CELEBRATING!
The best thing about writers? In my opinion, it's the way we celebrate our friends' successes. No matter what we write or how much or for how long, we're all sisters--(okay and a few hearty brothers)--in the trenches.
So when something FABULOUS happens to one of us, we all feel the pride and excitement! Which is what brings me to my subject today.
One of my best friends, Kate Carlisle, had the amazing experience of seeing her FIRST book released two weeks ago. She'd worked and worked for years to reach publication and seeing that beautiful cover on the shelf was her richly deserved reward.
But it gets better! Because Kate's book, HOMICIDE IN HARDCOVER, in its second week on the shelf, hit the New York Times Bestseller list!! So rush on out and buy your copy of the first book in a fabulous new series!!
Kate's writing friends couldn't be prouder--or happier--or more excited!
Yay, Kate!

Awww, Maureen!! I love you, my friend!
And let's face it, if it weren't for the expert plotting of my brilliant plot group (including YOU), I never would've made it so far!!

Love you back! And come on, great plotting is fine, but you gotta be able to write the pages and let 'em sing!!

So true Maureen! It's been a while since I've had as much fun as this last month celebrating Kate's first book, then her incredible (and richly deserved) success of hitting the NYT!!!
Kate, I know Maureen and your plot group helped you, I know you coudln't have done it without them, but in the end, it was you at the keyboard each day, working your butt off to make that book as fabulous as it is!

Saw it last night in BN in Melbourne Florida...very prominently placed near the check out...top shelf...eye level.
I cannot WAIT to read this book!
I am jealous of the plot group. If you'll ever allow an observer... :)

LOL, Cyndi!! Observing our plot group would soooo be less than thrilling!
Kate's book is great! Seriously. AND, it just made the NYT for the SECOND WEEK!!!

Thought I'd sneak back in here and see what's going on...
Hi Jen! Thanks, you sweet thing you! This whole month has been wild, hasn't it? And seriously, plot group saves my life every time. I owe them free drinks for life!!
Hi Cyndi! Wow, cool placement at the B&N! Thanks for reporting! :-)
The B&N's have been really great with ordering lots of books and putting them out on the new arrivals shelves. I love that!
And I still can't believe I made it another week on the NYT! Woo hoo!!
