An Announcement

Initiate Hibernation Sequence

This was my bed yesterday when I went to take a nap.

I slept till EIGHT this morning!!!

Okay, that’s not the announcement.

The announcement is, this week I accepted an offer from The Wild Rose Press to publish my little city fireman book, Where There’s Smoke. This is a best friends-turned-lovers story that I wrote, well, I don’t remember, but after the fireman band played at my old school. The Incredibly Handsome guitar player actually turned out to be the son of my uncle’s best friend, so I wrote a story about him ending up with my cousin. I loved writing that story, and it was my very first revision request for SSE, who eventually rejected it twice. So I’m very happy it’s getting a shot! No idea when…or what name…I would so love to keep my own name, but you know, the whole teacher thing.

So…I’m going to be published. I wish my grandmother was around.
