2012 in review, and 2013 plans.

I posted this to Facebook a few hours ago:

“Hello, is this 2013? Yes, I’m happy to say that we’ve had an opening, and we’re going to be offering you a contract, if you’re available to start immediately. Oh, good. Thank you, and welcome aboard.

“What? Oh, the previous contractor? Well, I shouldn’t say this, but he had to be let go. Perhaps… fired with extreme prejudice is a better way of putting it.

“I’m sure we won’t have the same issues with YOU!”

In a nutshell? 2012 sucked rocks on a personal level. Professionally, though? Not bad!

Sold:

• To Market to Forbidden Fiction  (reprint)
• O, Promise Me!  to Circlet Press  (THIS is the one I’m most proud of selling!)
• Kidnapped by Pirates to Forbidden Fiction
• Fools Rush In to Forbidden Fiction (reprint)

Still under consideration:

• Sapphires and Gold to Circlet Press
• Heart’s Master to Circlet Press
• Holy Palmer’s Kiss to Forbidden Fiction

Can’t sell, but FUN to write (aka fanfiction)

• On His Brother in Law’s Secret Service.

I had rejections, too. It wouldn’t be publishing if I didn’t!

Now. Plans for 2013!
