I was right. The week wasn’t over.
I’m not sure if the planets were in alignment or if my chakras were balanced or if it was just plain dumb luck, but I have been given contracts for all three sequels to Murphy’s Law. BookStrand will release Free Falling, All the Right Reasons, and Faith of the Heart.
I spent most of Wednesday night crying like a baby I was so happy. The wonderful things my editor said about my writing — especially after I’d just soldiered through a very disappointing rejection — hit me on a level I didn’t know existed. I’ve always been emotional. Shoot, I write romance, remember? But when she told me my writing was “superb,” I couldn’t do anything for a few minutes except stare at the email and sob. Pathetic, ain’t it?
I’m so grateful to BookStrand, especially to my editor Diana, that I can’t even properly express myself. Bad thing for a writer. I am looking forward to everything — from the edits to writing the blurbs to knowing one day soon, I’ll be a published author.
Life doesn’t get much better than this.
See what I mean? Just go read the comment from your last post!
Nah, it’s worth typing again: CONGRATULATIONS! You are now multi-multi-multi-published!
Thanks, Lainey! I’m still in a bit of shock over the whole thing. I’m just so tickled that Diana thinks so much of my writing!
I do think, however, I’m probably out of surprises for a while. lol
See Mrs. James? We always told you your smut was awesome ;-). Great job. I am very happy for you. Will there be a release party? Those always seem fun… Congrats!
Hi, Brian! You do realize I owe you a smack upside the head for the “smut” comment, right?
No release party, unless you count me dancing around the house, and that would just be awkward if anyone saw me.
I fully expect and look forward to my head smack. Dancing around the house sounds like a pretty awesome release party to me. I do it sometimes and I don’t have any reason! Anyway, congrats again!
