Ok guy this is my first official blog as my alter ego the writter, so I'm not sure how to do this right just yet so ignore my learning curve.
Hidden Embers started out as just a project I was doing for fun, it had basically sat filed away on my computer for a couple of years gathering cyber dust. Some of you are probably like me and have a nosey friends. Well mine found it fun to dig around on my computer and she happened upon Hidden Embers in a folder with no name.
Needless to say she read it and liked it. In comes the pressure to submit it to a publisher. I dug through dozens of publishers until I found Whispers Publishing. There was something that caught my attention with them so I submitted my work.
Imagine my shock when I got that first email telling me they wanted to publish my book. You could have knocked me over with a feather. The rush you get from that first email never really fades. Personally I found the edits nail bitting yet awesome fun. The part that worried me was the cover art. After I had finally let it sink in that this was really happening I began to worry that my cover artist wouldn't see my book they way I did. I was wrong, Rhiannon nailed it on the first try. Love at first sight.
I am currently working on my second book in the East Crest series, hoping that it takes fire like the first :)
