Celebrate the Year!

Can you believe this is the last Friday of 2013?  When I was a little kid, it seemed to take FOREVER for Christmas to arrive.  Now, the time just flies by with a lovely whoosh.

Since 2013 is winding down, I wanted to take a minute to celebrate all the good writing things that happened this year.

- I sold my first book, DEADLY CONTACT, to Harlequin
- DEADLY CONTACT was published in November
- I sold 2 more books to Harlequin (which will be released in August and December of 2014)

But most importantly, I've made some amazing friendships and connections through blogging.  I appreciate each and every one of my readers, and I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2014!

If you've been reading my blog, you know that Fridays are reserved for a post where I celebrate the little things that have happened during the week.  This is a blog hop hosted by VikLit, and it's one of my favorite blogging things to do.  I encourage you to check out her blog and the full list of participants, because who doesn't love reading about good things?

  1. You sold two more!?! Holy batcrap! I knew about one. That is fantastic and well deserved. You must be writing your patootie off to meet that schedule. So proud for you. Standing in line for mine. Let me know when I can preorder.

  2. Sounds like you had a fantastic year. Congratulations on the two contracts. Believe it or not, your book is sitting on my Kindle. So many books to attack during 2014.

    1. Thanks, Nana! I know what you mean about having a huge stack of books to tackle--I was just thinking today that I need to stop buying new books and work on clearing my shelf, but that's not going to happen ;)

  5. You've accomplished so much! Congrats on the two new contracts! I only pubbed one book this year and haven't written any new ones. I'm very glad I don't measure my personal happiness by my "accomplishments" 'coz they've made barely a ripple in my life (or the publishing world as a whole). I'm wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!
