An amazing number of things have happened to me professionally in the last two weeks things that have reinforced my decision to switch genres and start writing the stuff I always wanted to write. I am deeply grateful for all of these wonderful opportunities, and I want to thank each and every one of you who read my work because you’re the reason why so many good things are happening right now. You people rock.

1. May 8th I signed a contract with Me and the Muse Publishing to have Trickster translated and published in German.
2. May 15th held three important career milestones for me:1) For the first time in my writing career I cracked the five figure mark in writing income.

   2) I cracked the five figure mark for yearly writing income.

   3) I made five figures (oh, screw it — $10,000) on one title. And yes, it was Empress of Storms.

3. May 16th I signed a contract with Juno Publishing to have Empress of Storms translated and published in French.
4. May 18th I signed a contract with photographer Javier Cortina to use a photograph of Colby Keller from Javier’s The Legend of St. George photo shoot as the cover for my fantasy historical M/M romance The Chevalier, coming out in August.

On the verge of turning 50, I feel like my life and career are truly on track, and I’m very excited to see what the next few years bring.
