So in case you missed my recent glee, I was finally able to announce my very first sale to Sue Grimshaw at Ballantine Bantam Dell for the relaunch of the Loveswept line.
From the press release:
(June 21, 2011)— The Random House Publishing Group, part of Random House Inc., announced today that it is reviving its former Bantam Books-originated Loveswept imprint, a groundbreaking romance publishing line of the eighties and nineties, which helped launch the careers of such bestselling authors as Sandra Brown, Suzanne Brockmann, Janet Evanovich, Tami Hoag, Iris Johansen, and Kay Hooper. The 2011 Loveswept publishing program will be a digital-exclusive imprint, comprised of original, newly written e-books, as well as beloved Ballantine Bantam Dell romances and classic Loveswept titles. The program launches with eight titles in August, and continues with one new e-only release monthly in the fall.
So not only did I sell, but somehow, they seem to think that Shane and Jen, the characters in my first book Because of You are the perfect couple to launch the new imprint. No pressure or anything, right? I mean, hell’s bells, talk about the honor of a lifetime!
So Shane and Jen have been with me for a while. I’m kind of thrilled at the opportunity to tell their story. I’m at the airport getting ready to head back to Dallas, so I’ll just leave you with the cover for now. And if you want to know more, head over to my website for the blurb!
