Good gravy, go away for a while and....

I come back to a totally different lay out. We'll see if I can navigate this at all.

For the record, I haven't been blogging much anywhere. Maybe the occasional comment on Facebook but it's been busy in my world. I'll tell you about it sometime.

Peace out!

Mondays and Life

It's gotten to the point where Monday has become the representation of my life. The first day back from that weekend where everyone has to have a piece of you, it's always an emergency or priority issue, and you've had no sleep from Sunday night. OY! It's enough to drive a soul potty.

Story of my life. That and I'm starving at 11:00 am. But then, I was in here at 7:00, so it all works out. I'm hungry. I'm eating part of my lunch. Lentils and brown rice. Yum!

Curiosity--if you've left a job under your own steam (as opposed to getting fired), didn't you leave for a damn good reason? Why the hell would you go back? I am rather confused how a lovely lady could get so pissed off at this place that she walked out the door without giving notice. Yet, here she is back again. Is she dumb enough to think things have really changed?

My brain really isn't functioning today. Ah well. I got that much out. Back to work.

Have a lovely day today.

For any Neil Gaiman and/or Todd McFarlane fans out there

No, it's not porn or spam. It's just my column from this morning.

Some interesting stats on the state of porn

Nothing obscene, I promise. Just some interesting stats. I'm really curious on how these stats were pulled together. But that's another blog.

The New Query Letter

Completely revamped and rewritten and redone and all that other re-petitive prose. Here 'tis.

Dear Agent:

Thom Mitchell is one of the biggest selling folk singers in the US—a John Denver type, with a big heart for children and the environment, and absolutely no enemies in the world—or so he thinks.

Thom takes a month long vacation in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to get some rest before touring to promote his new CD. In the space of a week, he meets the woman of his dreams . . . and gets mugged, shot at, and kidnapped—all because of an alcoholic blackout on a night, twenty years ago, that ended with a devastating car accident and one dead senator. Lost on the most treacherous, remote mountain in the Presidential range—Wilde Mountain—he has to remember the details of that night, and get himself and his new lady away from the kidnappers. And not die in the process.

A romantic-thriller of approximately 120,965 words, WILDE MOUNTAIN TIME draws upon my experiences as a professional singer, both concert and theatrical, and a love of hiking.

My previous novel, A Wager of Blood, was published by LBF Books, an American imprint of Lachesis Publishing in Nova Scotia, Canada and has had a modest success. My other works are The Savior, The Brothers Campbell, and a short story collection, Illusions & Reality. I am a member of ASCAP, the Erotic Authors Association, and currently write a literary news/review column for an online news area, Examiner.com for the Lexington, KY and surrounding areas.

I would love to send you some sample chapters or the entire manuscript, if you would prefer. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time.

Ms. Jesse V Coffey
