You mentioned "many years." How many exactly is "many"?
Gina, I started writing my first novel seven years ago. The fifth book I wrote, The Hunted, was the one that was good enough to land an agent... and get a publishing deal. I started that book the summer of 2007. Almost three years ago. Since then I have written three more books and am working of my ninth.
Very awesome Bethany - I'm very impressed that you never gave up.
This really is great news! Congratulations!
Wahoo!!!!! That is fantastic news. I am SO happy for you!!!!
