I Won!!

Back in September, I submitted an entry for the Zodiac writing contest sponsored by Liquid Silver Books. My entry, Redemption, was for the last book--Pisces. My friend Jenna won her first writing contract with LSB with the Scorpio book.

And, as I found out yesterday, now it's my turn with LSB! I don't know when the book will be out -- some time early next year (January or February). But... woo-hoo!!

Redemption is the story of Abigail O'Neil, a feisty woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and is still in danger. She is assigned a supernatural Protector, Damon Stratham, who, in the course of guarding her, falls in love with her and commits all sorts of no-nos, not the least of which is letting his 'assignment' not only see him, but touch him. Add in a cranky archangel boss and a vampire Protector (both of whom are good guys, believe it or not), and all sorts of mayhem ensues.

I'll keep you posted as to when this book is available. Be sure to pick up a copy!

This is my fourth contract in three months. Yet another affirmation that my decision to quit my job on September 1st (the job that was making me crazy and driving my blood pressure out of whack, the job that was slowly working me into an early grave) and concentrate on writing for a while was the absolute right decision at the right time.

A big thank you to my brazen vixen buds who critiqued this for me. Your help was and continues to be invaluable!

Ah, Sherrill...writing is good, but getting PAID for writing is far better!

Wowsers! I'm proud of you! A working writer! You should be crowing about this, it's a magnificent achievement!

It's DOUBLY impressive because you're doing what you love doing...not killing yourself at a horrible job.

And I'll look forward to the book being out!

Thanks, guys. This has been an exciting day for me. Got back from my local RWA chapter's Christmas party to find the contract in my email. Yay!
