I had this long thinky thoughts post planned–and I will probably get to it later–but we interrupt this regular programming with a special bulletin: Going for Gold just got listed at ARe and it is already the best selling anthology! Not to mention, we’ve received a 5 star review on Amazon–from someone that’s not related to me or owes me money. 🙂
Seriously, this is happy making because I really want to write an expanded version of Jake and Rich’s story–and tell the rest of it as well. Just last night I was looking at all my commitments for the next 3-4 months and wondering what I would have to give up–there’s no way I can do them all.
Seeing this news has given me the boost I needed to keep on plugging away! Thanks, guys!
Yay! This is great news. 😀 *happy dance*

It is, isn’t it? And the anthology finally showed up on my Amazon page too. I got my print copy in the mail yesterday and I carry it around and look at it fondly now. 🙂
I will so buy an extended version if you will ever write it :), thank you for this story 🙂
Aw, thank you! I’m 5 K into the expanded version, so I think it’s safe to say I’m going to write it. 🙂 My problem is how to present the backstory without revealing too much of the already written section and without being redundant as well. I’d really love to be able to re-write the whole thing from scratch, but now that the course is laid out, I have to jump what’s in front of me. 🙂
The only way I can think of to handle some of the ‘redundant backstory’ issues is to change POV and tell the first section from Rich’s POV. I hope that works!
I just realized you left a very nice review on Amazon–thank you! That really means a lot to me 🙂
Oh so good to hear that it is in the making, whatever it is you are going to decide to do with it 🙂
I’m so glad to hear someone feels that way. 🙂 Half the time I wonder if I’m the only one who is interested in a set of characters–it is so very nice to find out I’m not the only one!
