I have one novel complete and ready for submission, one
that needs a little tinkering before I'd show it to
anyone, and one waiting to be retyped into the computer.

Nothing is ever going to happen to any of them because I

synopses here for crits and received useful suggestions.

when she had her back surgery -- including the yellow rubber
drain-stopper masquerading as gravy. At the Cleveland
