Intentions of Sueann's Musings

Good evening!

Beginning this blog is a new direction for me. I have published three volumes of poetry and prose, edited one. I am working on several children's books, a lengthy formal poetry series, and a collection of creative nonfiction essays. I have even begun dabbling in fiction, thanks to FirstLines publication. (There's nothing like a first line to trigger a completely different perspective from which to write!)

My recent publication of Mother Muse: A collection of poetry and prose celebrating the joys and challenges of motherhood has jumpstarted my interest in writing in all genres, and the only downside to its publication (its self-publication status) has been the catalyst to my search for markets for my works besides the great-in-its-own-rite Lulu.com. Hopefully you'll see more of my writings out in the 'real' world, joining Awake Before Dawn and Midnight Summons, my FootHills Publishing collections.

Thanks for reading, and if you know of any great resources, calls, and/or opportunities for marketing, promotion, etc., please let me know.
