It's a dark and stormy day. The perfect time to work on my story that is set in a funeral home!

Janel, Adding my voice to the welcome. I went to school at UM (undergrad and law) and just got back from visiting my son there (parent weekend!)

If you’re looking for a place to jump in, we’d love to have you join us in the Publishing Industry News group, or in Novelists – Struggling or Not.

Hope you enjoy the site!

Hi Janel,

Thanks so much for the connection. I know zero writers in Michigan, so it's great to have a fellow comrade. Where is Freeland? I am in Monroe, which sits in the southeast corner of the state.

I am intrigued by your latest novel, set in a funeral parlor. I am currently writing a tween novel in which an evil spirit haunts a candle shop. I would love any advice you could give me, as this is my first real "story."

I look forward to talking to you soon and visiting your blog. Take care.

Jeany

Hey Janel! Sorry it took so long to respond. It's market season here on Cape Breton Island and I'm in two markets a week with my jewelry. Whew! Churning out new bracelets and necklaces every evening to make up for the sold items. Work, but so much fun talking with people and seeing which pieces catch their eye. I'm CopperTop Creations, with a copper-colored table cover and amazing brushed copper displays fabricated by my sweet, (and handy) husband.
I'll be better with communications after the holiday markets end in November. I want to pick your brain about book blogs, i.e., which ones to follow and which ones will be my best allies when my novel, (when it finds an agent and gets published) hits the market.

Janel,

I just joined, too. Glad to have you. I'm working on a book proposal right now. Good luck on your projects. Maybe someday the Michigan writers can all meet. - Heather
