What I'm thankful this year? Getting my contract for A Hint Of Seduction :-)

First of al let me say that I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I did, ate way too much stuff though, including my famous fudge filled cookie bars :-). But it was fun to get together with all my family.
We did our yearly secret santa and both my brother-in-law and I were the last to go. We got our own names and ended up trading so I guess it isn't that much of a secret. Oh & I sorta accidently found out one of the things my hubby is getting me for Christmas. I was jokingly sending hints to my brother-in-law that I would love to get Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on DVD for Christmas when my hubby started sneding me dirty looks. "What? I asked. He grumbled that I shouldn't hint about gifts that someone else has already bought for me. OOPS, LOL :-).

Okay, here's my big news for the night.
I got my contract forA Hint Of Seduction :-). Yippee !! What an excellent Thanksgiving surprise. The story should be comming out in the January or February Issue. Gina said that she would love to use in their special Feb. anniversary issue but she thinks she might have promised it to another author already. I have a special fun contest in mind for when my story comes out so stay tuned for that.

Little bit disappointed with my WORD and NANOWRIMO progress over the past few days. Was goign for fourteen pages over the past two days but instead only got ten done. But that's only four shy so I'll have to work extra hard to make it up over the weekend. Would love to finish TFB off before the holidays so I can take a break. Well hope everyone had a great Thanksgivng. Going to bed now so I can rise bright and early tomorrow and do some x-mas shopping. Take care everyone :-).
