W is for WiDo Publishing

Who are, officially, my publisher!

http://karenjonesgowen.blogspot.com/2011/04/w-is-for-wido-publishing-and-winner-of.html

My manuscript for Locked Within was chosen as the winner of a contest for a contract with them, and I'm very pleased to accept! It's an absolute honour to be chosen, and to join the WiDo family. Just a quick look at their website and reading Karen's blog tell me that WiDo are a great company, totally committed to embracing the way the publishing industry is growing and changing. I'm excited to be a part of this and I look forward to working with WiDo to prepare my book for publication.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here, hoping this isn't all just a dream.

    I like your new profile picture! Now we can see your face LOL. And you look much younger than in your previous one.

    Thanks Aonghus, Ann!

    Karen, really? It was taken on my honeymoon, about 2 years after the last one I used. Thank my wife, she sorted through my photos to find a better profile pic!

    I've got a friend lined up to take some better headshots. Though I might have Jen pick out which one to use. ;-)
