My Good News!!!

Chiquita Banana · Nov 15, 2011

Been waiting for years to be able to post this one... I've sold my first book! Yay!

It's a sweet romance with a quirky edge and the title is Fashioning a Romance. (My heroine is a seamstress). I'm publishing with Musa under the name of Libby Mercer.

So exciting!!! And scary... after so many years of hoping someone would take a chance on me, I'm totally elated, but under that elation is the fear. What will the readers think?! It's a bit different. Especially my hero - he's rather unconventional. But TBH, I'm way more excited than afraid. Now to finish the next one....

Having "critiqued" something you recently posted in SYW, I am not surprised by this at all. You really know what you're doing.

Congratulations!
