EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!

[agt_spooky]

I've been waiting to announce this for awhile now, and everything's finally fallen into place, so here it is - I'm going to be a published author!

Aphrodite's Apples is an ebook publisher who is going to be launching a line of gay romances on Valentine's Day, and I was one of just a few authors selected to kick off this new line of male/male books. Squee!

I'm excited beyond belief about this. I actually had not one, but two books accepted by Aphrodite's Apples.

The first, which will be available on February 14th, is called Burnin' for You and the second book is called Darkness Falls, and will be available in March.

Both books are converted fanfic stories of mine that I changed into original fic. So if you're not into RPS or maybe wincest but still enjoy slash stories, feel free to follow along with my professional career instead.

I've set up an LJ for my professional alter ego, Jamie Lynn Miller, at jamie_lynn_m

Over there is a welcome post with my bio and blurbs and excerpt from both books, along with the cover art (which I designed myself *g*)

I have to thank my friend, storm_grant (who is also a published author), for putting the bug in my ear and giving me the push to get into the professional side of writing.

This is an exciting new step for me, so wish me luck, guys! :-)

That is so exciting! Congratulations! That's amazing! Were they both formerly SPN stories? Did you get to pick your pen name? Is there a story behind it?

Thanks so much, Deborah! Not bad for a fanfic writer to turn her stories into something that are good enough to be published, eh? :-)

That is so awesome - congratulations! Look what fandom has made possible - and of course your talent and dedication and discipline and networking. Those things helped too. ;)

Re: woo hoo!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks so much! Yes, absolutely - without fandom I never would've been writing stories and turning them around and getting them published. Go, fandom!!

and of course your talent and dedication and discipline and networking. Those things helped too. ;)

LOL! It's good to be well-rounded. :-)
