I really knew nothing, didn't belong to any writers groups, didn't know any other writers, lived in the middle of nowhere, and wrote a book.

Was it a single title?<BR/><BR/>And since I've been trying to break into romantic suspense, I've been getting a lot of they already have their line of RS authors, basically big names and I wouldn't stand out next them.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing! =)Kelly (Lynn) Parrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827605655761900263noreply@blogger.com
