My first sales

Back in February, I took an on-line writing class that was taught by Jan Springer. The class was about writing erotic romance. I had discovered erotic romances, as a reader, about three or four months earlier. I was hooked. And, I thought, if I could get over my initial modesty, I could write that type of romance.

I was lucky enough to have several wonderful and talented ladies in this class, and we established ourselves as a support and critique group. Through their help, I have since sold twice: one novella ("Dragon's Bane") and one short story ("Careful Wishes") to Whiskey Creek Press-Torrid. My latest contest entry, "City of the Dead", is on its way to NY to the desk of Kate Duffy at Kensington.

I'm so thrilled, I can hardly stand myself.
