@Bonnie Dee: Everyone seems to love my cover almost as much as me. But I have to say you're the first to use the word voluptuous to describe it, and I LOVE that word for it. It really is exactly as you describe.

Great story. I do love reading the First Sales stories. Keep them coming Dear Author.

And I think your Kismet cover is gorgeous– rich, exotic and voluptous.

@Jessa Slade: Thanks doll. Jiminy is one of my fav Disney characters. He's one optimistic little guy, something that every writer needs in their corner--Optimism for the rough times.

@Kate Pearce: We've been cheering squad's for each other. I'm delighted for both of us. *grin* And I can't wait for my Sicari heroes to have their day either!

I’ve watched you walk the path to publication for a few years, (walked right alongside you for several of them), so I was delighted when you got your NY dream x 2!
Kismet looks wonderful and I can’t wait for the paranormals :)

@Rebecca: Thank you Rebecca. I've always had pretty amazing luck with covers. I've not hated any of them, although there are some I've definitely loved more than others. But Berkley has been giving me covers 2die4, so I'm very lucky. I hope you will pick up Kismet and that you enjoy the read.

I also love that cover. And what a great first-sale story. Someone recommended that I read “Kismet”, and it’s been on my wishlist for awhile. I think it’s time to buy it. Looking forward to the other series, as well.

Thanks Diana, I love my cover too. Sounds like you got a SUPER nice call from Deidre. *grin*

Carolyn, That key is still bent now. LOL I have to jiggle it to get the cabinet open everyday, but it’s a nice reminder of “the call.” LOL

Thanks for sharing your story! I was getting all tense and nervous about you answering that phone, by the way. Ack! You bent the key in the lock!!!

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Monica! I can’t wait to read Kismet (what a gorgeous cover, btw.)

I had to laugh at the part where Deidre NEVER calls you. That’s the first thing I said to her when she… uh… called me last week. ;-)
