True Love

I just sold a short story to True Love magazine! I don’t know what issue it will be in yet, but I’ll post here when I find out. Woot! I’m really excited because a couple of the other True magazines rejected this story and I’d almost shoved it under the bed, never to see the light of day.

Three for Three

Just got a contract in the mail from Dorchester Publishing that they want to buy my story, “Tempted by My Roommate.” The title will probably get changed, but it will appear in the November issue of True Romance magazine. The hero is a stuntman, the heroine, a hair stylist.

I’m very excited. This was my third submission to them and they’ve bought all three. If I sell seven more stories to the Trues, I’ll have made enough to pay for my son’s show choir competition in Hawaii. Woot!

On a Roll

So, I sold another story to Dorchester Publishing.
WOOT! That’s two for two submissions. I’m very excited.

“My Secret Sweetheart” will appear in the October 2010 issue of True Romance magazine. It’s about a teacher and her forbidden romance…

I May Be Addicted

I just submitted “My Secret Sweetheart,” a second story to Gia Portfolio, editor for True Experience magazine and True Romance magazine. I had a lot of fun writing it and if it sells, I’ll make about $200. If I keep this up, I’ll have the money to pay those hefty show choir fees. Woot!

Since I finished my first round of edits on Once Upon A Kiss, I wrote a thousand words for a new “True” story. I’m finding that part of the fun of writing these shorts is that, because you must write in first person, I’m getting to try on all these different voices. “A Gigolo of My Own” was told by an older woman. “My Secret Sweetheart” was about a young , principled schoolteacher. This new story features a cynical young woman who falls in love with a stuntman. I have no idea how it’s going to end other than it being happy. But then, I never do. That’s half the fun, discovering the plot as I go.
