Winner announced....and more exciting news!

I am thrilled to announce the winner of my Amazon gift card drawing is:  Krystal Shannan!  YEAH!  Thank you to all of you who visited my blog and participated!  

The last couple of weeks have been quite exciting, with a lot of amazing things occurring - and there is more to come!

In the coming weeks, I will have several announcements forthcoming, so please keep an eye out right here, on my blog, for the most current news!

Also, next week I will be showcasing a wonderful opportunity for families, who may not otherwise have the option for their children - Silverwood Theme Park will be featured in my blog, discussing a wonderful program they have for families, as well as great things going on at their park!

While I will be featuring Silverwood Theme Park in my blog next week, and informing you of great opportunities, the real fun and test will be next month - when myself, my Husband, our two children, and my Mother visit Silverwood Theme Park in person!

Our entire stay there, I will be taking pictures and blogging about the park, the people, the food, you name it!  I can't wait to see, in person, what Silverwood is all about.  The true test will be looking into the eyes of my children; if their eyes are shinning, with smiles on their faces, I will know we have hit the mark!

In addition to this upcoming exciting adventure, I will also have announcements regarding my career.  I know this has been delayed longer than I anticipated, but this part of it is out of my hands.  I don't want to announce anything until the signatures are dry on the contracts.

I will say I am currently in contract negotiations with one publisher, and I have been approached by two others.  I am thrilled to have these wonderful opportunities and I can't wait to share them with you!!  =)

I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support!  I have been welcomed into this wonderful writing community with open arms; it means the world to me, and I hope one day to return the favor to another starting Author.  I have long-range plans, god and readers willing, to be a successful and contributing part of this wonderful community for years to come!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Big Hugs,

Shelbie  =)

Shelbie's Update Reel

I wanted to say "HI" to everyone, as I know it's been a bit too long since I have visited my blog.  To say I have had a busy couple of weeks would be putting it mildly!  It seems as though the minute I think I have a handle on things, something else gets added and I feel buried again.  Oh well, I might as well accept it and get used to the feeling, right?

I have some exciting things coming to my blog in the coming weeks - here is an overview of what's coming, so make sure and check back periodically so you don't miss out!!

-I will be running a Rafflecopter giveaway (prize to be determined) in the next week ahead.  Make sure you join in for a chance to win!!

-I have started a word count runner on the side banner so you can see where I am in the progress of my book; I will attempt to update this often (too bad it cannot do it itself, hu?)

-I have two wonderful Authors, Carrie Ann Ryan and Cari Quinn, coming to my blog during their Blog Blitz, on June 18th.

-I will be conducting a review/interview with Silverwood Theme Park, talking about a wonderful Family program they have available for families in need.  I can't wait to share this with you.

-I will have several announcements, regarding the direction of my career, in the coming weeks!  All I will say for now, until a contract has been signed, is that I have been offered several contracts by several publishers!  I am very excited and honored by the offers I have received!  But, nothing is final until both parties sign on the dotted line.  Until this is done, I will not make any official statements regarding publishers, or deals. =)  

This is just a sample of what's coming in the weeks ahead!  Please check back frequently, as there is a lot going on in the coming weeks!  Also, please check my website  www.shelbieknight.com for updates and add yourself to my ANNOUNCE ONLY Newsletter   http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shelbieknightnewsletter/join You can access my newsletter through my website, on the CONTACT tab, as well.  Please remember, this is not a newsletter that will spam your email - this is for important announcements only (contracts, release dates, etc.)

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday and a beautiful week!  This week begins a one full of work and major decisions for me.  I am nervous, yet at the same time thoroughly excited!
