GlennM's Journal, 21 April 2011

Well, the first agency that read my work rejected it. So try, try again I must. I have also added in the synopsis that I will be sending out that the book contains a strong religious element throughout the story as do the other two books I wrote - as it was a the times they were in. Church attendance in Puritan New England was often mandatory. I am keeping true to the way the things were in the past. In my science fiction, there is rarely anything about religiousness as it tends to lean toward modern times and we know how they are. I may have LOTS of books done at the rate things are going when I do get published. That is when. The publishing industry tends to lean liberal as I generally am, but I told the story in the book as it was then, so people could truly get a feel for what it was like to live in times 300 years ago, I left out the tragic consequences of one woman who gave birth in the town to an illegitimate baby she was alleged to have killed because it was just too much - heavy, as the book is in a way, but those were the times and I sort of wanted to write the way they should be and always will, and if it means it may take a lot longer to get published, so be it. An acquaintance lost lots of weight, she said by walking, giving up mayo and salty and sugary snacks... thought I would put that tip in...
