I'm so excited to announce this news. I've just signed a contract with Crimson Romance for I Do. . .or Die, which means that Shelby and all her craziness will be out there for everyone to read in the near future. I love this kooky character so much, and I know she's endeared herself to many of the Six Sentence Sunday commenters, so I'm looking forward to everyone else reading this story.
Here's the blurb, so you can see what it's about:
"Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" is Shelby Atwood's personal credo. She's managed to avoid commitment all her life -- no pets, no plants, not even a long-term lease. Heck, she's had colds last longer than her romantic relationships. How could she be any other way when she has a gigolo for a father?
But then gunfire erupts at the latest wedding she's been talked into, and it ends up being the best thing to happen to Shelby's love life. Detective Ryan Nichols is assigned to the case, and when the shootings don't stop, he becomes her 24-hour bodyguard. Shelby wouldn't mind except Ryan is too appealing, too sexy, and too happy to remind her of the raucous bachelorette party when she mistook him for a stripper.
Shelby's plan is simple: find the shooter, have a fling with Ryan, and return to her non-committal life. Unfortunately, the shooter is very elusive. Shelby's feelings for Ryan are way more than adrenaline-fueled lust. And returning to her normal life is now impossible since, despite her lifelong resistance, she's managed to put her heart smack dab in the line of fire.
Okay, I need to get the celebratory coffee drinks set up, and I've planned a huge virtual dessert banquet for everyone. Thanks for celebrating with me!
Congrats!! You really seem to be on a role with the publishers!!!!

Q, it's so good to see you! That's the down side to my reduced blogging schedule -- I don't get to see you and your lovely comments as often anymore.
And I'm smiling at this becoming a habit. LOL I'll have to keep it going now. :)
