A gift certificate giveaway...

Does free money for books sound good?

I hope so, because I've decided to hold a small contest when my story is released. The prize? A $25 gift card for Borders?

So... as I work on edits, I'll also be working on a website update to announce this and host it. (Yes, I'm a website designer, too.) It'll be announced here on this blog, so stay tuned!

And if you want to make sure you don't miss it, use the links over there on the right to either subscribe to this blog through email or through the preferred reader of your choice.

"When Time Stands Still" is sold!

A short while ago, I learned that an epublisher, Freya's Bower, was thinking about launching a "sweet" line of romance stories. They were looking for writers who were interested in contributing to an anthology to possibly launch this.

(Two quick definitions for those those who might not be familiar with publishing terms.

"Sweet" romance means more traditional romance, where there is either no sleeping together, or if so, it's behind closed doors. My stories all fall under this category.

Epublishers are publishers who primarily offer their books in electronic format. In other words, you read them on e-readers or on your computer, cell phone, and anything else which can display a PDF document. E-books are quickly growing in popularity, sales, and numbers every month.)


Anyway, I decided that it might be fun to take the challenge... and I'm happy to announce that my story was accepted!

"When Time Stands Still" will be part of this anthology titled One Glance, One Touch, which is scheduled to be available as an e-book before the end of the year.

I will post a link when it's released. In the meantime, feel free to read the first two and a half pages, which are on last week's blog post here.

(And thank you to everyone who emailed me, saying that you'd love to read the rest of the story!)
