Yay! My first paying gig - XoXo Publishing has added my short story, "The Christmas Fortune," to be published in the eBook anthology entitled, Christmas Warmth, which will be released this November!

P.S. Shouting Out Many Merry Birthday Wishes to my AWESOME sister, NickiD89 Scuba Classes! !*Balloon2**Heart*

Thank you, Michelle! Great to hear from you. How've you been? My story is more for adult readers, although my children enjoyed it, too. *Smile* But this anthology does target adult readers. If I come across any children's Christmas collections looking for stories for 2012, I'll definitely pass them along to you~ Good luck!

Come on, Noelle! You can do this! You've got a great handle on writing. Grab that story by the horns! You know what the cool thing is? sometimes when we step outside our comfort zone, not only do we find we are capable of writing a new genre...but we actually like it.

Adriana, I felt that way when writing my first erotic story, but I blushed a lot when researching porn sites for inspiration and accuracy. When I finished the first "bodice-ripping" story that a friend dared me to write, I discovered this genre was rather liberating. I hope Noelle will find her experience in a new genre as much fun.

Hi, Noelle! I was thinking of you recently and wondered how you are these days! I so appreciate the help and encouragement you were to me a couple of years ago. It still means a lot. :)

Hi Anne! It's so great to hear from you--and you are looking fine in yellow sunshine! *Delight* You are so talented; it's well deserved! Offering you encouragement was my pleasure *Smile* Have you been writing anything new lately? We should catch up--let's chat again soon!

I've been getting into a little Steampunk lately. I'm not very good at it, but it's fun and a good way to stretch my horizons. :) I'm also trying to keep up with the 90 Day Novel group, altho I'm falling behind! Hard to find writing time with all 4 kids home for the summer! :) I've done a few other contests,etc. Stop by my port and see what's new. What are you up to these days?

I find little computer time these days-also because of my kids home from school. Summer is a busy time for us moms! Mostly when I find time, I've been working on a "new adult" novel I started last fall. Steampunk, huh? I just recently read about the genre, but know little about it. I'll be heading over to your port to check it out! I'll have to ck out the novel group, too :)

Oh I've been away from WDC way too long. I didn't even know I had a "Notebook" friends could "scribble" on! *Laugh* OMG I'm still floating on this cloud! Nicki, I think that perma-grin will stay forever, @ least on my face! How exciting to be a part of this anthology with amazing writers like you two, Nicki & Mara! <3 Thanks & congrats also to you both! Yes, Mara, this is going to be an incredible anthology--a very special one for my first published work!!

Is it weird I'm still doing the happy dance over here?? It has been, after all, about six hours since I learned our stories will BOTH be in the Literary Foray, but I can't get this perma-grin off my face. Do you think it's stuck there forever? *Heart*
