Such a Tease

If you've seen me smiling a little brighter recently it's because....I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR.

Whew.

Been waiting to get that out of my system for awhile. 

I'm so excited to be a part of the HarperImpulse team. For those of you who don't know, they are part of the HarperCollins family and publish fabulous romantic fiction. I signed with them over the summer and have been BURSTING to tell all of you. 

Oh? You didn't know I wrote a book? Actually, there are three. I know, I know....show off. I wrote them more as a challenge to myself to see if I could do it. My inspiration came from a 2006 trip to Glasgow. Anyone who knows me well knows how much I heart anything British. So yeah, the trilogy takes place in the UK and here in the States.

I've never written anything professionally before, aside from TV news stories and radio copy, so this is as exciting as it gets.

It's so surreal to say that "my debut novel" will be released soon. You'll all get to meet the characters that have been so near and dear to me since they invaded my head in the spring of 2011. They're a vocal bunch, trust me.

In any case, the first chapter of my book is included in HarperImpulse's free sampler for New Year's. You can meet my characters along with others from eight of my fellow authors. 

I keep having to pinch myself. Can't wait until I can share the cover and release date for my debut novel....... =)
