Happy Anniversary WOLF SIGNS

Yes, little Wolf Signs is all grown up and legal everywhere–at least in dog years. That means, of course, Happy Anniversary to me!

Flowers from my mom and dad. 😀

 

It's been three years since my first book was published. There have been ups and downs along the way, but mostly ups. Lots of ups. Lots and lots and LOTS of ups. 😉 Climbing to 5000m on Cotapaxi mountain in Ecuador was breathtaking. So has been the publishing adventure.

And it's been full of people. Of family and friends, authors and editors, publishers and promotors, readers and bloggers. To try to name everyone all would be impossible, because there's been long discussions by the IM firelight. Jokes (that were very NSFW) on twitter. Emails that were long and heartfelt, or short and full of *smack* some sense into me. Laughter filled ‘business discussions' at conference bars, sometimes involving martini glasses, broken or unbroken. Intimate looooong, earnest advice given while standing in quiet hotel hallways (you know who you are.) Cowboy hats, stuffed wolves, and brainstorming seasons over the phone and IM. Tearily read emails from readers who have been touched by a story. Or who touched me with THEIR story.

You all make this so damn awesome.

When we traveled the USA last year we were down in San Antonio and ran into this lovely store on the riverwalk. I couldn't believe it. It was called “Life is Good.” I had heard about the place before, but thought it was just a joke, albeit one that made me smile. But no, there it was. A place filled with what has basically been my life motto for a long time now.

Do what you like. Like what you do.

Rock it hard, Life is Good! Lol!

So on my celebration day I've got a few things to give away. For a chance to win, just leave a comment. Winners will be randomly selected and awarded one of these gifts on Friday, March 30. International if legal, and if I can ship direct from the store to you. Yada yada yada on other rules.

Thanks for being a part of the adventure, whether you've been around for 3 days, 3 months, or 3 years. Looking forward to the next 30!

Congratulations!! What a wonderful three years of stories you’ve given us. Wolf Signs was one of the first paranormal stories I bought on my then shiny, new Kindle (my precious). 🙂 Loved the series as it’s progressed, and now the offshoot to Takhini is rocking the goodness too! You are on my Top 10 list of favorite authors and an instant “gotta pre-order the new book as soon as it’s clickable”! Thank you for sharing the inside of your creative brain!

Congrats on three years, Ms. Viv!!!! I have a feeling you have so much more to look forward to, and things will just get more exciting-you never have been one to do ‘dull’. Love to you and yours especially the wolfies, because they make life so much more fun.
