This is a first for me. I have never before had a blog and I am venturing into this world at the request of my publisher, Breathless Press. Working with a publisher is also a first.
I have been a member of a writer’s site (FanStory.com) for almost a year now and just recently they collaborated with Breathless Press to create a Christmas Romance contest. One other member, Summer Falls, author of 'Stellar Surprise', and I were the lucky recipients of a publishing contract! There has been nothing in my past experience to compare the feeling I got when I opened up that message in my inbox.
Stunned incomprehension slowly gave way to euphoria as I read and reread the note. My hands started to shake so badly I dropped the phone twice before managing to dial my husband’s cell phone number. The moment I opened my mouth to share my exciting news I began to cry. Laughter and tears came out in equal measure. I wanted to shout my joy to the world!
My friends and family have been wonderful listening to my non-stop babble concerning my writing and my soon-to-be-published book. My editor is fantastic. She has been incredibly kind and patient with my questions. I could not have asked for someone better. The artwork and promotional information will be available to see here as soon as I have them.
Woo Hoo! I am about to become an honest to goodness published author!
