Finally, finally, finally not one but two publishers sat up and took notice of my crit partner Ane the Butcher. She's got a 2 contract deal with Oak Tara. Yee-haw! And just might have another 3 book deal on the hook, but more on that later.
Again, it's about time the publishing industry noticed this stellar little author! Shannon signed with Barbour for a historical Christmas novella. You'll want to buy this one as soon as it comes out!

Thanks so much, Michelle!! It's so like God to take 2 writers who have spent years on the journey and given them their dream on the same weekend. I hollered so loud for Shannon, I was hoarse all afternoon. :)
And congratulations to all the Genesis and Carol Award winners!!!
I'm so happy for both of you, I almost peed my pants!
Ane, I was whooping just as much for you!!! and getting to witness Brandilyn's happy dance in the prayer room was SO awesome. :-D
Thank YOU, Michelle ... you've been not only one of the most stellar crit partners everrrrrr, but one of my best and dearest friends! Love you!!
Congrats to everyone!
Wish I could have been there...maybe next year.
