This weekend I got the covers for my two upcoming novels. For those of you who've been around here for a few years, you may remember me going through the whole query/agent/publisher nervous breakdown...uh, I mean process. :) Well, Meant To Be, the book that started it all and brought me to this forum, will be released digitally and in print (from Turquoise Morning Press) on August 26 and its sequel, Holding On (aka my NaNo2010, which kept me sane during the query process) will be released November 26. And this is what they'll look like! *happy dance*

Gorgeous covers! Congrats!

Thought I'd pop in for a sec and do a self-pub update. The supersecret pen name is about nine months old with approximately 35,000 copies sold. My income per month hit five figures last month and is doubling this month. For my genre, I have 3 titles currently on the Amazon bestseller list.

Write well, but write fast. Brand your covers. Don't waste time with blogging or tweeting. Get the next title out.

I'm so proud of you!

Although I do miss your blogs. And your Tweets.

Yay, Margo! Although I agree with Sommer: I miss the occasional tweet of evil.

Congrats, Margo

Some day, you must tell us how you did it (OK, line stolen from 1776)
