Clue #1 @ 1:00 PM EST

a Market-ing guru she is--nothing less.

pink with personality, and great with the press.

"My Words," you might say, as you visit her site,

"this gal has it all and she blogs with such might!"

astounded you'll be, as she e-mails you back.

she certainly has just that kind of knack.

treating each person on her blog as a prime

you'll ask yourself, "how does she find time?"

Clue #2 @ 1:10

Spotlight on Agents is a feature so glam

that pulls you right out of your querying jam.

a helping hand you'll find at her blog every day,

even if it's just a kind word flying your way.

Tuesday's Tip helps inform, and she doesn't stop there,

but asks what you need and provides it with care.

she's open and honest--a true writerly friend,

and you'll never regret stopping by in the end!

Clue #3 @ 1:20

what is more fun, than Graffiti-ing her Wall?

authors and artists, everyone of y'all?

interviews of bloggers and writers abound,

from Inkwell, and verla's and everywhere 'round.

she's the best Writer's Ally--i can tell you that now.

with pizazz she blogs about writing know-how.

she answers each comment you leave with much glee

you know that her Alley is the place to be.

Clue #4 @ 1:30

"oh, besties," she cries, "do not ever despair!

we're in this together, of that I declare!

keep writing, keep going--i know you will ace

this novel you're writing, just keep up with the pace."

"here's a querying spoof that i wrote just for you.

and that shark Janet Reid just might show up here too

so pull up a chair, Grab A Pen, don't be late,

my lovey, my bestie, my writer, my mate!"

Last Clue @ 1:40

she's a blogging marvEl, anyone can attest.

and at answering comments, she's one of the best.

whether posting at querytracker, or at her own place,

she blogs with an abundance of humor and grace.

her Query-ing book can help you get on the baLl,

and snAg and ageNt, or at least, get the Call.

and once a month, check out her newsletter,

a fAntastic tool to help you write better!
