Almost five years from the day I conceived the idea for The Underground Gift, an agent has requested a partial. And the same day Tamar Rydzinski of The Laura Dail Literary Agency asked for 50 pages, Bird’s-eye View reached 50 followers.Wow! But that’s not all the excitement going on this weekend.
Author J.L. Campbell of The Character Depot invited me to stop by her blog to talk about when it’s time to share your work with others—from whom to share it with to how to react to the feedback you’re given, including those occasional zingers.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to visit Joy’s blog or her sister site, The Readers’ Suite, you’re in for a real treat, as her posts are filled with voice and excellent information. Hope to see you there!
P.S. Urban fantasy author Alexia Chamberlynn and I have put together a post about the role Amazon can play in revving up your marketing campaign. We’ll be featuring the details this Thursday on her site, The Life and Literary Pursuits of Alexia Chamberlynn. I’ll be sure to do a shout out when it goes live.

I'm so happy for, you, Michelle. You must be floating on air. Keep us posted, and I'll also be sure to visit Alexia'sand Joy's sites. They are among my favorite blogs.
50 is your new lucky number apparently. :)
And now off to the Character Depot.
Karen: With your first book now out and the buzz that Following the Whispers been getting, that's what is cool!
Elizabeth: I so agree that both Alexia and Joy have excellent sites; to guest post on both the same week I heard from Tamar has me on a definite high. :)
Marlena: I always thought it was 98, but I'm about to change my mind. :) Hope you enjoy your visit to The Character Depot; Joy is phenomenal.
Congratulations and I will visit the links asap.

Hi Michelle, so nice to connect with you today at Joy's blog!
Congratulations on all of the good things going on. And thank you for your visit to my blog and the nice comment. I am now a follower of Bird's-eye View. It took me a bit to figure out who Joy is since I just knew her by J.L.

Good news all around. Congratulations, Michelle. I see great things in your future!!
Arlee: Thank you very much for following Bird's-eye View. You have my apologies for calling J.L. Campbell "Joy." I have the same situation with Elizabeth Varadan, as I've always called her "Mitty." :)
Rosi: You've also played an important part of my being where and who I am today. Thank you!
I enjoyed your interview at JL Campbell's blog. Wise words!
Thanks, Theresa!
Oh my gosh, Michelle, this is wonderful news! I couldn't be happier for you, my new friend. Please keep all of us posted on this journey. We'll be here to share each celebration!
Hi, Marcie,
I've announced this only on FB and Twitter, but yesterday Allie Maldonado of WiDo Publishing and to see a full for The Underground Gift. I was so honored, as I deeply respect this publishing house. And I can't think of a better new friend to celebrate with!
Michelle
And even better news! I can't wait to hear what Allie says. I know you are over the moon.
