Eyre, Chris and Lily--for your dedication to commenting on my blog

And to all my other online friends, family, peers, readers and fans--thank you for your support! I do it all for you!!

Many many congrats on your first year of being published...
ReplyDeleteWishing you many more and loads of sales...
Congrats hon..
E.h>
You may be the most prolific writer I have EVER SEEN :D Did you actually get all that penned in a single year, or did you have ten novels in a drawer looking for a good home? Anyway, congrats on the amazing success and may your next year be as fruitful as this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks EH, you deserve a mention too, you've been very supportive!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! LOL, well I started writing only about 6 mos before I was pubbed. My first still hasn't seen the light of day, and my second is one of the ones coming out in about a month. RR was my third and A Pint Light my fourth, so yeah, pretty much all of them were written in the past year. :) No novels yet though, that's still beyond my patience, although I have a couple planned.
Happy anniversary, hon! You're an amazing author and I'm so happy I have the privilege to work with you! Mwah.
ReplyDelete(no need to enter me in the contest. let some other lucky reader win that. i just wanted to say happy anniv. :-D)

ReplyDeleteAnd I too second the question - did you write all ten books in just one year? I am utterly amazed - from now on, whenever the urge to procrastinate sneaks on me, I'll think of you as a good example! :)
