My very first book came out September 9, 2009.

100-some-odd books, 4 international relocations, several co-authors, 4 pen names, a dozen or so publishers, quite a few tattoos, several million words later, 1 agent, numerous cons, and a lot of mistakes later...

It's been a hell of a ride, and now it's my 10th anniversary as a published author. O.O The book that started it all, Between Brothers, is still in print, though no longer with its original publisher (it's self-published now).

Of course, a hat tip to everyone on AW. I joined in late 2006, and this community was a huge part of me getting off my butt (or, well, getting my butt in a chair) and getting serious about writing. Thank you all!

Congratulations, Lori - that's some achievement. I think about what I've achieved writing-wise over the last ten years and it pales into insignificance compared to your stats. From what I recall you've always been a fast and prolific writer- long may it continue.
