QUARANTINED!
Are you up to the challenge?
Then . . .
Let's party!
I brought the fireworks.
You can find my newly published novels at Amazon:
They are also available at a discount from Second Wind Publishing:
The first fourteen people who order A Spark of Heavenly Fire from Second Wind Publishing will receive a spark of heavenly fire. Perhaps I erred. Perhaps it's more of a spark of machine-made fire -- a dainty crytal pendant -- but it's still free to the first fourteen customers.
Please join me here for a live online celebration on Sunday, March 29, 2009 beginning at 5:00 pm ET, continuing to whenever. Stop by when you can. There will be dancing, games, eprizes.

I hope to be here tomorrow if I remember.
You might want to send out a message to the No Whine group.
Congratulations my friend!!
Give that publishing thing a whirl!
Okay, I can only afford one book. Which do I get?!
I know, you can't answer that question...
You've done an outstanding job... not only with the writing, but also with promo.
Right On!
this is wonderful news.
(Pat, I've got a standing engagement on Sunday evenings, but I'll try to pop in if I can.)
The trailers are great. I have bookmarked One True Media.
Let's see. Step 2: Write a book.
Have a great day. I will try to join once guests have gone.
Congratulations!!!!!
Dancing
Click on the purple circle, then play your keyboard like a piano. There is even a song sheet if you don't want to wing it.
And John, of course there is enough Beef Wellington to go around. I forgot. Who was going to bring the wine?
Oh, yeah--I'm also sending up fireworks for you here. Celebrate good times!!! I hope you're actually pouring some of the non-virtual bubbly for yourself. Everyone deserves to celebrate such a milestone and achievement.

Actually, I'm thinking we should be congratulating Mike Simpson at Second Wind for being smart enough to grab my books. He once said: “I was told by some other small publishers with whom I had done research that I was going to get mountains of unacceptable crap for every worthy thing I received. So when I got Pat’s manuscript for A Spark of Heavenly Fire, which was like the first submission to Second Wind, I thought, ‘OMG, is this possible?!’ I knew in the first 20 pages that she was the real thing. Then, as we corresponded, I realized where I knew that name: she and I were neck and neck throughout the FCC contest on Gather.com. I remember reading her first chapter of More Deaths Than One and thinking, ‘Oh, man. I hope her second chapter is messed up! I can’t beat this.’ Well, it just goes to show, if you can’t beat ‘em, publish ‘em!”

Ooh, secret word. Could it be "cookies"? she asks hopefully.
Wendy, how nice of you to wear flowers just for me. :-)

Cause for celebration!
The popcorn got in my glass. Hmm
But since you've all been such good sports, you get a prize anyway:

Yes, at first you may say "huh?" But think about it. What are a writer's books if not their babies. Okay, it's a stretch, I admit. But they didn't have a cookie that said "Congratulations on getting your bookS published." Though we all know they SHOULD.
More Deaths Than One was my problem child. From the beginning I knew it wasn't right. One reason I wanted to find a traditional publisher was that I knew it needed a good editing. Well, it took so long, I finally learned to do it myself. It was the first book I wrote, the third, and the fifth. But now I don't have those feelings of inadequacy about it anymore.
