Finders, if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself looking through the window of your computer screen at a world that seems to be shifting on its axis. The pandemic rages on amid horrifying displays of unbridled racism and state-sanctioned atrocity. Feckless, callous leaders stoke the flames and bask in the chaos. I can’t help but wonder what in holy hell is next.
But I have to believe that good will come from all this upheaval. This particular uprising against the racism so endemic in our society looks and feels different somehow, and I think maybe, just maybe, we’ve reached a tipping point. Could this be the beginning of a path towards actual and sustained social justice? I really hope so.
But today I’ve decided I’m all about good news. I’m wading through the mountain of garbage in search of anything to soothe the spirit. The state of Minnesota is set to begin a police overhaul. Outstanding!! New Zealand has conquered Coronavirus. Hooray! A Golden Retriever named Finley now holds the Guinness World Record for holding the most tennis balls (6) in his mouth. Three cheers for Finley!
And then there’s this: I have finally finished my book and I’m delighted to share that I’m now represented by the wonderful literary agent, Hilary McMahon of Westwood Creative Artists. The supremely talented Ms. McMahon will now do her level best to steer my novel toward publication. Yippee Yahooey!
Now, what’s your good news? Tell me everything…
Can you tell us more about your book? Fiction? Nonfiction?
Pure fiction this time out.
A sisters story?
All under wraps at the moment ;))

It was so wonderful to see Finding me in France in my email!
I so agree with everything you said about what his happening in our world.
I do hope we are at some kind of tipping point regarding racism. It is long overdue.
Excited about your new book. I hope it is on kindle since I can no longer read regular books.
You have such a way of expressing yourself in words. It is pure delight. Nothing about that good looking redhead you live with?
Congratulations Bobbi – looking forward to reading your new book!
Hi Bobbi,
Great post. Good to find the positive at this time. I am interested to see that your agent is my husband’s agent! 2 degrees of separation! Small world!
Wow!! Small world indeed.
Congratulations on finishing your book. Maybe the lockdown and lack of other things to do, forced you to the completion of the book. That’s good news we can all look forward to.
My good news….after completing at least 8 – 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles and growing a size or two, the golf course finally opened. Now I’m working on shedding those unwanted sizes.
Well raise high the roof beam Carpenter! Congratulations on getting your novel DONE!! This is huge, wonderful, is indeed good news. This is the one of the best times in a writer’s life and I hope you are savoring the sweetness.
