Move Over, Penny!

I’ve been sitting on this news long enough.

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve sold my 2007 Golden Heart finalist manuscript, WHERE SHE BELONGS, to Five Star Expressions! Yes, you heard me, Cindy rather than Penny (that hog) finally has a new book coming out! In 2011. That’s next year. My new editor informed me that there was ONE (1) slot left for 2011—and it’s been allocated to my book!

If you’re scratching your head wondering, “I’ve never heard Cindy talk about WHERE SHE BELONGS before,” it finaled in the GH Long Contemporary category under the title, HER HOMETOWN MAN.

Okay, that’s all well and good, you say, but what’s Five Star Expressions?

Five Star is a hardcover library imprint, and Expressions is Five Star’s romance line. They also have a mystery line.

Little ol’ me, a book out in hardcover. 🙂 Well, “library binding.” Which is a form of hardcover.

Five Star publishes almost exclusively for the library market. Which means my book won’t be stocked in bookstores, but bookstores can order copies at a customer’s request. The books are also sold on-line at places like Amazon.

I also don’t know at this point if “library market” includes Canada, but wouldn’t it be ultra-cool if one of my books finally appeared in Canadian libraries?

WHERE SHE BELONGS is a dramatic contemporary romance. The hero has a great sense of humor, but the book is definitely a bit of a departure from HEAD OVER HEELS and BORROWING ALEX. This book holds a special place in my heart. It’s about loss, forgiveness, and rediscovering one’s sense of belonging, and it’s set in a fictional B.C. logging town.

Andy, I know you can’t hear me (or maybe you can), but this one’s for you.

I'm irritated because my posts won't publish.

  5. Thanks, everyone! It’s about time another of my cindypk books sold. And I heard from the editor in a matter of weeks. No waiting for two years, resubbing a manu because it’s been lost, and then the requesting editor leaves and the new editor has different tastes, etc. Usually that’s how the ball bounces with me. Not this time. I’m thrilled!

  7. Well, “amazing” might be a stretch, Diana, compared to other writers I know. But we don’t compare ourselves to others, right? That way lies anxiety. So I’ll take it, thanks, my friend!

  9. The cogs in my mind are already at work, Bonnie. Would LOVE to get into Canadian libraries. They treat authors well.
