Yesterday Was A Big Day!

What a day yesterday turned out to be!

My friend Eden Bradley sold in an auction to Bantam Dell for a two book deal, my friend Jax sold to Amber Quill by winning their Heat Wave contest, another friend, Babe, sold to By Grace Publishing!

Me? Well, no sale but I did get a request from Berkley for a full on my second book.

  4. That is wonderful, you're on a role with request and I think it's a matter of days before you're discovered. You are super talented and I hope Berkley scoops you up!

  6. Thanks for all the well wishes!

    Laine - they don't take unagented submissions but I think you can still send a query letter. I had the good fortune to get a little help from a friend of mine who writes for them. She sort of recommended me to her editor.

    I will say this - it took almost six months to hear back on that query, even with the recommendation. Prepare to wait if you send one.
