It's very relaxing and I will try just about anything! </p> <p> <b>Writing:</b> I'm currently writing my third manuscript.<br /><br /> - The first, has been filed somewhere far far away. <br /><br /> - The second, <i>"Italian Billionaires Secret Revenge,"</i> will be submitted to the Harlequin Presents line later this month.<br /><br />- The third, <i>"Whats Love Got To Do With It,"</i> a synopsis will be emailed to Grand Central this week - thanks to a drawing I won at the WRW Retreat in April. </p> <p> Thanks for visiting my website! I hope you come back again soon. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7765887211330081654-8561812414138051911?l=kathyschindler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17665610617623985092noreply@blogger.com7
