Shelli Stevens

So the post sale giddies are still lingering. I wake up every morning, smiling. I’m so darn excited for multiple reasons. I’ll be honest about one. I can stop sending out agent and editors queries!! I have an agent–the fantabulous Laura Bradford–who will go to bat for me. I’ve waited so long for this.

And the two book deal! Oh, no wow that’s just too awesome. For one, I think I got hit with the lucky stick. Because even though I only talked to my editor Peter for a few minutes, I like him. And I hear great things. And he liked and bought my book, so that just makes me think he’s all that much more cool! I’m excited and already playing with ideas for the second book in my contract. Which will be another book in the futuristic/sci-fi vein.

Then there’s my friends. *Sniffle Sigh* So many wonderful, sweet, and encouraging people who I’ve been walking with on this crazy, bumpy, isolated road of being a writer. That understand the ups and downs and frustrations of this business. Your emails, comments, replies are so sweet and genuine. And they really touch me and I hope you know how much you all mean to me!

Okay, off the sentimental train for a bit (cause I’m sure you’re all gagging! LOL) Tomorrow my friend and fellow writer Lacy Danes is taking me out to see Corteo and have dinner in celebration of my sale and my late birthday present. I’m really excited for that. I’m sure it’ll be a blast! I’ll be sure to post an update and hopefully some pics!

p.s. People told me I was on Dear Author today! How awesome is that?! Here’s what she said about my Publishers Marketplace announcement….

This sounds like all those 1980s ‘science fiction’ romances crossed with a harem fantasy. I should be disgusted, but who are we kidding? I’d buy this on release day.
