TGIF! I got a contract offer...



Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I'm happy the weekend is on the way...

I had a wonderful week! On Monday, I received my author copies of Be My Everything. This marks my first solo title going to print. I was a little excited;)

On Tuesday, I celebrated the anniversary of signing my very first publishing contract. It was a nice opportunity for me to look back on all of my accomplishments and reflect on achieving and exceeding my own personal goals.

This morning I woke up to a wonderful review for Crossfire of Love...

Romance Book Scene said...

"Sweet love story, with hot love scenes. Strong female lead offers a good match for the male lead."

You can check out the entire review here.

And last night...

I found a home for Passion's Pain!

I'm pleased to announce I'm joining the Secret Craving Publishing family. My novel Passion's Pain is tentatively scheduled to release with them in September 2012.

You may remember me mentioning this one a few times before. It's my unconventional romance. lol The one where I created a non-traditional triangle. You'll see when you read the blurb...

One woman…two men. Who will she choose? The father or the son?
Lilli Daniels has been down on her luck for quite some time. She's been homeless, hungry and alone for far too long. When an intriguing, older stranger enters the strip club where she's waitressing her life takes on a new direction.  
Successful attorney Jackson Avis maintains complete control of every aspect in his life. When he lays eyes on the beautiful, young Lilli he's captivated and has to have her. He tempts her with a life of privilege and security. He introduces her to a world she never knew existed. Complications arise when Jackson's son and aspiring doctor Cameron expresses an interest in his father's girlfriend.
Lilli fights the attraction, but Cameron wants to give into his heart's desire. He's the complete opposite of his controlling, manipulative father and will stop at nothing to protect the woman he's falling in love with.
Sometimes life leads you down one path only to bring you to your true destiny. Can Lilli come to terms and figure out exactly who her heart belongs to?

***
Passion's Pain is ultimately a love story and of course, I deliver the HEA, but its also a journey of a woman finding her way in life. I identified with Lilli when I wrote this, and I'm hoping other women will too.

The novel is also a homage to all those soaps I used to watch in the late eighties and early nineties. I'll blog more on that topic in the future.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Read...Write...Relax...Spend time alone or with the one you love...

How was your week? I'd love to hear about it...

Ella
