There is some news I haven’t posted about. I learned last week that I was a finalist for the Harlequin’s Nocturne Bites Pitch Contest. As a finalist on Tuesday I got to pitch a short story to Associate Senior Editor Ann Leslie Tuttle. The experience was great and I walked away with another submission. The story was fun to write and a great diversion from my current two projects. BITTEN BY DECEIT has gone out into the world. I hope it fares well. Congrats to the other finalists as well. I hope your submission is bought! =)
I’m proud to say I can reduce the number for one of my 2010 goals. Yay!
- I will write 4 manuscripts in 2010.
- I will sell my first manuscript in 2010. (Optimism = Yay)
- I will NOW complete 2 novellas. (1 DONE YAY!)
I have a bunch of catch up reading to do this week for critique partners as well as the next installment of my Excerpt Monday and my two projects need to be worked on. To make things worse another idea for a bite popped into my head. *sigh* The fun never ends.
For those that are interested in the line I have compiled some links:

You know I'm proud of you and, damn, that sequence was hot, hot, hot.
You crack me up. But yeah, it was fun to write.
