When a Dream Comes True

22 Comments

phone callAugust 15, 2012. That’s the date I was offered representation by a literary agent.

She likes the way I write. Loved the story.

Me: (pinching self).

She wanted to sign me.

Me: (pinching self).

She would send the contract.

Me: (pinching self).

Got contract. Signed. Sent back.

Me: (pinching self).

Editing. Editing. Editing.

Me: (still pinching self).

    Congratulations! Cute way to break the news on your blog, too.

    By the way, love your website template. Is it new? I remember it as being different from this one, but maybe I’m just going crazy…Either way, it looks great – very clean and professional, with nice fonts and the fun light-up social networking buttons.

      Thanks, Caryn! Yes, the template is new because the old one focused on my YA writing and I needed something that would also work for my contemporary romance too.
