I've only been able to lurk and drop in for quick glances lately, myself, Cyn--I'm glad one of my quick glances was into this thread to read about your good news. I love your blurb. Felicitations!

Thank you so much, everyone.

I have to say that in my real life, it's like, "You sold a book. So what?"

So it's really nice to be able to celebrate with you!  :grouphug2:

Terrific news! I'm always inspired to hear others' stories. It gives me hope when the waiting becomes long and painful.

Congratulations, Cynthia! Not just for getting this next book published (which sounds amazing), but for following your heart and learning to block out all the noise and negative thoughts that get in the way of writing the stories we need to write. I enjoyed reading your post in the other section about not quitting, and thanks for sharing your honest thoughts in your blog--it's tough for those of us who just want to see our books in print, but it sounds like it doesn't get easier once you're on the other side!
