One year ago today…

….I sold my first book. At 10:00 in the morning on Friday, September 15th, 2006, I received The Call from my editor, saying they wanted to buy Her Irish Warrior.

Happy Anniversary to me!

It’s amazing to look back and marvel at how much has changed.

Since that day, I’ve sold four more books to Harlequin. I’ve seen two of them on the shelves, and it never fails to amaze me. I don’t think it will ever lose the excitement. I’m so grateful to my editor for taking a chance on me and for helping me to learn so much during this first year. I’m also very appreciative to have a supportive agent who has held my hand through the foreign language of contracts.

I’ve met some wonderful friends, my family has been 100% supportive, and I’ve seen my greatest dream become a reality.

So, to celebrate my anniversary, I’d like to do a $10.00 Amazon gift card giveaway. Just tell me: what’s your dream? Did you achieve it? The winner will be announced on Monday, so you have all weekend to share!

**Update: I forgot to mention that I will be at a booksigning today in Williamsburg. It’s from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the William and Mary College Bookstore. Hope to see some of you there!**
