I am very excited to be able to share not only one piece of great news with you, but TWO!  The first one is that my story, Lover's Bargain, has been released by The Wild Rose Press.  You can find more information about it on my Books and Excerpts pages.  This story is one I enjoyed immensely while writing it, and I owe a lot of gratitude to my wonderful editor, Helen Andrews, of The Wild Rose Press for helping to make it shine.  I hope you get a chance to check it out and if so, please drop me a line and let me know what you think!  I love to hear what readers think of my writing.  (Good and bad, of course.  There's always room for improvement!)

And on to my second piece of good news - The Wild Rose Press has accepted my synopsis for another novella length historical to be included in their 2010 release of Lawmen And Outlaws Christimas anthology!!  I am soooo excited!!  The story is titled For Love or Justice and I believe you will enjoy meeting Sawyer McBride and Anita Baker is this tale.  I've got to get it finished, but I'll be keeping you posted and sharing more about it soon!

With blessings always,

Shannon

Well, there hasn't been too much happening lately.  Though I did complete my edits - after some agonizing but fulfilling work - and my release date for Lover's Bargain has been set.  It will be released from The Wild Rose Press in e-format on October 21, 2009!  I was excited to see that it would be out this year.  Very nice.

Other than that, not much else has been going on in my writing world.  Family and day-job have been consuming an extravagent amount of my time that I haven't been able to write a single word of my next story.  I have been brainstorming though and completing character charts, so it has a start and I know what direction I want to travel in with the story.  Shhh....but just to let you in a bit....it's a sequal to Lover's Bargain. 

I'm hoping to carve out some time once I get two very large projects that the day-job demands I complete banged out.  Perhaps I'll be able to take a couple of days off this summer and have "me" days down at the beach with my computer.  That'd be nice.

I hope that everyone is enjoying their summers - and better yet, perhaps picking up one of my stories to relax with on the beach!    'Till later!

I'm thrilled to be able to announce to you all that today is the release day for my short historical romance, Lady's Choice, at Aspen Mountain Press!

Please join Lady Ayerlene and Lord Severin in a holiday tale of independence, sensuality, and the chance for love in the most unexpected circumstances.  Read more here on my website or visit my blog post at The Author's Studio to learn more about the characters and story!

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!  I'd love to hear any comments you have on the story, so please share!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Shannon

Hi everyone!!  I'm so happy to announce that I received the cover for Lady's Choice!  Check out my Coming Soon page and you'll be able to see it.  It's soooo beautiful!  Aspen Mountain Press did a fantastic job with it and I couldn't be happier!

I just finished up with the first set of edits.  If everything goes well, I'm hoping the story will be out before Christmas.  I'll keep you posted!

Happy Reading and Happy Holidays!!

Shannon

I am very excited to share today's wonderful news with you all!  About a month ago, I submitted my short story, Lady's Choice, to Aspen Mountain Press for consideration in their Winter Holiday anthology for this year. 

I received an email today with an offer and contract from Aspen for the story!!  YEA!!

I'm so happy that this story was accepted.  I really enjoyed writing this story and hope that you all enjoy reading it - if you choose to, of course.    It's a sweet medieval Christmas story and I'm hoping will find its way into readers' hearts.

You can read a short excerpt of the story in my Works in Progress page. 

Join me in a toast of celebration and a happy dance!

Hi everyone!

I decided that instead of trying to keep up with 3 blogs, I'll do one here on my website and then continue contributing to the Author's Studio blog.  This one will be all about me, my writing, and what's going on in Shannon's world.  Stop by the Author's Studio blog for wonderful information on the craft of writing.  We discuss many different topics to assist the writer in their journey!

My latest writing news is that my short story, Fired or Fired Up, is now availble for purchase!  It's included in the GOIN' Down Anthology, Book 1, released by Aspen Mountain Press and you can get it here.

I'm extremely excited about this - it's my first publication!!  If anyone happens to check it out, please let me know what you think about my story.  I love hearing readers' comments!

Talk to you soon!
