For some reason, book sales tend to fall in groups of five. Milestones of 10 books, 15, 25, 50....
Today I hit my first milestone. I've sold The Cowboy's Princess, making it my 5th Harlequin Romance.
I don't have an official title yet, but it is slotted for January 09!
I promised Christina Hollis last week I'd post a couple of chocolate recipes after her post on the Pink Heart Society. I have to run to work and then my physio appt as well as other errands today, but come back tomorrow for 2 recipes, one so easy it's crazy and the other more time consuming but SO WORTH IT.
For now I'm off.

Awwww....
Thanks all! For some odd reason this feels a wee bit like a turning point...which actually after the last few months is VERY welcome. Maybe it's just spring in the air, lol.
Anyway I'm thrilled...and I hear that feeling never goes away.
Cheers,

P.S. One of those chocolate recipes wouldn't be for fudge would it??
Congrats!
Donna--I didn't realize this was a milestone sale! Congratulations on that. What a cool thing to feel you have a body of work now. The premise sounds intriguing too.
Have fun!

Thank you all, seriously. It did make me more happy than I anticipated. LOL.
I'll be back in a bit with a new post and those chocolate recipes. And no Dee, it's not for fudge, the noun, but it IS fudge-y. :-)

Gosh, Lori, it seems to me your number should be much higher! WHich likely tells me you're very good at getting your name out there. And writing great books that readers are talking about.
I know, it's a little surreal, isn't it. I'm pretty sure I know my title now and I am going to confirm it before I post it, but I'm quite happy with it.
