The anthology will open with Terri Rochenski’s Sacrificial Oath, a story of self sacrifice. J. Keller Ford’s The Amulet of Ormisez will follow—a story of success in failure. From there, Birthright by Australian author Lynda R. Young will delve into secrets revealed. Kelly Said returns to this anthology with Petrified, taking the reader on a journey of finding one’s purpose. Last Winter Red by Jennifer M. Eaton finds us in a post-apocalyptic world where not all is as it seems. Rounding out the anthology is our headline author, J.A. Belfield, author of Darkness & Light and the to-be-released Blue Moon, with Escort to Insanity.
Did you notice something odd? Yep, my name is among the authors. How super exciting is that? This news comes a little late because I was away on a cruise during the official announcement, but it's never too late to celebrate.
Virtual chocolate cake for all!!!
I also have a new author picture to show off in the sidebar (I hope it doesn't scare too many people) and a slightly new look to my blog. And next week I'll be able to show off the cover of the book. Exciting times!
Photo: Even though the photo has nothing to do with snow, it has everything to do with my cruise and I promised to share some photos. While the authors were being announced for Make Believe, I took this photo on the Isle of Pines last week. Wow, was it only last week?
.

ReplyDeleteYay Lynda!! Congrats, that is such great news!
ReplyDeleteAnd your author pic is lovely. :)
Lynda, how cool is that!? WEll, you may have been away when the news came but it is still worth celebrating!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I think that seeing one's name in print is something that never gets old for writers. :) And I like the new look of the blog! I wish that I could redesign my blog, but I don't really know how to do that. You'd think Blogger would have more templates to choose from.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of time to deviate from the blogger templates. It's funny with those templates because initially it looks like they have heaps...until you have to choose one, lol.
DeleteYay! Linda! Mega congratulations! And the photo is awesome! All cool and author looking!
ReplyDeleteSuper exciting and thanks for the cake. Delicious. Congratulations! Now I must go Google The Island of Pines. Never heard of it before. . . Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThe Isle of Pines is a tiny place. It's part of New Caledonia. The people there speak French and a native tongue (forgotten the name of it, oops).
DeleteChocolate is one of my passions.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lynda! How exciting! :) Love the author pic - it's too lovely to be scaring anyone away. :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the anthology Lynda! I did notice the new look, and the new pic, very nice profile picture! And I like the clean look of your blog, I need to clean mine up, but it's just one of those jobs that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list :)
