A Winner and Some News

The winner of Jennifer Shirk's Role of A Lifetime is Jody. Congrats! :-)


More News:

Jen is giving away a goody basket full of all writer-essential material (read: office supplies and chocolate). All you have to do is hop on over and leave a comment to be entered.

Anyone heard of RT and Dorchester's American Title contest? Well, once upon I met this sweet and generous writer in an online critique group. For the past year she has been involved in this American Idol-styled contest. I just found out that she won!!!

Congratulations Marie-Claude Bourque! The prize is a contract. Her book, Ancient Whispers, will be coming out February 2010. You can find Marie-Claude hanging out all over the web. She has a grog with some other great writers, a blog, and tons of other stuff.

I hope you all enter Jen's contest and find hope in Marie-Claude's success!

Have a wonderful day. :-)

Jessica, did your kids draw my name out of the hat again?! Their fingers must have magnets toward my name! :) That is too cool!! I've been looking forward to reading Jennifer's book.

Isn't it fun to see someone you've met finally make it to publication? I can't wait to start seeing that happen more and more among our blogging friends! How fun it will be to promote them and share in the excitement!

LOL Jody. No, this time I did the drawing. I thought it was so funny that I got your name.

It is fun seeing a fellow writer/blogger get a contract. It's just amazing to me and so inspiring. You're right about sharing in the excitement. :-)
Very exciting news! Congrats to everyone above!
Jessica, I did enter when Jody posted about it, but thanks for sharing again. That's real encouraging news about your friend. It can be accomplished, can't it?!

Hey, I haven't heard much about your book that's at Steeple Hill for reading. Any news yet? I'm praying for you.

Did you listen to the audio on the Harlequin site with Melissa Endrich talking? I found it very uplifting and encouraging as well. So much so that I'm back to fine-tuning ANB once more and working on good 2-page synopsis to send in, hopefully soon. I think I'm truly, really going to bite the bullet and hear what they have to say themselves about this story.
Oh, how is your little guy? Has the fever broke? I pray!

Hi Eileen,
I'm still waiting. It feels like forever but it's only been two months. LOL I'm so impatient.

Thanks for asking about Nate. His fever broke, but (lol) now Sean has one. Sigh. I'm just thankful no one is throwing up. :-)

I heard about the audio and can't wait to hear what's said! I love getting peaks into the industry and the people involved. I've been waiting for them to put up an interview with the LI editors.

Congrats to Marie-Claude!
Congrats to Jody and Marie. That is very encouraging!
Thanks for the link to my drawing. Today and tomorrow are the last days.
I trust your family gets healthy and stays that way!
Jen
Isn't that always the way, it makes it circuit. I'll keep Sean in my prayers now, too.

Let me know what you think of the pod cast once you get a chance to listen. Melissa talks first, and then the suspense and historical editor.
That is fantastic news! Thank you for sharing, and CONGRATS to Jody!
Hi Jess -

Congratulations, Jody!

I'll have to pop over to your friend's blog. I've never heard of this particular contest.

I entered Jen's drawing also. She's giving away a nice variety of office supplies.

Blessings,
Susan :)

P.S. My new post is up. Duh! I scheduled it for 12:01 P.M. instead of 12:01 A.M. LOL!
