…but I’m of two minds when it comes to Fall. Upset because Summer is over, and upset because Winter’s not far behind! Give me Spring, Summer and Fall and a little bit of Winter and I’d be happy. I know, that will never happen unless I move somewhere else…..

The month has been busy – a lot of changes at work; I had applied for a couple of positions, but unfortunately they were a no-go; had my birthday, which friends celebrated with lunches, gifts and words of encouragement (aren’t friends great?) and slowly but surely slogging away at the writing.

Which brings me to the best part – I actually (and finally) received a contract for my urban fantasy, Eternal Heiress!! After spending almost a year sending and waiting for answers from agents and print pubs, I didn’t get one bite. I hadn’t given up though; I did tell myself that I would submit to e-pubs. But which one? After trying a couple and not getting any positive responses, a fellow author recommended Double Dragon Publishing, a Canadian e-pub that’s been around for a while with a long list of authors. I even have a friend who’s published with them, and after emailing her, she told me that she was happy with their team.

So submit I did; at the beginning of August. I kept working on other things until I heard from the e-pub 5 weeks later. How’s that for turnaround? And he offered me a contract!!! I’m so thrilled that I finally found a home for a story that I enjoyed writing so much. It won’t release until 2013 as DDP’s lineup is already full for 2012 (!), but that’s okay. It means I can work on other projects.

And it just proves my point again that persistence pays off.

Next on the list? I’m working on the sequel to “A Gentleman’s Savior” with the goal of making this story a trilogy. Happy writing, everyone! :)
