Happy Friday! Don’t forget to stop by the Scribes. My guest today is USA Today bestselling author – Terry Spear!
A few announcements:

- Also, on March 20th, I’ll be having my first ever author chat over at The Romance Reviews. I hope you can stop by. But don’t worry, I’ll remind you again!
See, it happened like this.
J Monkeys, Susannah Hardy, and I were all part of a writer’s group at our local library. One June evening, PJ arrived looking for critique partners. After the meeting, Suze and I stayed behind to talk with PJ. After that we all became critique partners. PJ’s book was Savage Cinderella, mine was Ascension and Suze’s was Bonaparte Bay (click here for a short story from this wonderful universe).
PJ also enlightened us with the words RWA (Romance Writers of America). She is personally responsible for recruiting me, Suze, and J to CTRWA. J met Jamie Pope (since they joined the same month) and PJ introduced us to Katy Lee.
Last year, J birthed the idea for a group blog and the 7 Scribes were born. And, personally, I crossed the line between wannabe writer over to professional.
It has almost been a year since the Scribes started and two years since I met PJ, Suze, and J. I am so happy to have made such great friends and to know such wonderful writers.
So to PJ – Congratulations on your new release! I’m sure glad you decided to come to our writer’s meeting that June! I can’t imagine life without knowing you, Suze, J, Katy, and Jamie.
Spill it – tell me about your friends and the people who are traveling with you along the journey of life!
The smiles bring smiles to my face. Great site!!! Thank you 🙂
You are most welcome! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
thx for responding…:)
You are soooo sweet, Casey! Thanks, Doll. You just made my day, and I’m so very glad I walked into that meeting at the library. You ladies are the best!
I’m happy I could make your day! I can’t imagine a time before I knew all of you!
Hey PJ … I’m going to my Nook to buy it right now! Your cover has me intrigued.
Gerri, darling–and all of my Nook friends–I apologize. It’s only available through Amazon until June. Please e-mail me, and I’ll be sure you get a copy.
It was more than a lucky day for you, it was a REALLY lucky day for CTRWA!
Aww, thanks Toni! I know I’m lucky to have met such wonderful and supportive people. CTRWA members are awesome – the best!
Agree wholeheartedly!
Now I’ve got tears in my eyes. I remember the day Casey walked into that first library group meeting. J and I knew right away she was one of us ‘cuz we talked about it afterward. Then when PJ found us and brought us to CTRWA, it was like finding a home. I have to work pretty hard to remember the dark times that came before, because the last couple of years have been so amazing they’ve sort of blotted it all out. As for Savage Cinderella, I’ve seen this book in its early stages, and I’ve seen it in final form. All I can say is, buy it! You’re in for a real treat.
Thanks Suze! I knew you and J were kindred spirits that night we met too!
Aww!
Love you too Miss Jamie!
