Happy 1st Anniversary Musa Publishing!

Wow! So much can happen in one year. It certainly has for me, and I know it has for Musa Publishing, as well.  Exactly one year ago Musa opened their doors. About six weeks prior, I started hearing about this new publisher that had signed the amazing bestselling authors Sharon DeVita and Cindi Myers. I went to their website, read their publishing story, submission guidelines and sample contract and decided to submit too.

Within two weeks, I was a Musa author. My first book with them (Mr. Forever) didn't come out until December, but I was a part of the company almost an entire month before the launch. Not only did I witness the excitement firsthand. The directors and other authors made me a part of it because at Musa we really are one big family.

While waiting for my first book to come out for Musa, I sold my first book ever on proposal to them (The Wiccan Haus: A Man Worth Fighting For). When I signed that contract, I knew my publishing dreams had come true, and I was a professional working author.

Throughout the spring and summer, I wrote two short stories for Musa, sold another Wiccan Haus book on proposal and signed with two other publishers. I'm living my dream, and I have the fabulous directors at  Musa Publishing (Celina, Kelly, Kerry and Dominique) to thank for it!

I will be giving away one of my Musa backlist titles ( Mr. Forever or The Wiccan Haus: A Man Worth Fighting For) or upcoming titles (Zane's Art, The Wiccan Haus: Psychic Lies, or Wyatt's Guilt) to two random people who leave comments. Visit Musa Publishing or the books heading on my blog to read a blurb about each story.  Thank you for allowing me to share my story.  Every time you comment on each blog, you are entered to win the grand blog hop prize of a Kindle Fire!!!!!!!!
