After word got out that I’d received an offer from Brava, I started getting e-mails from other recently published authors. They wanted to know if I was scared, if I was worried about ever selling another book, if I wondered if my editor liked me, if my relationship with my friends and cps had changed.
It was a relief for me to learn that these feelings weren’t just mine but somewhat universal. It’s a strange place to be–no longer unpublished, but not quite published, and desperate to sell another book. There’s even a support group for writers in this stage of their careers and it was great to find that out. It’s always nice to know that you’re not alone. 
It’s called ToBeez. “Romance authors who have just made their first sales and are looking for information, support and people in the same part of the publication process. ToBeez means sold-and-yet-TO-BE-published!”
What’s it called?
