Good Writing Weekend

Not that I got a lot of writing done (but I did sew and clean a lot), but I got some good writing news.

First, Don’t Look Back is an Epic Award Finalist in the romantic suspense category. I wasn’t contacted, but saw the thread on my Carina Press digest. I thought I hadn’t finalled as I scrolled down the list and passed historical (no Sunrise) and contemp (no Road Signs). And then, under Romantic Suspense, there it was! Woot! I think I’ve made maybe $100 on that book, but it does really well in reviews and contests.

Second, A Ghostly Charm is Book of the Week at Long and Short Reviews! I’ve never seen only 3 books up for Book of the Week, and the other two books were by big-name authors. So, cool! I get a book trailer!

Also, I found out Friday that Something to Talk About is going to print. I emailed my editor to see if it would so I could enter the Rita. A few hours later, I got an email saying, “You bet!” and then got galleys to proof. I had to do that twice this weekend. So it will be in print November 1.

I did get a two-star review for my October book, so that was less good.

Also, a shout-out to Mary Curry who is a Genesis winner!

What good happened to you this weekend?
