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!
