Announcing a First Sale!

This is turning into Noodler week here at The Writer Side of Life, and what fun it is to announce that Mary Fechter (w/a MJ Fredrick) has made her first sale to The Wild Rose Press.

Her working title is Where There's Smoke—if that changes, we’ll be sure to let you know! I am over-the-moon excited for her and can’t wait to read this book. The Wild Rose Press does awesome covers. Be sure to check out their website and you’ll see what I mean.

Mary is a four-time Golden Heart finalist, and she has also finalled in the Emily and the Maggies. She’s an awesome writer and this sale has been a long time in the making.

Congratulations, Mary!

Back tomorrow with more TV blogging.

Where there's smoke – I love the title!
Congrats, Mary, and may there be many more sales and great titles coming up!

Lee, I love how you keep us posted about all these exciting events in the writing world (not to mention the TV world!).

With the Golden Heart deadline coming up in a month, I hope these snippets of news inspire people to think seriously about entering. It worked for me!
