On October 31st, our collection Christmas at Mistletoe
Lodge hit #88 on the USA Today Best Selling Author List!
How does that make me feel? Incredible, marvelous, unbelievable. I never dreamed I’d one day be saying; I’m a USA Today Best Selling Author. I’m still floating. I didn’t do it by myself. There were nine other fabulous authors involved in this process. But it was very different from past collaborations. How? There was ten times the exposure because - we all promoted. We all wrote new stories. We asked questions and offered our advice. We told everyone what we were doing. We worked as a team! And what a difference that makes.

On August 24th, Christmas at Mistletoe Lodge became an
Amazon Best Seller and has remained one ever since. I’m honored to be one of
the authors of this collection. If you’re interested in picking up a copy, don’t
wait. Right now the price is .99, but next week the price will go up to $2.99.
On another note, I attended the Emerald City Writers’ Conference
and enjoyed every minute of the event. I entered the blurb writing contest and
had the privilege of being one of the three published finalists. The agents and
editors judged the finalist’s blurbs, and the winner was announced at the conference.
I was ecstatic when Salvaging Truth was named the winner.
~Salvaging Truth~
The world could be
transformed if Riley can only stay alive long enough.
Most
parents leave you a house, a car, or money when they die. Riley’s mom left her
a treasure hunt with a mysterious payoff. Now everyone seems to want a piece of
Riley and her inheritance: the university, the military, mega corporations, and
Russian spies.
Riley
needs help to solve her mother’s murder, and Dagger Easton’s salvage and
investigation company comes to her rescue. Retired SEAL, private eye, and
leader of a diving and salvage team, Dagger promises to protect Riley with his
life. But as the value of her mother’s research becomes clear, Riley begins to
believe there’s no one she can trust—not with her life, her heart, or her
mother’s legacy.

It’s been a hectic couple of months, and I’m happy to be
settling back in and plotting out my next story. When it comes down to it, isn’t
that what it’s all about.
Until next month,
Joanne
