That's right, me!
I just signed a contract for my book Torn Away with The Wild Rose Press.
I had originally self published Torn Away since I had a decent amount of success with a book called Just Breathe through self publishing, but Torn Away just wasn't selling much. (Cassandra actually bought a copy recently.)
It also won the Great Beginnings Award from the Saratoga RWA. I got to meet one of the Editors recently and pitched it to her. I was afraid she wouldn't go for it as it was a self published, but she said they'd consider it if there were sequels in the works. Plus I had to take it down for sale.
I did so the other day, and this morning I sent them back the contract. I have to wait on the okay before I make an official announcement, but I thought this was safe. And I had to share.
The Wild Rose Press won the Predators and Editors Best Print/Electronic book publisher in 2016 and I believe they've won it several times.
I've been published without being self pubbed before, but it never worked out in the long run. I'm hoping this is different.
Wish me luck!

Well, given that Rob came up with the titles, that's probably exactly what happens. That's just the kind of thing he'd do.
