This is a bit strange, I know. Here I am on my Tuesday Author Chats where I normally host guest authors. However, I’m excited and want to ask you to help me celebrate the 4th Birthday of the publication of my first book, VERMONT ESCAPE. Those of you who regularly follow me may remember the story of my first sale.
In December 2012, after years of searching for agents & publishers, I sent queries to ten e-publishers as a last-ditch effort to find a home for my book. From those queries, in early February, I received two offers to publish VE, and thus began in earnest my journey to being a published author. Opening and reading the e-mail with the offer was the coolest thing. I jumped up and down and then called my good friend & writing buddy, Jerrie Alexander to tell her, and then I called Bob. I checked with other authors about MuseItUp Publishing before signing with them.
From that experience, I made very good friends. While I’m no longer with MIU, I’ll always appreciate that Lea Schizas believed in me and my writing. I met my wonderful Cover Artist through them. Thanks, Charlotte (Charlie) Volnek for all my wonderful covers.

This book probably wouldn’t have made it to publication without the guidance of talented writing teacher Margie Lawson. Thanks, Margie.
In retrospect, VERMONT ESCAPE came out very fast. It was released on July 19, 2013. That date happens to be the birthday of one of my sons-in-law. So Happy Birthday to Kevin Strawser on Wednesday. My family will spend the evening at the Championship swim meet for our granddaughter Sarah, (Kevin & Laura’s daughter) who turns 6 in September. Pretty sure it will be blistering hot.
