Yes, it's finally happened!!! Today I sold a paranormal erotic romance to The Wild Rose Press and I am so excited I can hardly sit still!
The email arrived this morning (on a Sunday!!) and after I recovered from a mild panic attack I bravely opened it up. To a contract!!! And to My Editor (omg I can hardly believe I have an editor!) saying lovely things about my story!!! She called it 'an interesting blend of smoky eroticism and a dramatic look into the dark world of vampires and witchcraft.' Squeeee!!!!!
Thankfully I managed to flush out the witches so we could all squeee together because it's much more fun that way!!
So now I'm waiting for edits! OMG!

While Amanda was popping bubbles, I was yelling my congratulations excitedly down the phone.
But it's worth saying it again here:
Congratulations, Christina - and I'm sure FOREVER is just the start of life as a PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

Hey Christina! Major congrats! Kudos to you, girl, for your perseverance and talent. You know what they say - "the difference between a published and an unpublished writer is that the unpublished one gave up."
I do think talent makes its own contribution too though! On ya!
