28 Years Later...
Today is 28 years since John Lennon was killed. It is also 28 years since my husband and I got together.
We were living in southern California, and we spent the day together. It was the first time I heard my vocals on tape. Chuck recorded me on a reel to reel performing a song I wrote the year before called, "Frozen Fields."
When I got home that night, my roommate asked if I'd heard the news. "What news?" I asked. "John Lennon was shot in New York City." I ran to my room, shut the door, and turned on the radio. Sure enough, it was true. When it was announced that he had died, the tears came hard and fast. Chuck came over, we held a candlelight vigil, played Beatles music all night, and have been together ever since. Happy Anniversary to us, and to John: thank you for your music, your spirit, your inspiration. May you rest forever in peace...
Today is also my baby sister's birthday. (I won't say which one, but think Jack Benny.) Happy birthday, Michelle. I love you!
The picture above on the left is Chuck & I shortly after we got together, and on the right, in Cancun on June 27th of this year celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary!
Frozen Fields
I ran through the night with you
Counting the clouds that block my view
Finding out the light is you
And feeling the warmth that pulls me through
Have I known this song before?
In the frozen fields I walk alone
Hoping in time to free myself
In a land where love can conquer all
Sacred dreams I can't let go unless my dreams come true
Soaring through my heart and soul is the love I feel for you
And I know what this love must mean to you
As your eyes light the fire that burns into
The freedom that flows through everyone
And is altered upon the wind of song
Grazing on the frosted plains and laughing at the night
Are clear cut signs of lost remains that prove that love is right, love is right
And I know what this love must mean to you
As your eyes light the fire that burns into
The freedom that flows through everyone
And is altered upon the wind of song
Have I known this song before?
In the frozen fields I've walked alone
Hoping in time to free myself in a land where love can conquer all
Love can conquer all, oh, yes it can...

The Check is in the Mail
Well, the submission anyway. I'd have sent a check, but I don't think agents are accepting bribes these days. However, with the economy and all...
My first three chapters, synopsis, and cover letter are signed, sealed, and soon to be delivered via USPS (return receipt requested.) Now, I get to sit and wait for 2-3 months. What will I do with all that time?
Oh, yeah. Edit my manuscript...
