I am over-the-moon, happy dancing, (insert your favorite celebratory cliche here) to announce that I will be writing for the Harlequin Books Romantic Suspense line! I still grin like a kid at Christmas when I think about getting the call, working out the details and making the decision to sign the contract.
With all that done, now I’m basically shouting it from the rooftops of social media. 🙂
On Friday, before the the historic rainfall hit SC in earnest, I got “The Call!” from my new editor at Harlequin. The conversation was amazing, though the celebration was postponed – like so many things around here – due to heavy rain and flash flooding in the days that followed.
I’ve been writing commercial fiction for fourteen years and my journey, with all it’s ups and downs, is unique but not uncommon. There have been plenty of tough lessons, surprises, and pitfalls since my first sale and first release ten years ago, too many things are outside of an author’s control in this business.
While I celebrate, I also want to give a big THANK YOU for all the friends, family, mentors, readers, and industry professionals who helped me every step along the way as I found my voice, my genres, and my opportunities.
All of those steps – forward, back, or sideways – led me here and I am basically spinning in delighted circles in the midst of yet another defining moment, full of joy and excitement and waves of happiness.
Readers will see my first book for Romantic Suspense in November 2016. So yes, it will be a bit of a wait but it will definitely be worth it. As always, I will keep you updated with this project, as well as the others on my plate.
In the meantime…
Live the adventure!
