A sad day

Today's a very sad day for me. My romantic ghost story, "Breathless," is officially gone from the virtual bookshelves. I am in love with this story, and I'm ever grateful to Three Worlds for giving it a shot to exist in the world at all, to Gina Wynn for partnering with me to give it that extra shine and polish, and to Magali Frechette for turning it into a beautiful pic that will always be special to me because it was my first solo cover. I will also be grateful for those who bought it, read it, and reviewed it. Even if a story earns negative feedback, there's nothing worse to a writer than not having it read. And I was lucky to get so many positive responses to "Breathless." So, THANK YOU, everyone.

As for the future of this book, I'm still thinking that through. For now, I'm going to kiss this one goodbye and focus on all the exciting things that have happened in the year since learning Three Worlds was going to put out my first stand-alone title. I've made SO MANY friends (and I'm thinking of the other folks mourning their stories, too). I've learned more about writing than I could have hoped for. I've grown as a writer and actually written 3 new books and three more short stories (and look for NEWS on a couple things VERY SOON). I've learned that helping other writers spread the word about their stories brings me great joy, because stories WANT to be read.

So, though I'm sad, I'm also extremely happy and filled with excitement for what's to come. Thanks so much to everyone who's been part of this-as a reader, a fellow author or publishing professional, and as a friend.

2016 is brand new. Let's see what else is in the cards.
