What do you love most about being an author?


Due to unforeseen computer issues, I missed my posting day, but I'm totally going to make up for it today.

There are a lot of things I love about being an author, but one of my favorites is when fellow writing friends get all the kudos they deserve. In this case, it's our own Jenn Echols who deserves all the chocolate today for her RITA final.

Yep, you heard me. GOING TOO FAR, Jenn's beautiful, beautiful book is a Romance Writers of America RITA finalist in the Young Adult category!

CONGRATS, JENN!!

And this is one of the very best things about being an author.

Aw, Barb, this is the sweetest thing ever! And for those of you who don't know, Barb's wonderful novel ADIOS TO MY OLD LIFE won (not finaled in--WON) the Rita in 2007!

How cool is that? See, good things happen to good people. It's karma (and good writing, too!!).
Congrats!
