A Letter from Chadwick

Last week, Chadwick wrote me a letter. I was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling fan, and suddenly, there it was. I thought I’d share it with you all: Dear Jacinta, I just wanted to congratulate you on sending that manuscript into that small publisher who promised to get back to you next week.ContinueContinue reading “A Letter from Chadwick”

Introducing Chadwick

However, class is now over (officially ended yesterdayContinueContinue reading “Rejection and Life”

Dear Readers, For those of you wondering why the previous posts suddenly became private, here is the explanation: My husband and friend have been desperately trying to convince me to finish the story I am writing and then submit it for publication to a publisher like Love Inspired. After much entreating, I have agreed toContinueContinue reading “A New Conquest”
