Celebrate the Small Things - and the big ones, too!



Yay for Friday!  That means it's time for another blog hop, hosted by VikLit.  Check out her blog for the full list of fellow celebrants!

This week I'm celebrating several rather big events.  In case you missed my original announcement, I got an agent, and I signed a contract with Harlequin Romantic Suspense for my first book!  Champagne all around!

I'm also thrilled to report that a former student of mine was awarded a scholarship!  S/he emailed to tell me the good news, and my heart grew three sizes as I read the message.  I'm so proud of them!

How was your week?

      Hi Jamie,

      No release date yet--probably late this year or early next year. I'll definitely post as soon as I know!
