Wishful Thinking

Yesterday was a weird and curious day.  Also a good day.  I had four wishes fulfilled yesterday.  Seriously.

It all started when I tweeted that I wished the UPS guy would show up because I was waiting on a speakerbar for the TV.  It's been over a year since my cat chewed through the speaker wires and I haven't been able to play my iTunes over the TV since then.  I like to have music throughout the house when I'm cleaning.  Anyway, five minutes after that tweet?  The UPS guy knocked on my door.  He actually knocked.  He usually tosses the box and runs.  Cool.   A wish fulfilled!

So I thought I'd give it another try.  I TweetWished for a contract.  Not asking too much.  I had hopes my editor would call soon and buy something.  Of course, I'd been hoping that for a month now.  Less than two hours later?  I had a contract.  (More on that below.)  That blew my mind a little bit.

I decided to go for all the marbles, and after a little deliberation on fav sexy guy, TweetWished for Johnny Depp.  Right after that tweet, I checked my email.  First email I opened to read?  It was about Johnny Depp.  The hairs on my arms rose for that one.  Sure, I hadn't actually found JD on my doorstep, but still, it was too cool.

So I pondered.  Perhaps there's a three wish limit to these things?  On the other hand, shouldn't I press my luck and try for the lottery?  Heh.  Nah.  I decided to give it one more try though.  Just to prove that my wishes were up.  So last night before I went to bed, I TweetWished for a silent night without my hubby snoring.  Ha!  I knew that would never happen.

I didn't sleep much last night.  Not because of the usual racket of snoring, but because of the lack of it.  I'm serious.  The hubby was so quiet last night, I lay awake most of the time thinking, "He's not snoring.  He's really not snoring!  He's lying on his back and he's not snoring.  That's impossible."  And then, "What will I wish for next?"

So, four TweetWishes in a row.  How cool is that?  But I'm done.  The universe gave me some fun yesterday, and I'm grateful for it.  (Though don't be surprised if I try the non-snoring TweetWish on occasion.)

So about the contract.  I sold three more books to Nocturne and a couple Nocturne Bites.  I will be writing, The Werewolf's Wife, which is the werewolf Ridge's story.  He was in Her Vampire Husband as the righthand man to the pack leader.  He was stalwart and honest, and I really liked him, so now I'm going to pair him with the baddest witch in the west—er, make that midwest.  I'll also write Forever Wild, which is a followup story to Forever Vampire (May '11).  It's about Trystan (werewolf) and after you've read Forever Vampire, you'll have learned a bit about him.  He's fun, lots of charisma and likes to play (in many ways) and I'm pairing him with a werewolf who has never in her life shifted.

Not sure what I'll write for the third book, but if you've read my stories and have wanted to see a secondary character get their own story, now is the time to make some recommendations!

Everyone have a wishful day!
