Hello!

I am sending out this update to keep you apprised of where my manuscript is in the process of being published.

Since the contest I have been fortunate to work with some professionals in the business of writing and have learned a lot!  The first thing we began working on is lengthening my story, developing its depth more.  I have also been in contact with some different "celebrities"  who I respect and whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer's or other dementia to see if they would endorse my novel.  I'm looking forward to hearing back.  

The professionals I am working with are excited about my book and its success.  They believe, as I do, that there is a large audience that will relate to my story and characters. 

I am working through the learning curve of being a novelist, it's fascinating and hard work; so thank you again for your support!    

Joan
