Yes, congrats!
I remember very well the feeling of trepidation when I submitted my first BattleCorps submission - I felt my writing was up to it, but would the the editor accept the story or was it all just wishful thinking on my part? I also remember the warm feeling when it was published. I think it takes some courage to actually submit a manuscript, throwing it to the wolves in hopes it might survive.

Btw, from the "back cover" summary posted on her site your wife's story looks interesting enough that I might just buy it.  :thumbsup:

I hope the trip through the presses wasn't too uncomfortable ;)

Has she got her 6 Author Copy books yet? See if you can get a full cover (eg. front/spine-back) for framing purposes.

Congrats!

Oh, and because I believe in Karma, I try to buy books from independant authors so when, whenever III finally publish something, others will buy mine, I picked up one of your wife's books!  The one about people meeting at a concert or something?  I haven't read it yet, it's on-deck.  ^-^

-MY- wife gave me soooo much hell about it!  "your rooooomance novel has arrriiiiivedddd...." hahahaha  so, let your wife know I tooootally took one for the team here! :-) ha ha ha

Book time! Stina's fourth publication is now out, The Tacomancer and the Cursed Blood Knife! Site can be found in the first post of this thread.

And for those who follow Jennifer Brozek's non-Battletech work, she's also getting a story published in the upcoming anthology 99 Tiny Terrors.
