Hey, all!
Just a bit of advertising, don't mind me. But I want to get the word out to as many people as possible. :D
Last year, I hit 50K on November 11th. I actually finished the novel on November 18th. On December 19th, a publisher replied to my submission, accepting the manuscript for publication. One year to the day almost (it was released November 13), my 2006 NaNo is available for sale! You can buy it from Amazon or a smaller company called StarCrossed Productions (it's more expensive, but more money goes to the publishers and, well, to me. But if you buy from Amazon, it helps my sales numbers. So whichever you prefer to buy from is fine with me. If you decide to buy. Not pressuring anyone. I'd make a lousy used car salesman. ;-D) It's a lesbian romance set on a small island off the coast of Washington State. The summary...
"ON THE AIR"
Nadine Butler is a popular disc-jockey on Squire's Isle, Washington. Due to her public persona, she is content with being in the closet. At the end of a particularly long day, Nadine goes to a Town Hall meeting with her girlfriend. During a debate concerning the banning of a book from the town library, Nadine surprises everyone, including herself, when she inadvertently "outs" herself. Word spreads like wildfire through the small town and, before long, Nadine finds herself threatened with unemployment because her sponsors are pulling out of her show. Desperate, and given one last chance to be on the air, Nadine barricades herself in the booth. With help coming from some unforeseen corners, she decides to make the most of her last time On the Air.

If you decide to purchase a copy, great! But mostly I'm posting here to a) brag and b) show people that it can happen! NaNo novels can and do get published! I keep telling people... if *I* can do it... ;-D

Thank you! I'm still shocked that it happened so quickly. And becoming available during this year's NaNo was a very nice coincidence. ;-D
