Hmmmm, I’ll be boring and say my wedding day. Will never forget it. Though, assuming I get THE CALL, I’m pretty certain that will come a close second

Hi Michelle!

I thought I’d pick something special that wasn’t an obvious – you know getting married, having kids… :coffee: One moment I treasure in my heart was just before my sister died. She was practicing on the piano and I walked by – stopped and gave her a big bear hug. I didn’t grow up in a demonstrative family, so this was highly unusual. I still remember her surprise and how she squeezed me back. I hope I never forget that moment.

Hmmm…well at the end of November it will be seven years since I started writing. That moment when I just put fingers to keyboard and decided to go for it stands out more in retrospect, but it was definitely a defining moment. :banana:

Still doing a happy dance for you, Michelle :shimmy:

:woot:What a great idea, Michelle, a weeek long first sale fest!

It must be hard researching all those hunky actors for just the right one to send in for your cover.:thumbsup:

Huge congrats Michelle. I dearly love historicals and love to read new to me authors so I’ll be watching out for your book!

Poor hubby, maybe have him pose anyways for the fun of it. :dancingfool: That will make some memories for your first release

Michelle –

Don’t worry about the cover. If the recent covers for M&B H are anything to go by, they will do justice to your book.

I have been very impressed with the covers recently, so I am sure yours will no exception.

And I am pleased your weekend is so wonderful!!!

Congratulations, Michelle! Enjoy every minute of nerves and euphoria. The editing and cover art and author alteration process will seem like it’s taking forever right now, but the moment is really right around the corner when you’ll hold that first book in your hands. It’s never to early to picture yourself accepting that RITA for Best First Book either!
