The Call
Monday, October 6th, 2008 Oct 6th, 2008 leave a response

THE SPANISH MAGNATE’S REVENGE will now officially be a Harlequin Presents novel! I don’t have the full details yet, but I got the magical call this morning. I’ll post more about that tomorrow. :)

Thanks to everyone who cheered me along the way. Keep working on your own stories, because you can get there too. :)

    Thank you so much, everyone!!!! I’m feeling all teary eyed, but my hubby’s comment put me over the top. It’s been a long road, hasn’t it, sweetie? :)

    Terry, you know I’ll sign a book for you!!! :) Thanks for being there for me!

    Kate, thank you so much for stopping by!! Your comments in SF really helped me so much. I was getting a little frantic with the thought of rewrites again. But your advice and your assurance it was normal to revise just really made me feel better. :)

    Hi Lynn,
    So glad to hear you made it. I was one who didn’t, but it was great to hear about your journey to being pubbed. Congrats to you–The first chapter on IHeart was awesome–you have voice and talent-so keep writing. Have your feet touched the ground yet?
    All the best, Toni

    Thank you, Donna, Cat, Patricia, and Natalie! And Natalie, thanks for your encouragement. All the revision stories from the Presents/MH authors really helped me see I could do it!! :)

    Toni, thank you! And I hope you put a “yet” at the end of that sentence about not making it. :) Because if you stick with it, write a lot, learn and grow, you WILL get there. It’s taken me a very long time. :)

    Thank you so much for enjoying my chapter, and saying such nice things. I hope you will enjoy the book when it comes out! I’m just so darn happy that Alejandro and Rebecca will be out there for everyone to read! I still haven’t taken it all in. :)
