Now That It's in the Mail!!!

I can share my news!!!

Yes, I have signed a contract with Baker Revell. I am still stunned. I was stunned with every page of the contract I initialed and signed. It's just too amazing and wonderful and just plain special.


Bride of the Mist is a story that's been in my head for a long time, Seeds began to germinate the semester of my graduate work in women's history at Virginia Tech, when my research project focused on midwives in Early Modern America and Europe. It took a while to come to fruition as a full-blown story idea, but finally it was all there in my head. I wrote a proposal of synopsis and three chapters, and outlined the rest of the scenes, then my agent sent it out. Three weeks later, an editor at Revell told my agent she was taking it to committee. They made me an offer.

I'm overwhelmed with the Lord's goodness and abundance at this time of transition in our lives, when we are leaving the familiar for the unknown.

This is my seventh contract to sign since December of 2008. I am overwhelmed--in a good way.
