Great News! And it couldn't have come at a better time. With the world changing before our eyes, and many routines being altered and not necessarily for the better, I received some wonderful news on Thursday.
The Romance Writers of America (RWA) eNotes (a weekly sheet) arrived, and I opened it to check on RWA's procedure regarding the Coronavirus. As I made my way down the newsletter, I noticed a link that is always in the newsletter.

March 16 Romance Bestsellers
Congratulations to the RWA members who hit the New York Times, Publishers
Weekly, and/or USA Today best-seller lists this week! Visit the best-sellers page
to see where these books hit on the lists.
Among the names was MINE!
Sherryl Woods and Shirley Hailstock, Finally a
Bride & His Love Match
The two full-length novels were in a combo package and it made the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller List for the second week in a row.
Could you see me dancing all the way to the Pacific coast? My steps were high and loud.
After that momentous news, I was so nervous it was hard to do anything other than celebrate.
And I did.
The book is a Harlequin title, but it doesn't follow the Heartwarming guidelines. Still, I couldn't keep this inside.
When
times get rough, read a romance. We need something now to keep us sane and to let us know the power within all of us.
As always, keep reading. . .
Oh that’s wonderful, Shirley! I can picture your excitement. Writing is such a challenging craft with often so few rewards. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHow right you are. I remember Christina Dodd saying once that we should celebrate even the smallest accomplishments, because there are so few rewards in this business. She was so right. This one is a biggie though.
DeleteCongratulations, Shirley! Good news is at a premium right now and wonderful to hear.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We need a little joy right now.
