2012 Recap

Before I think about my goals for 2013, I want to take a minute to recap the positive things about 2012. (No need to relive the negative, right?) First, let me say that at the end of 2011, I didn't think 2012 would ever top it. 2011 was the year I found my agent, my first picture book came out, and I got my first book deal with Spencer Hill Press. I thought 2012 would never compare. Boy was I wrong. So here I go!

I signed another two-book deal with Spencer Hill Press for The Monster Within and The Darkness Within (releasing in 2014).I signed a four-book deal with Month9Books for my debut middle grade series, Curse of the Granville Fortune (releasing in 2016).I signed a three-book deal with Month9Books for my Birth of the Phoenix Series. (The first book, Into the Fire, releases spring 2014.)I sold my three-book novella series Game. Set. Match. Heartbreak. to Swoon Romance. (The first book Love All releases 1/8/13.)I held Touch of Death in my hands and cried. Here's video evidence.Touch of Death released on ebook on December 23.I signed on many new editing clients.I started editing for another book publisher.I got a new puppy.I survived my daughter starting all-day kindergarten. (This might have been the toughest goal I achieved.)I had my one-year blogiversary and met some amazing online friends.I started reviewing over on YA Bound.Wow! 2012 was a great year.
Now it's your turn. What's your good news from 2012?
