The announcement came during Pitch Madness so I couldn't blog about it. But I making up for lot time now.
So I actually got the offer in January, but because I had multiple submissions I had to wait for them all to come back and then work out what I was doing.
I had queried Eden Plantz specifically as her wish list at the time fitted my story. Naturally, I started stalking her on Twitter. I saw a tweet that read she was going to make an author very happy, but her internet was down. Of course I thought there was no way it would be me as I'd not long sent in my submission. The next day I sent out a new lot of queries and literally minutes after I had I had an email for Eden making an offer.
And I kinda went like this:
Then a little bit of this:
And some of this:
So then there was a waiting game as those queries I'd just sent off resulted in swiftly requests for fulls as well. So it ended up being a couple of months between the offer and me being able to sign and announce it.
After Eden had offered, a very persistent Ashley Christman insisted that I was perfect for their Marketing Director Role so now I'm on both sides of the publishing world.
I'm loving the close knit family feel of Entranced and I can't wait to get into edits with my editor.
I want to thank everyone who supported me, especially the Sommies - you guys rock.
