I sent off a short story (my dirty little story is what I nicknamed it) to Cobblestone Press on Saturday afternoon. . .
. . . And they sent me a contract this evening!!!!
I’m so excited. I can hardly stand myself. I’m going to be published! And with Cobblestone - I’ve been so impressed with the way they promote their site and their authors and now I’m going to be a part of it!
Well, first I have to read and sign the contract. That’s kinda important, huh?
Ok, gotta go put kids to bed. Just ‘cos I was offered a contract doesn’t mean I can stop what I normally do every evening and revel in the good news. Rather unfortunate, but what can I do?
Whoo-Hoo!

Becky says:
Karen! That’s amazing! Isn’t that, like, your FIRSt submission EVER????
Well done. You clever, clever woman!
Shelli Stevens says:
Yay, Karen! I’m so excited you’re joining the Cobblestone Press family. We’re so supportive, and it’s such a great place to break in. They’ll go gentle on you
Your book rocked, I had a feeling they’d buy it! I just couldn’t outright say that. *giggle*
Sue aka MsCreativity says:
WOOHOO!! Do you believe that things come in threes? You’ve just won the book bag and signed book from Kate Walker; your first short story is being published… what’s next I wonder? (maybe a forthcoming contract from Blaze..?)
Congratulations!!
Sharon J says:
Congratulations, Karen. That’s excellent news! It seems you’re on a roll at the moment so fingers crossed it’ll continue.
Being in the UK I’ve never heard of Cobblestone Press but am off to have a nosey at their site.
Karen Erickson says:
Thanks everyone. Appreciate all the comments! I’m up super early cos of my children - don’t they believe in sleeping in? I wish!
Uh, MsC, I gotta send in the Blaze to get a Blaze contract so that’s not gonna happen anytime soon, lol. But I love your positive thinking!

This is so exciting and the blurb you sent us over at cobble, very catchy lady.
