Erin - I know I’ve heard the story before, but it always gives me goosebumps. You never forget the first time your were pregnant, and you never forget your first sale. A wonderful, surreal feeling!!!

I’m a huge fan of everything you write.

Smooches,
Janice Maynard

Kudos, Erin!
Your talent got you where you are today!
You are not only a gifted writer but a great supporter of people like yourself doing what they love to do! We are all better writers having known and learned from you.

Thanks everyone! That day is still so clear in my mind, and wow, so many awesome things have happened in the four years since. I love writing my stories, and friendships like the one I have with Lori have been a bonus I never expected. Not to mention all the readers, especially the bookjunkies and vamps and scamps who have become true friends.

Che, the story was actually Hard Drive in Bad Boys Online. Glad you liked MTM and Lady of the Lake!

Have a great weekend,
Erin

Erin, it IS a fun story, for both of us. And it was such a nice bonus to become your friend as well. :-)
Every story you write is exceptional. I’m glad I was there for that initial nudge, but I don’t have a single doubt that you’d be right where you are now, with or without me.
Happy Friday!

Was that entry The Lady in the Lake? It had me LOL from the first page and I loved it. Also loved Mouth to Mouth- I’m deaf myself.
