WOO-HOO! YIPPPEEE!!! HOOORRAYYYY!!!

Okay, so I'm a bit excited:) I just received another offer for a Silhouette Desire book! This will make #2 for me!

Writing has always been my passion, but to do it as a career is an absolute dream come true. I can't believe I'm doing something so fun, so rewarding, and getting paid for it! I really wish everyone could be this happy with their job.

So, book #2 is the sequel to the first book I sold to Desire and I can't wait to get started on more. I love, love, LOVE that line! When my agent first told me she thought I would make a good fit there, I asked her what Desire books were like. She said, "Think Dynasty". Hey, I loved that show! Blackmail, scandals, money and power...oh, yeah, and the romance:) We can't forget that!

Anyway, I'm happy to say I'll have two books *hopefully* next Spring for my readers. This will be a long, empty year as I get more books under my belt and turned in, but starting in 2010, I'm expecting BIG things from myself:)

I hope you all will stick with me and countdown with me until my debut Desire release:)

Happy Reading!

Spring Is Coming...Is Your Body Ready?

That's the caption I put up on our screen saver at work. No, my co-workers are not amused:) But since we all complain at least once a day (usually at lunch time) about our weight, I thought I'd do a little motivating.

Unfortunately, I'm the only one that has gotten her rear in gear. I rejoined Weight Watchers 8 days ago. After having my second baby last February, I joined and lost 48 lbs. Well, after my best friend got married in June, I got lazy and have slowly gained back 25 of that.

This is unacceptable!

So, I'm back on the wagon and I'm kickin' it in gear (it meaning me:).

Is anyone else gearing up for Spring? If so, how? Are you, too, getting your body back into shape after the winter blahs? Are you just looking forward to getting into your garden? Or are you just more than ready to put winter behind you and move on into the sunshine?

Hugs,
Jules
