I got a call from my Western Romance editor offering me another three book contract.

I’m absolutely thrilled. I love writing these cowboy romances, and I’m excited to sign on for three more! So is my editor–which really makes this process fun when your editor loves your writing. She calls my books “funny, emotional and engaging.”

Now, I’m terrible at figuring out how to celebrate these things. I tend to internalize it, and I’ll trot down the street to pick up my son from school, beaming to myself in delight. This is what a happy author looks like… for the record. 😉

When the contract gets emailed to me, I’ll sign it and mail it back, and I will put those books into the lineup for me to write. And there is nothing I love more than lining up books to write… well, except maybe signing contracts.

Have a piece of cake in honor of my new contract.  I’d love to be your excellent excuse for a treat. 🙂

 

Contract signing

It’s a big day when I actually put pen to contract. There is a lot of work leading up to this point, and the contract is offered a couple of weeks before I ever get the legal document, so by the time I sit down and actually sign, I’ve already done a fair amount of celebrating.

As you may recall, I had two contracts offered to me on the same day, but the first contract arrived a couple of days earlier, and when I signed it, I was wearing long johns and no makeup, so not exactly a photo op.

When this contract arrived, I made sure to put on a bit of makeup… and you can’t see the long johns. (Its winter. This is Canada. It’s how I roll.)

The contracts are now signed and sent back to the legal department, which leaves me with the hard work of delivering five full manuscripts over the next calendar year.

This is the fun part!

 

A contract, a contract!

Good news over here–I’ve been offered another Love Inspired contract! I will give you more information after I’ve signed, but I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Writing is a pretty solitary activity, and after the writing, it’s all about the waiting. So when I finally get news like this–you can imagine how excited I am.

I have two more stories in the works for you after this one. One is already written–a firefighter romance this time–and will be sent off to my editor just as soon as we’re finished with any final editing, and the other I’ve just started writing. So rest assured, there will be more Love Inspired novels from Yours Truly in the future.

My birthday just passed, and I offered my special day as a great excuse for my Facebook fans to go enjoy some cake. Well, now I have another great excuse for cake! If you want to help me celebrate my new contract, go find something delectable that breaks your diet. 🙂
