I am sending out queries for my first novel, Hack the Yak. I feel like that blind sow that hopes to find an acorn. They say that even she find one … an acorn … once in a while.
Hope they’re right.

I have thought of myself as a writer for most of my adult life. In 2011, I became a fiction writer full time. I studied creative writing as an English major in college. Then came family and career. I worked in finance and biotech and did a wonderful stint in Vienna. Now, I have the opportunity to use those experiences as the substrate for my stories. My first novel takes on the world of Big Data and the very timely issue of cyber war. The second uses the manipulation of financial derivatives as impetus for attempted murder during a trip from Vienna to Budapest on the Danube. I have taken writing instruction at the Cape Cod Writers Conference and from The Loft in Minneapolis. I am finding writers’ groups to be very helpful as concept editors, as well as practical advice from the published authors. I am in three such groups.

Well, I’m traveling just now and found piles and piles of acorns in an Arkansas forest. I hope you find yours! Good luck!
Best of luck. Just keep sending it out. When you read the stories of the great works and great authors and the number of rejections they received before someone picked them up, you get an inkling of how daunting finding a publisher can be, but you also get the feeling that such perseverance may well be rewarded.
