Request!!!
I don’t think I could have asked for a more perfect blog post to follow on from my last.
On Friday 13th July, I received a request from a publisher for a full of both Blood Roses AND Beguiling The Enemy. For all of you who have now picked up on my Repetitive Emailing Checking syndrome, ironically it was a morning when I’d languidly reached for my iphone, switched it on to let it warm up, and even left it for a few moments after it had tinged because I was so convinced it was nothing more than sale-mail or a calendar notice.
The next few minutes were something of a blur as I stumbled sleepy-eyed down the stairs in my pyjamas, handed my phone to my husband and said something along the lines of: “Does that say what I think it does?”
I can’t give you many details at present, but just seven days later, the publisher had read Blood Roses. Not only were they excited about the potential in the book but also in me as an author! If that wasn’t enough, they are now going straight on to read Beguiling The Enemy.
It’s still early days and it’s only just beginning to sink in but I have been itching to share this with you. Hopefully, if all goes well, I’ll be able to give you some more information in due course. No sneaky emails asking me for behind-the-scenes gossip – I can’t tell you anything more!! 😉
To everyone who has been rooting for me, please continue to keep those fingers and toes crossed. For those of you who have been doing so since New Voices 2011, let alone 2010, I hope you’ll be able to return them to normal circulation soon. Goodness knows they deserve the break.

I’m so happy for you-and dying to know the details!!!! Hmmm, so even a Hot Pink sister can’t get some early behind-the-scenes info??? 😉 Well, make sure you update as soon as you can share! Everything crossed for you!!!
Thanks so much, Victoria. I feel horribly guilty not being able to spill the details – yes, even to my lovely Hot Pink sisters. I just hope it’ll be good news at the end of it or I’ll be spending the next six months with my head in a bucket of Pepsi. 🙂
Woo Hoo!
At LONG last! Just another step on the journey to SUCCESS!!
Big Hug
Christine

Amazing news!!! Not long until Caleb and Kane are finally in my clutches. So very well deserved you have such wonderful talent and it deserves to be shared. Yay!!!
Fingers, toes and all the bits in between are crossed for you xxx
Massive thanks, Tracey. I really appreciate your kind words. Your poor fingers and toes must have forgotten what normal function is by now! If you do get Caleb and Kane in your clutches, hopefully they’ll make up for it. 😉 xxx
I’m still jumping up and down for you. Will calm down soon ;o) Can’t wait to hear more! You go girl, I’ll keep everything possible crossed! xxx
Hey Aimee! No need to calm down – passion is so cool! You make me proud to write. And thanks so, so much for all your support. xxx
Oh, Linds, I’m so hapy for you. You persevered and now it’s paid off. I believe you’ll become a published author and best seller. Keep working on your next project in the meanwhile, so when the time comes I can buy a set of your books. Fantastic news!
Hi Tima. Thank you so much. The next project is already underway, rest assured. 🙂 And huge thanks for your support. I’m still looking forwards to Bloodgifted.
Beyond excited! Can’t wait to have both books in my hands. Many congrats, Lindsay. Very much deserved.
So am I! 🙂 Let’s hope it all works out. Huge hugs and thanks for all your support.
So excited for you! You know I’ve got everything crossed for you. It’s only just a matter of a little more time. Hang in there. And I can’t wait to hear your call story. 🙂
And I’ve got my fingers crossed for you too, Jennifer. Thanks so much for your support. 🙂
Woohoo!!! Awesome news, Lindsay!!! Crossing everything for you!!
Hi Sri! Thanks so much. You’ve just given me my first visit from India! (I’m assuming it’s you – tad embarrassing if not.) How cool is that? I hope you’re having a fabulous time over there. Hugs x
Super news. My fingers are crossed for you. x
Thank you so much, Jessica. That’s really kind of you. I should know more before too long so I appreciate the crossed fingers in the interim. And it’s lovely to ‘meet’ you. 😀 x
I remember your NV entry ;o)
Ah! 2011, I’m assuming? I forgot to say thanks so much for the blog follow too. 😉
Yup. I entered as well, but not going to this year. ;o)
