I’ve finally done it. After years of working and sweating I’ve finally managed to sell a book. I got the email on Friday, April 13th. IMO, Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day and this past Friday was luckier then most. It started by being awoken by an annoying telemarketer, but I didn’t stay annoyed for long. In fact, a short ten minutes later when I logged onto my email. My day brightened significantly.

When I saw the message from the editor I’d been corresponding with I did not want to open it. I was just not in the mood for rejection, but I figured sometimes you just have to rip the band-aid off and get it over with. To my surprise and delight the message was the offer of a contract from The Wild Rose Press for my paranormal romantic suspense novel currently titled Only in Her Dreams.

Needless to say my excitement was off the charts. I grabbed the phone and called my Mom. I was talking so fast she couldn’t understand me. She was the first of many excited calls I made that day. By the end of the day I was wiped from emotion overload. The next day I received a bouquet of chocolate covered strawberries from my two best friends in the world. They are truely awesome and they made this special event even better.

I can’t even begin to say how thrilled I am to finally get to this point and I’m so looking forward to the road ahead.
