While I can’t tell you how happy that makes me, I’d also like to tell you about some friends of mine who were instrumental in my journey to publication.
In a nice turn of fate, Devin and I have books that are being released on the same day: today! Amber just released PlayFling on her own at Smashwords.com while she's waiting to hear back from editors and agents, and you can find more of her work (also under the name Amber Dayne) at Liquid Silver Books and New Concepts Publishing. She has previously had work published by Cobblestone Press – there is no stopping this woman! This weekend she’ll join six of her local romance authors for a panel discussion at the
You can find Devin McKee's book, Dangerous Magic at the Wild Rose Press. On Wednesday, February 10, the Montpelier Friends of the Library will be hosting her first book signing. If you’re in
In the upcoming week or so, I'll be interviewing Devin and Amber so they can tell you more about their journey in their own words. I'll also be appearing on Amber's blog in the near future as well. I'll post the details as soon as I have them. Really, these are great gals - talented and a lot of fun. I think you'll like them, so please check them out. :)
Congratulations, hon! Looking forward to the interviews. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Release Day, Kate! Mucho luck!
ReplyDeleteSheesh, you guys have scattered. From Mesa to Ohio and... where did you go? Kansas? ;-)
Gah! I've tried three times already to respond here!
ReplyDeleteLana - thank you. I hope Charles's mother is ok. Big hugs to both of you.
Nat - thanks! I'm too tired from fighting with blogger now to repost the witty response I had ealier. lol
Happy release day! Hope you make many, many sales!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so excited for you. And congratulations to Devin and Amber, as well. Let the sales gods rain money and fame onto all of your shoulders!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Edie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Avery. From your fingertips to the sales gods' ears! :)
Kate, thank you so much for sharing this. How far we three have come! Ten years or so from now, when we're terribly brilliant and famous, let's hit that little cafe again and firmly pat each other's backs. I'm so thrilled for you and wish you every success.
ReplyDeleteAvery, thank you so much for your good wishes. This journey is definitely an adventure!

ReplyDeleteAmber, it's a date! :)
(Only, let's hope it doesn't take ten years.:)
I love this sort of success story. Congratulations. I enjoyed seeing you on facebook, too. Now all you have to do is join me on twitter as well, and it will be a full house. Or am I mixing metaphors?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stewart. It's now officially a full house - am following your tweets. :) I'm looking forward to your zombie story, and really think YOU should write the Shakespearean fantasies.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of zombies and fantasy tales... maybe one of these days I'll finish that story I started with the evil King Stewart, young prince Sidney, Wayne the talking sword, and Charles the zombie. Of course, now you've given me the idea to make it a bit of a Macbeth spinoff. Wayne might make a nice ghost, don't you think? :)
