I just spent an hour going back through my old emails/blog posts, attempting to find the first time I spoke with Jambrea last August. It's a like a bloody black hole in my computer…
Sufficient to say I didn't find it, but I remember the gist of it. We both had submissions out with Samhain, and I'd just signed on with the Samhain Cafe to try and figure out what in the world I was doing with this writers gig. And that's when I discovered the ultimate secret to life, the universe and everything.
Jambrea knows her way around the internet. -SHE- would have been able to find our first conversation in an instant.
We at International Heat joke that she must have an internal modem, because not only does she always know what's happening, she knows most people and can (and will) contact them to ask a question, get a quote, or solve an wip query. Some of these questions are -very- hot and naughty, and she still seems to know who to ask. Who will answer. With explicit details.
We love Jambrea. 😉
The other thing I want to mention about Jambrea, is early on I noticed she was the queen of contests. She entered many different challenges, and in them she's found some of her works now on the way to publication. I suggest that any newbie writers could take her enthusiasm to heart and jump in with both feet. It can't hurt and it just might be the stepping stone to bigger things.
If you leave a comment, you'll be entered in this weeks contest. And keep that spotlight shining on Jambrea, this are going to keep heating up for her!

It is good advice. Contest help you to focus on your writing and get better at it. 🙂 I wish I had more time for contest, now i'll just have to count on IH challenges to get my contest fix. heehee
I love Jambrea!! She's always got something positive to say. I think the first time I met her was through Bianca D'Arc, then TA Chase, Carol Lynne and finally the Samhain Cafe. At each site she's well respected and loved for her personality and wit. And she's a GREAT writer.

Jambrea is the greatest! I agree with everything Valerie said. I don't know what I would do without her and all her suggestions.
GUYS! You're making me blush!
Thank you! 🙂
"I suggest that any newbie writers could take her enthusiasm to heart and jump in with both feet."
I've been plugging away slowly on a number of projects but I will definitely take this advice to heart. It's time to get focussed and go for it. On another note, I just bought your book "Tidal Wave" after promising myself I wasn't going to buy another e-book until I finished writing mine "Saving Julian". What can I say.. I love the whole dolphin, mermaid idea and look forward to reading your book this weekend.
Congrats on your book's success!
Vanessa- thanks for buying Tidal Wave and I really hope you enjoy it.
And seriously? Go for it. Just over a year ago I subbed my first story and the adventure has only gotten more and more exciting.
Trying new things makes the journey worthwhile
Viv– Thanks for the upbeat comments. I'm putting you on my inspiration wall in my office. 🙂 Gonna do my homework and decide on a blog site…blogspot or wordpress seem to be the most popular sites. Right now I'm leaning toward wordpress. Thanks again for being a cheerleader.
I tried to send you a private email Vanessa.
Just a heads up- I love blogspot, but I'm seriously considering switching to wordpress. International Heat is on wordpress and there seems to be soooo many more options with it.
my 2cents…
Vanessa – go for it. 🙂 Something else…don't ever be afraid to ask for help. 🙂 The writing community is WONDERFUL. 🙂
I enjoy wordpress. 🙂 I don't use blogger too much.
Congrats JJJ — sounds like it has been a whirlwind year for you! You are certainly the go-to person on many of the blogs I've recently found ;-).
Enjoy the spotlight!

Congrats Jamrea on the spotlight! You sound mega organized. Does that mean you are a plotter? vs a panster?
