I've had this news under my hat for a few weeks and struggled whether to post it here or not. I don't ever want to look like I'm bragging, yet I read about some of your struggles and I want to reach through the screen and say 'don't give up!'
While many authors are overnight successes in a race to the top, for most of us we have to remember it's more of a marathon.
So.....here it is....My good news is this: What started out as a simple novella written to self pub between books has miraculously turned into a contract with Amazon Publishing for a 3-book deal. The first book in my new trilogy will be released mid-2013. If you want to know how I got from A to Z, you can read more about it on my blog. While everyone's journey is different, I wrote a post about mine in the hopes that it can help any writer who is in the same shoes I was a few years ago.
