Today I'm reminiscing with a Throwback Thursday.When I received my first publishing contract back in January 2011, I was over-the-moon. That day was a big moment for me as a writer, as I finally got my writing 'seen' as good enough to be published. The book was titled, Keeping Secrets, and was published by Secret Cravings Publishing. Keeping Secrets hit the eBook shelves in August 2011. Holding my first published paperback in my hands was the best feeling ever. Unfortunately, due to a family issue, Secret Cravings had to close their doors a few years later.
But that first publication was the start of something big. My next manuscript, One Sweet Christmas, was contracted by Escape Publishing in 2014, a digital imprint of Harlequin Australia, and they contracted another manuscript soon afterward.
Keeping Secrets didn't stay cold long. I edited the story and retitled it, Twist of Faith, and it was contracted by The Wild Rose Press, a New York publishing company in 2014.
I have a special place in my heart for that first book and not just because it was my first published manuscript. The story is one of my favorites as it takes place in Paris and Montreal. I now hold the rights to Twist of Faith and would like it to be republished on it's fifteenth birthday in August. Fingers crossed!
