Last year I came up with my own version of "All I Want for Christmas." My version replaced two front teeth with a two-book deal. Well, that deal still hasn't happened...but I did sell ONE!
Last week I got the call from my agent. Deja Vu, which placed first in the ACFW Genesis contest a few months ago, was picked up by Steeple Hill. Deja Vu is a romantic suspense and will be put out (possibly in October of next year) under Steeple Hill's Love Inspired Suspense line.
Emily Rodmell will be my editor, and I'm looking forward to working with her. She's offered a lot of feedback and encouragement over the last couple of years. It'll be a privilege to have her as an editor.
So...now the party begins! Cheesecake Factory, here I come. And then I'll have to get to work. I'm already learning things about the business side of the writing life. And wondering why I submitted two pages of things I'd do to try to sell my book. Two pages? Oh boy... :-)
I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who has helped me get this far. Thank you for the advice, the encouragement, the feedback, the hugs and smiles and prayers. I couldn't have done this without you. Merry Christmas!!!
