Excitement of the day!

So One Chance was released today, officially, and release day always make me nervous, in case I forget to do something or do something stupid like get my release date mixed up. Totally author nerves. I get them every time I have a new book coming out.

Since I’m so used to hiding out in my cave and working and just focusing on writing or editing, I’m oblivious to what’s going on around me…most of the times, but I am known to be very detailed-oriented and organized (<–that’s a lie. I may look organized, but I’m seriously a bag of chaos!) So you may think I don’t notice, but I do notice a lot of things.

But the exciting thing was finding out that One Chance, only officially released a few hours ago has earned a silver star at All Romance e-books! How exciting is that? Check it out here! It’s so shiny!

I’m having a contest on my main website, so don’t be shy and stop over and talk to me! Share your story with me!

Blurb:

Shy tomboy Jenna Faulkner has been in love her whole life—with her best friend. Except he’s marrying the wrong woman, and he doesn’t know it yet. But she’s determined to save him.

Instead of the normal bachelor party, Jenna decides to throw a different type of gathering…with just her. Alone. Will Cade finally come to his senses and see Jenna for more than a friend, or has she ruined their friendship once and for all?

    New 3-Book Series Requested!

    I so love my editor at Entangled Publishing! 

    I was having one of those crazy nights, staying up late with my CP’s and chatting about promoting as an author and we got talking about submissions. It’s still nerve-racking for me to sub anything. Every story I pen, each story I outline, I go through the whole normal anxiety attack, ‘oh, they’re going to hate it,’ ‘I suck as a writer’. I know you know what I’m talking about!

    I’ve been staring at this one chapter I’ve written, contemplating if I should sub it or just finish writing the whole book first. Of course, my awesome editor at Entangled, Libby, is always open to new ideas and discussions.

    So I went for the kill.

    I hit sent, along with a synopsis and query to show that everything was well planned out.

    Only to dig myself into a hole. As usual.

    My editor emailed me that morning and asked for a 3 Book Series! How cool is that! Now I have to force my tush down and actually write out the first book and my proposal for the other two!

    You would think I’d be a little more prepared. I thought I would have time to actually write out the story before she actually reviews it, but it’s just so great when you have an editor that believes in your work and is as excited about it as you are.

    Now I’m off to work on my proposal. But keep your fingers crossed. Hope they love the story! And always remember, never to give up!
