Due to submission volume, I can no longer accept unsolicited partials or manuscripts. Authors must contact with a query letter. Anyone referring a writer, please make certain they read the updated guidelines.
I don't plan to shoot anyone sending me the wrong thing. But, I might smack them around a little.
Thanks in advance!

Man...I thought I'd get to bypass the query letter. Dang-it! lool  Well Kristina, I'm up to chapter ten in rewrites for My Sweet Katie and I should finish it by the end of Feb. WOO HOOO!
Jennifer's grown-up now, but that doesn't intimidate the evil tyrant of Old Creek cemetery. She/He's powers mature into an unbelievable strength, hence putting Jennifer through more trials and tribulations. Will she survive their iniquity this time or will she become a Black Soul and live in damnation for eternity?
I can't wait for you to find out!

Hey Kristina, does that mean you'll be getting the whip out again soon? I must tell Graeme, He'll be soooooo excited.

Heheheh.
Basically this won't mean anything for you guys. Once you're one of my 'kids', you can just pitch me the book and we'll figure it out. But for those trying to get in now, it will mean having to do the formal industry standard query.
I had to send five rejections yesterday and it sucked. I hate dashing hopes. But, with so many projects needing my attention I can only take on those I feel very strongly about.

I said you didn't have to query. I NEVER said I would not wield the whip!

Did someone mention whips?
He hurled the ball of fire at her. She merely caught it as if it were just a ball, and looked at it curiously.
“It is a very pretty fireball,” she said with a smile, before smiting it into nothingness with a flick of her hand.

I have had to temporarily suspend submissions altogether due to excessive volume.
We've closed the gates of the keep!

I knew you'd turn up at the first mention of those whips, my Spooky friend.
Now KD's talking about suspenders too!

Hey, you. Told you my grandma hails from Chelmsford. I know in Brit-speak 'suspenders' means garters. Naughty boy. Stockings and whips, ahoy!

Wow, An Essex girl to boot! (Boots too) Wahay!!!!
For those of you who don't know the Brit Speak these days, I would suggest looking up the vernacular description of an 'Essex Gir', the town of Chelmsford being firmly set in the county of Essex.
Hey Spooky, this is getting really exciting! I bet you can't wait for the next gripping instalment. What? GRipping? Oh, I didn't mean that, then again maybe I did. Keep it up KD, you'll soon have my spooky friend all in a lather...lol
Whips, boots, suspenders, chains, bring on the rack next!!!

Man, KD! I just made it in under the wire, didn't I?
You guys are way too silly. I can't possibly have a rational discussion of whips without the chains, too. Come on!
Besides, I've already been whipped by KD. I still bear the scars...ask her to tell you about my flagellation some day. It's a story to tell my grandkids. "How To Sabotage a Book Contract in Three Easy Lessons."

Hey Graeme,
Lady Linda's a fully paid up member of the club too. She's felt the lash of KDs tools of torture/pleasure too! What's more, she must have enjoyed it, because she's still here!!!!
Lionman, don't worry, i'm sure Kristina will be gentle to begin with, (then again she wasn't with me and Graeme, hehe)
I vote for the cat o'nine tails next!

Uh...okay? A fully paid member of the club...? We have to pay to be here now? And to be abused? Geez, if I knew it was going to be like this I have to spend more time with the ex.

Hey Lion man, it's not that kind of club. You pay thorugh PAIN, plain and simple. The kind that starts when Kristina gets her hands on your manuscript, begins scratching at your verbs, and then takes her whip to your tenses (or should that be senses)?
If you survive the intiiation things moce on and begin to get really interesting. Just you wait till she gets her clwas into your conjugations, ouch!
Get the picture?
Forget the cash, money just can't buy what we have here at SP .
I think my Spooky friend Graeme is resting, getting ready for his long haul back to the UK.
Best as always
