Thanks, Farzana.  I've received 38 5-star reviews on Amazon and have been hearing from readers how much they love the story -- makes me very happy.

Thanks, Juliet.  When people ask what my book's about, I simply say the title -- that says it all!

Congratulations, Judith.

 

What a great name for a novel! (And very true) :)

I'm thrilled to announce that my novel, "Husbands May Come and Go but Friends are Forever," was selected for the Spirited Woman Top 12 Summer Book Pick List. Woohoo!

Following up on our group discussion this week, I put together

 

a list of reputable novel contests

 

Please note in the comments if you know of others! Good luck to everyone entering any of them.

hi everyone! just had a quick question but it is not novel related - i sent an article to a magazine three months ago and have not heard back.  submission guidelines are online but there is no phone number to call.  any thoughts on how to follow up other than snail mail?

BTW, does everyone know about the

 

She Writes We Love New Novelist Contest

 

There is a fee, which I usually don't love, but I have a dear friend who is represented by Sally Waford, and loves her, and Grand Central is a great press. So $15 doesn't seem like much to get your work in front of them.

 

Good luck!
