![]() ![]() That was 2007 and since then, I’ve been accepted by several other publishers including Loose-Id and more recently by Samhain. ![]() The big plus for me was that some of my publishers also bring books out in paperback. The acceptance went into my spam – good thing I check it. ![]() I tweaked it, sent it to Ellora’s Cave and it was accepted. I wrote an erotic romance, sent Perfect Timing to two smaller e-publishers who said no. I decided I had a better chance of success if I went with digital books and I followed Amanda’s example. One of my critique partners, Amanda Young, wrote an erotic romance that I read and loved, my first experience of erotic romance, and she had it accepted by an e-publisher. I wanted a paperback with my name on it! I wanted to go into a bookstore and find it on a shelf. This was in the very early days of digital books. I joined Critique Circle where writers share their experiences and critique each others work and the site helped me but I still couldn’t convince an agent to take me on, nor a publishing company. ![]() I wrote a couple more thrillers, realized I was adding more and more romance and finally wrote my first proper romance. I spent years writing my first novel – set in New York and about the mafia – and collected a series of rejections. ![]()
