Updates and News!

What an amazing week!!

WHEN YOU’RE READY has officially been out for one week and the response has been incredible!

As my husband and I sat in front of the computer last week patiently waiting for Amazon to publish my debut novel, he asked me if I had any goals in terms of sales.  I told him I honestly just hoped to sell one!

One week later, WHEN YOU’RE READY is in the top 100 list on Amazon for Contemporary Romance!  I keep checking Amazon just to make sure it’s not a mistake and they haven’t changed their mind!

So thank you.  Thank you to everyone who went out and purchased WHEN YOU’RE READY.  Thank you to the readers who stayed up late finishing it in one sitting.  Thank you to the many wonderful fans who sent me such heartfelt notes over the past few days.  A very special thanks to all of the bloggers who have helped me along the way, and who will be helping me in the next two weeks with my blog tour.  You guys totally rock and I really love all of you!

And lastly, a HUGE thank you to my husband…for believing in me.  You are my rock, and I can’t even begin to thank you for everything you do for me every day.

Okay, now that I’m near tears…here are a few updates!!
