What A Difference A Week Makes by Margo Hoornstra

What a difference a week makes.

Last Monday, a routine medical test resulted in surgery scheduled for me in January. Not an emergency, not life threatening. Not that I'm exactly looking forward to it...but... Awaiting the test results was the worst. Thankfully, everything came back normal.

Now I'm looking forward to putting this behind me a moving on...

Because...

This Monday I received an e-mail from The Wild Rose Press with three contracts attached. About a month ago they contracted On the Surface, first in a planned four book romantic suspense series Brothers in Blue. Four heroes who met at the police academy to become life long friends. The drop out, the straight arrow, the movie star and the maverick. They all share a passion to serve and protect, each in their own unique way.

Now I can look forward to producing On the Force, On the Make, and On the Move.

What a difference a week makes.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

My days to blog here are the 11th and 23rd. For more about me and my stories, please visit my WEBSITE
