So this morning I prepared myself for disappointment and thus my excitement is TEN-fold to announce that First, I Love You made it to the next round of Amazon’s Breakthrough Novel Contest!!!!
Every year Amazon selects Indie novels from 20,000 entrants in the first round to potentially win a final prize of $50,000 AND a publishing contract with their imprint.
They have five genre categories and select 400 of these entrants in each category to advance to the second round:
This is SOOOOO exciting!!!
(Or is that just me?)
Hee.

But, on the bright side, you’ll be getting BOTH Katelyn and Dominic’s perspective in the new short story and the sexytime. I should have had it done ages ago. I could list all the many excuses about Real Life, kids, the horrible pestilence that is the Norovirus, but instead, I hope you’ll just accept my apologies. It should be out this week on Amazon and Smashwords. Then you’ll have to wait the usual forever-like for Apple and the rest to upload it. Here’s a wee teaser:
“This was like discovering your vanilla cupcake had a chocolate fudge center.” — Tommy Gates (First, I Love You)
I’m writing… and editing… and writing… and starting all over… and writing… and so forth. In the mean time: You could read First, I Love You or talk about First, I Love You here, or if you’re ready for some tasty Tommy & Ginny you can start on Second of All. And good news NOOK fans! I’ve been told B&N is just backlogged right now and it should be up soonish. (I know, finally, right?)
Have a fabulous day!
Did you know? You can read some facts about the characters in the Downey-verse that may or may not be revealed in the books at the page to the right called:
More about The Downey Trilogy.
This week (knock wood) I hope to add a few more characters, including ones from the Bird Day Battalion who are tangentially related in that Kyle Anderson (Katelyn’s twin brother) was Tommy’s partner at the Omaha Police Department.
In addition, the wonderful ladies at the Five Star Series group at Goodreads made a whole thread about First, I Love You which is a really huge honor to me and I didn’t even ask them to do it! There (hopefully!!) you can talk about your favorite parts of the book to give their group members an idea of what it’s about. The more people that talk about the book the better. Heck, I’d even welcome complaints. Well… gentle complaints. LOL I just would love to not be talking to myself.
I’ve also requested reviews from some lovely ladies who run lovely fiction reviewing blogs so that means over the course of the next several months I can get some reviews for First, I love You from perfect strangers, which I hope in turn means readership and reviews for Second of All. Well… assuming they don’t just lobster hate it. But nobody has hated it yet. Even the ones not related to me. Har har.
Speaking of which, THANK YOU very, very, very much to those who have taken the time to rate or review any of my books! You are all made of awesomesauce.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
And as always,
‘I wish you enough’.
EDITED TO ADD:
Ok, so I wrote the above post and today I get a random one star (with no review attached) for First, I Love You at Apple. Absolutely no one has given it less than four stars so far, but there is a first time for everything and not everyone likes the same things. So I need to ammend the statement above to say apparently there is someone who lobster hates it. Ha! I’m cool with that.
