3581145_blogIt’s nice to have one of these once in a while.

This week one of my dear writing buddies, Bria Quinlan, landed a dream agent. Her book, Secret Girlfriend, brought me back to my teenage years and made me laugh and cry like a schoolgirl.

Blog penpals Lisa and Laura Roecker announced their first sale of The Haunting of Pemberly Brown to Sourcebooks. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time because I knew it was going to happen!

Edited to add: And more good news! Fellow Ruby Sister, Tamara Hogan, sold her debut novel Underbelly as part of a three book series to Deb Werksman of Sourcebooks. Underbelly is set to be released in 2011! There’s still time left for more good tidings. :)

I received approval for my first conference speaking opportunity on Monday and I received an offer for my historical short from Harlequin Undone on Tuesday! It’s a love story that’s mentioned briefly in Butterfly Swords and forms the basis for Ai Li’s honorable yet feisty character.

If you’ve browsed by on Excerpt Monday, you may remember that I posted the opening in first draft: Warrior Bride excerpt

The details are still being hammered out, but right now I’m glowing that this little story will see the light of day and that I have a second sale.

Good energy is in the air. Can you feel it?

One more day until Golden Heart/RITA announcements!!!! The anticipation is one of the reasons I enter. I’m planning on hitting the refresh button on Judi Fennell’s and the RWA national website a gazillion times tomorrow.

A friend of mine says I can just pay her $50 and she’ll call me or not call me on March 25. She may talk big, but she entered too.

I hope someone I know finals so I have someone to cheer for in Washtington D.C. Also crossing my fingers forĀ  “Butterfly Swords”. It’s a long shot, but I like having a horse in the race.

Listings throughout the day. Everything will be listed by 2pm Central time
