I'm bouncing off the walls excited to let you know I got a call from my editor on Friday. They want to buy a second book for Steeple Hill Love Inspired!!!

Whew! I finally made it over that hurdle!! LOL

Missy--whose heart finally stopped pounding but who can't stop smiling. :)

    Thanks so much for celebrating with me, everyone!!

    Anne, the working title is Forever Home, but I pulled it out of a hat and didn't check to see if there were other books with that title. For all I know, they had one last month! :) Also, marketing has a say in the title, as well as the editors, so it's likely to change.

    It's not good to get too attached to your titles! :)

    Missy!

    As one who was NOT surprised that they'd want you, I'm dancing an Irish jig for you in WNY!!!

    Hooray for our very own Steel Magnolia!

    You go, girl!

    Very proud of you but not surprised by this news. You've shown nothing but strength and integrity as an author, and your wonderful nature lends you to being easy to work with.

    As long as they feed you chocolate brownies.

    Umm...

    Do they understand that requirement?

    Proud and pleased,

    Ruthy

    Thanks, Ruthy! Yes, I am a happy camper as long as I get my brownies.

    In fact, right now I'm not a very happy camper. Five minutes ago, I turned on the oven to pre-heat, pulled out my favorite mix (Duncan Hines Dark Fudge), got out a mixing bowl.... Then discovered we're out of eggs!!!!!!! Waaaaaaa.

    Missy :)
