More Good News From My Friends!
Kate Lang received one of the best birthday presents yesterday that a writer can get: an offer to contract the two short stories she submitted to Whiskey Creek Press - Torrid for their new Torrid Teasers line.
From the group of us who took that on-line class from Jan Springer in February of this year, three of us now have contracts with Whiskey Creek Press - Torrid. While we all have talent (more on some days than others), I do want to give credit where credit is due.
First, to Jan for being such a great teacher. All of us learned A LOT from that class. Most of us also got revved up to be serious (or more serious) about our writing. The participants of the class formed a support/critique group, which is where the rest of the credit is given.
We started out calling ourselves Brazen Hussies. We write erotic romance, after all. Recently we became aware that there is a group of three authors who have a website and as a group call themselves Brazen Hussies. So we switched to Brazen Vixens. We support each other not just in our writing, but in our lives. Have a spouse, parent or other family member of friend who's being less-than-supportive? Vent to the Vixens. Have a boss who's being a real you-know-what? Vixens will listen. Need to get advice on what to do about anything? Hey, the Vixens don't hesitate to offer opinions.
I am incredibly psyched for Kate. It's the best feeling in the world, to be able to say you've got a contract for your work. It's even better when you have two!
