Description: A short biography and an excerpt from her novel, The Man for Her.
       I've been polishing a manuscript, buffing it up to shine like an apple for the teacher --  or a "must buy" for an editor. <g>       I love this part of the process.  Since I'm a stickler for grammar and punctuation, I have to gag my inner editor in order to get the raw story onto the page.  That means all kinds of awkward constructions, run-on sentences, questionable metaphors and lazy verbs make their way into the wip.  Now, with the story written, I get to wallow around in grammar-ville.  Verb phrases, often passive voice, get tossed in favour of a single, active verb.  Adjectives and adverbs are scrutinized.  Only those that are necessary are allowed to remain.
