I'll tell you who you are, Roslyn. You're still Trevor Carrington's daughter. My father passed away in 1999 (he had a long, happy life, and I thought of him quite a bit last week, as July 6th would have been his 97th birthday), and nobody had better try to tell me I'm not still the daughter of James Gordon Griffin. Life has certainly punched you in the belly lately. I don't think your crying jags are so much a reaction to being dropped by a publisher as they are a reaction to all the stressful situations that have happened in your life these last few months. (I know everybody's different, but when I was told that Arabesque was going in a different direction that did not include me I didn't shed a tear, I just wanted to know what the new direction was so I'd have a clear understanding of exactly what the heck was going on. Of course, by the time the letter came informing me - about eight months later - I'd already figured it out.) You're a talented writer, and there will <i>always</i> be a place in the market for writers with talent. Publishers make changes all the time (especially Harlequin, being one of the larger ones out there). Fortunately, there are other publishers to approach, and you already have demonstrated the ability write in more than one genre. So carry on and keep writing, like the daughter of Trevor Carrington would do. My condolences to you and your family on your losses.

Thank you, Bettye. It's good to know that somebody understands, and cares enough to write.

Hi Ros Our books came out in April together. Didn't know you were a Trini, I'm English born-Guyana raised. I'm commenting on your Me Day blog. I find that it actually takes about two days to unwind to get to the point where I can enjoy a calmer moment. Of course, that's rare, so then then the Me day becomes rare. Good luck with yours.
Roslyn answers through a cloud of fatigue:
Hi, Michelle. You're right about that! My "Me Day" turned into a "me two hours", which, as you can imagine, didn't do much. One of these good weeks I'll try the two week thing, if I can get over the guilt!

We are thinking of you all - what a tragedy for your family. He was a giant of a man who touched us all and made our lives that bit more interesting. It was a great privilege to know him and his imprint can be seen in the great family that he and Cynthia produced. May you all gain the strength to cope with this terrible loss.
Roslyn responds
Thank you, Eileen. That was a very moving tribute. I'll pass it on to my mother.

My sympathies to you, your mother and family. We will all miss his sense of joy and life. I enjoy reading your blog. Recently gave a copy of Dear Rita to my niece Heather. Hope it will inspire her in her writing.
Roslyn replies
Thanks, Ellie. I am grateful for your kind words.

Roslyn, I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Trevor. I want you to know that the Hosein kids loved Uncle Trevor very much. He was great fun. My two most enduring memories of him are Uncle Trevor and Daddy both at UWI in Kingston (or shortly after) calling each other "Genius" and heading out for a watering hole after they say "Let's roll" - I was three or so - and then a good, good fete at your home in Santa Cruz - when we were teens - and seeing Uncle Trevor and Aunt Cynthia dancing, Uncle Trevor was in full "get sumting and wave" mode. A beautiful bright light went out this Saturday night. We are all thinking of your family.
Roslyn replies
Thanks, Monique! I needed to hear that. It's a wonderful image, and just like my father. It was wonderful seeing your Dad and hearing Michael on the phone. Y'all be sure to drop me an e-mail so I can get in touch and hear what you're up to.

I'm coming home in July and I expect to be furnished with all the books I've missed. I reminisce on the days when you dropped off your draft for me. Dang, that seems like a lifetime ago!! Sheesh...life marches on whether you got the time to put your clothes on or not! *steups* It blows my mind that you are able to accomplish so much WITH the pickneys in tow! You are amazing! :) *smooches* and see you soon.
Roslyn responds testily
Maybe if you'd send me your damn e-mail address, which I can never remember, we can ole blague awhile....

Hey Roslyn, for your blog see if you could flex more of your website building skills to have the comments relating to the blog entry come up under it rather than be sent to this general comments area. I wanted to comment specifically on your upcoming review for Kayla Perrin's book to whoop and holler gleefully: fight, fight, fight!! Ha ha :P

Roslyn answers regretfully
I dunno. It seems to have fizzled out, sadly. I'd almost given up on it! Redesigning a new site now, so maybe when that's up I'll have to rethink it!
