Sorry my post is late!

Last Wednesday I received a call. What kind of call? A call from an editor at Kensington Publishing offering me a two book deal for their Aphrodisia line! They want to buy my erotic Sci Fi, The Captured Rose, which won the Stroke of Midnight contest last year (in its category). Plus they wanted me to write one more book! Hence the two book deal.

So since I was a bit :bounce: and I told him I’d like to speak with an agent first! So I hung up and started contacting several agents. I’m completely thrilled and stoked to say that Friday morning I called back and accepted an offer for representation from Laura Bradford! And as of a few minutes ago, the deal is official with Kensington (hence the late post!)

So the last five days have been great–except the trying to keep it a secret bit. Word trickles out *sigh*. And then I also had the stomach flu all weekend, that kind of sucked. Oh, and I got a really nasty sun burn on Saturday, but still, it couldn’t put a damper on my :cloud9:

I will say that my book The Captured Rose is really different than anything I’ve ever written, it’s hotter than most of my stuff, more serious/intense, some consider controversial (in the contest), but I love it. It was my first attempt at a Sci Fi (though I’ve been told by some beta readers it has a contemporary feel set in the future) and I had a blast writing it! I’m just so completely thrilled that Kensington loved it and wanted to buy it. :wootrock:

So thanks to all my friends and family who swore this call would come some day, you had faith, even when I began to lack it!
