Published!

I have been a horrible blogger lately. I have been so wrapped up in kid events, writing, editing, and running errands that I haven't been keeping my blog updated. I have poor time management skills! 

One of the reasons I wanted to stop by and share today is because one month ago today, my first story was accepted for publication by Less Than Three Press. I am so over the moon excited!! I have wanted to be a published author since I was in high school journalism class. 

The night I got my acceptance letter, I screamed, danced around the house, woke up all my children, and called/texted many friends. My mom was so excited she told the other teachers at school. Two of them asked if I would come and talk to their classrooms. 



I am so proud to soon represent Less Than Three Press. After getting to know Sam and Megan Derr, I couldn't have asked for a better publishing company. I have amazing press family! 

My story, Substitute Heart will be released on December 26,2012. I can't like a baby writing this piece. I fell hard in love with Travis, Lane, and Oliver. When I started writing, I didn't plan for this story to end up the way it did, but I couldn't have been more pleased. This piece is really special to me. It's the first work I ever submitted. 

Here is the blurb for Substitute Heart!! I hope you all enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

Three years have passed since Travis buried his husband, but he is unable to let go and move on. Even the support of his late husband's fellow Marines cannot motivate him to live again. His apathy for life reaches a breaking point when he is fired days before Christmas, and an unexpected visitor shows Travis that he has one last chance for a happy future, else he is doomed to one far bleaker …
