Happy Birthday To Us!!

October marks the one year birthday of Seekerville!

And over 300 posts!

It is amazing that 15 "characters" from all walks of life came together on a little island on Yahoo and formed a sisterhood based on our unity of faith and our desire to be published in novel length fiction. Still more amazing...we haven't killed each other yet!

Since our beginning in 2005, eight of us are now published in novel length romantic fiction and have left the island for the mainland. The remaining seven Seekers are more determined than ever to reach our publishing goals!

Who are we? The Seekers are a diverse group of writers whose ages span three decades and whose path to Seekerville includes numerous and varied careers. We hail from Colorado, California, Missouri, New York, Arizona, Florida, Nebraska, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Indiana.

Our blog was begun as a way to reach out to others and share the information about this journey that fifteen writers have learned along the way. We focus on contests as we are all contest divas with a collective background in judging, coordinating and even creating romance writing contests; however we don't hesitate to blog about other facets of the writing business.

We are very appreciative of those who stop by to comment, guest blog, or simply to share a cup of coffee and a virtual snack. We also love your sense of humor. Thank you for being a friend of Seekerville.

To celebrate our birthday, we will be giving away a weekly birthday present through the month of October. All you have to do is what you always do---stop by, say hi, laugh and share your insights and thoughts. Random names will be drawn and announced, but because it is a birthday present, of course what is inside is a surprise.

Once again. Thanks very much for being a friend of Seekerville. We look forward to another year with you!

Sincerely,

Tina, Camy, Ruth, Mary, Debby, Missy, Glynna, Pam, Myra,

Julie, Cara, Audra, Janet, Cheryl and Sandra
