I am so happy. They killed that sh*thead al-Zarqawi. I’m a big news person, and I’ve had to watch him cut off hostage’s head’s for the past couple of years. And I’ve hated the guy, he makes me sick. And so though I don’t usually wish death upon someone, the bastard freaking deserved it. *Stands and Applauds* Okay, off the dead terrorist topics!
I am SO impressed. Cobblestone is impressing so many people, and the submissions are coming in. Today, we just contracted Charlene Sands who also writes for Harlequin Temptation, and has previously sold to Kensington. We already have an Kensington A author on board. Several of us have careers that are about to take off and hopefully thrust us into Kensington and Ellora’s Cave. But I still think Cobblestone Press is a force to be reckoned with. I haven’t yet subbed to Kensington, but I do have one with EC. Oooh! I had a book under consideration with a certain publisher and I pulled it today. And I’m so glad I did. I won’t go into details. :)
So I’m still working on the Witch book. Getting a little more done everyday. It’s kind of fun. I love my hero. Mmm. Oooh! I updated my website and put an excerpt of Silk Hauntings on my bookshelf page. You should check it out and tell me what you think! I’m so impressed with how much website code and stuff I’m learning. Actually, it’s a lot of copying and pasting, but I GET IT! Lol.
I also learned over the past week a lot more of my local chapter members bought my book than I thought. So I’m feeling a lot better about it now. They’re trying to convince me to be President next year… the scary thing? I may do it…
Wow! that is great news about CP. Can’t wait to get my Novella done so I can sub.
About al-Zarqawi–I’m totally with you there. Usually, I’m a news person too, but lately I’ve felt overloaded by a lot of stuff, so I haven’t taken the time. I only knew about Zarqawi because MSN had it up on their homepage.
Cobblestone has done a great job!!
I’m so glad your local chapter DID support you. President? Mmmmm. You go girl.
LOVE the new “About Me” pic.
Cobblestone IS impressive. ;-)
Good luck with your other subs!
I’m off to read the Silk Hauntings excerpts! Thanks!
Paz (who also likes you newest photo)
Actually, I was new to the epubbing scene this year, and was stunned to realize CP wasn’t open yet. I mean… they just seemed so slick and polished already.
Congratulations to you. THREE books out. I’d be dancing! (of course, it would look like my kid’s gottapotty dance, which is why I won’t do it in public)
I’m off to read excerpts at your website. I already have Tourist Attraction on my ‘bday wish list’.
Can I tell you how much fun it was to meet you last week!
Congrats on the contract for Silk Hauntings. You rock chica! And it sounds like you’ve been busy!
Congrats! You’ll be a superstar soon!
Isn’t CP wonderful? I’m reluctant to even submit anywhere else lol. We’re spoiled, I tell ya lol! ;) The witch books are going to be so cool!
It’s so great to see the wonderful reception CP is already getting, and how excited the authors are about it. So cool…
I like your new pic too - like your necklace! lol
You’re on a roll! I think Cobblestone is going to be great too. And, even better, you’re already in with them :)
I’m not going to moo at you. I promise. Thanks for visiting us. Very nice blog and your cover is great.
I know, I know. I’m not living up to my bitchy reputation.
Hope you visit and comment.
Wonder what we Sassers could do in place of mooooing at you?
Suggestions welcome…..and will probably be ignored.
Congrats on all your success, Shelli. You deserve it!
Ah thanks guys for the compliments on my new pic. Hee hee.
Hey Biblio Bitch you’re being way too sweet! But I’m excited to see you visited me… and yet, I have to wonder, do I know you under the alias? Hee hee!
I know, the list of authors writing for cobblestone is impressive. This is gonna be an epub that I think will soon gain credibility like elloras did. But then again, I’m completely 100% biased. ;)
Do you know me? I’ll never tell.
Thanks Shelli. You’ve just help me make a decison that I thought I’d take forever to make. I’d heard nothing but positive things about Cobblestone Press. And all the books I’ve read by their authors have been absolutely incredible. Thanks again Shelli. And I am so happy for you, keep on keeping on. You deserve every sucess that keeps coming your way!
