Always A Rose

Welcome again to Amber's temporarily inflated ego!

I got an email Saturday evening from an editor at The Wild Rose Press. They offered a contract for sultry, sinister suspense, Denied Origin! Whoa...Hm...I think I just made my promo tag for this one! I LOVE happy accidents!!! Anyway, back to the news, I was at someone else's house so the dh and I couldn't do the insane and embarrassing happy dance, but you can be sure there's been a strut in my step for a week now!

Even more wonderful news: I already have an editor and the editiing process begins as soon as I send the contract to NY headquarters (that sounds so important!!!) and get it signed by the powers that be in this lovely garden!

So whilst I continue to do the insane and embarassing happy dance in the safety of my own home and hum "Kiss from a Rose" over and over, please enjoy these befitting celebratory quotes courtesy of BellaOnline:

tune."
