As of June 2, I will go from writing part-time to writing full-time!!! For me this was one of those decisions I knew I&#8217;d have to make but once I did, one I felt completely comfortable with. Yes, it&#8217;s a bit scary. I&#8217;ve worked all my life and have be dependent on a regular pay cheque and benefits. Throwing my financial future into publishing, which comes with many many uncertainties, took lots of thought and consideration. What it came down to was my ability to get out books in a timely fashion. My full-time job was very demanding, allowing me little time to do everything else I needed to do in my life&#8211;take care of my son, write, clean my house and then there was the matter of sleeping. Well as of June 2nd I will be freed up by 40 plus hours a week. I&#8217;m ecstatic to say the least and expect to put more books with greater frequency.<\/p>\n<p>To me that&#8217;s reason enough to celebrate. Madison has created a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Season-Blog\/300049213412353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Facebook page for The Season Blog<\/strong><\/span><\/a> visitors. I personally think it&#8217;s lovely page. To help her populate it, everyone who likes the page will receive one entry for the<strong> iPad 3 drawing<\/strong>. And if you want to know how close I am to giving that away, here&#8217;s an update:<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to reach 15,000 books sold of <a href=\"http:\/\/beverleykendall.com\/anheir.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>AN HEIR OF DECEPTION<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\nCurrent # books sold = 10,456<br \/>\n<strong># books needed to reach goal = 4,544<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have no idea how much longer it will take to reach the 15k goal but I hope it doesn&#8217;t take much longer (another 4-6 weeks would be great). And if you&#8217;re not on Facebook, don&#8217;t worry, there will be other ways to enter the drawing for the iPad 3. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~*~<\/p>\n<p><strong>And now, the winner is&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Maggie Robinson\u2019s<\/strong><\/em> <strong>MASTER OF SIN<\/strong> and <strong><em>Zo\u00eb\u00a0 Archer\u2019s<\/em> DEMON\u2019S BRIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PAM DUKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~~~<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Pam!
