearing] Well done Emilia, my favorite series on LUSH.

If you want to see the pictures that go with my new story "15 Minutes is NOT Enough" then you can view the new album I have posted under the same title. It gives a little "photographic insight" into Kelly's life and dreams.

Editing my competition entry. It should squeak under the 12K word limit (JUST!) haha. Anyways a classic tale of the "against all odds" American dream, the individual succeeding, with elements of the past haunting the present adding (I hope) some richness and texture. A nice little "twist" that I hope is appreciated by lovers of confident ambitious young women. Should be posted soon.

Back from Paradise......I mean Cebu. Got to catch up on a bit of reading and get back to my writing. Nice to have Lush to return to after a refreshing get away. Hong Kong unfortunately has been a bit cold and wet so I'm missing the sun and sea.

Off for ten days of scuba diving so won't be checking in much. Have a nice Easter everyone.

Can you be that girl I've always wanted? That girl that drives me crazy? Great song!!

Haha well that teaches me not to edit my stories. "Don't Worry Cupid Has a Plan" lost its space on the front page as a February Pick? It also disappeared from the Love Story category rankings? Oopps? So much for embellishing my title page.

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down. You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

Well my story was actually admitted to the competition after all. Thanks Lush!! Serendipity strikes another blow for artistic freedom. My story deals with the redemptive power of love when our lives hit the inevitable "rough patches". I treasure the readers who make it all the way through my long tales and actually leave nice messages. Thanks so much.

OOpps? I guess my story is too long? Won't be in the competition after all.

Have just submitted my Valentine's Day contest entry. Hope a few of you find the time to read it during your busy lives.

Just back from a nice break in Bangkok and a quick stopover for meetings in London. Nice to be back on Lush and hope to finish a story soon.
