USA Today Debut!

Hello my friends!

I’m delighted to announce that today, I appeared on the USA Today Best-selling Books list with my very first romance novel, THREE RIVER RANCH.

This might not mean much to most people, and no doubt I’ll be back to normal…(insert sound of a needle ripping across vinyl)

NEVER! This is a watershed moment in my career, something I’ve been striving for since I began writing! I seriously can’t breathe, I’m so excited, people! I’m going to be kicked off the internet soon for excessive use of caps and exclamation points. BUT I DON’T CARE!!

As some of you know, I’ve been working super hard this winter, but I had no real thought of hitting a list until this week and even then, I was afraid to hope. All authors dream of being able to include the words Best-Selling Author with their names and the USA Today list is one of the most coveted.

A good book is an author’s triumph but a bestselling author is a publisher’s triumph.

I don’t know where I heard it, but it’s true. In today’s market, getting our work seen by potential readers is our single biggest hurdle – after writing the books in the first place, that is. I’m forever grateful to my publishers for the support and enthusiasm they’ve shown my work.

Entangled Publishing launched the THREE RIVER RANCH series in August of 2012 and it’s their muscle that’s brought my work in front of enough readers to make this list. Tule Publishing released my THIS OLD HOUSE novella series between September 2014 and April 2015 – which has been a little brutal on all of us – but those stories have also been warmly welcomed by readers, further increasing my reach.

But the bottom line is that you, my readers, have put me onto this list.

So let me say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, THANK YOU for reading my stories.

Thank you. <sniff>
