Happy Monday! Here's my short mishmash of thoughts with an announcement:
1. 3 novellas with Swoon Romance If you missed the announcement on Facebook on Friday, I've signed on with Swoon Romance to write three novellas. The first book in the GAME. SET. MATCH. HEARTBREAK series is titled LOVE ALL and it will be releasing in January 2013. Add it on Goodreads. Here's the blurb and cover:
Seventeen-year-old Meg Flannigan wasn’t very lucky at love. In sophomore year, her idiotic boyfriend dumped her by making out with another girl in front of her locker. Ouch! Now a senior, and with a little more self-confidence, Meg catches the eye of not one, but two guys at school. Lucky! Both attend her tennis matches, vie for her attention, and are each gorgeous in their own way. So what’s the problem? Meg has already chosen one of them, and the one waiting in the sidelines will do anything to change her mind. She’s enjoys the attention right up until it’s her heart that’s caught in the middle, and she risks losing both. Can Meg Love All, or will choosing be her undoing? LOVE ALL is a debut contemporary Romance novella from Kelly Hashway.
2. Edits I'm deep in edits for Stalked by Death, book two in the Touch of Death series. I'm also editing for clients. My eyes are killing me.

Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew your secret for getting so much writing done. Congrats on yet another great deal!
Very little sleep. I get a little crazy when I'm on a mission. ;)
DeleteCongrats, and give those eyes some rest! :)
ReplyDeleteI DID miss the announcement, so congrats! Novellas are so fun, and YA romance novellas sound even more fun! Love the cover, too.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Cute model on the cover. This looks like a really fun genre and format to write--I heard these "pocket" novellas are really popular in the UK and I'm excited to see them become a fad in the US. I can see it taking off! Congrats on the deal again and staying on the edge ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kiersi. I'm really excited about it. I love novellas. They're fun to read and write.
DeleteI love novellas and am attempting to write my very first one! On this side of the pond we call them POCKET NOVELS.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with yours, Edith!
DeleteCongratulations on the novella deal! That is a really cute cover,too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dianne. Swoon Romance did a great job with the cover. I love it.
DeleteCongrat's

I took six years of Spanish but I need to brush up. ;)
DeleteCongratulations on the novellas, that's awesome! You must be a writing machine to get so much done at once :)
ReplyDeleteI think writing is a sickness for me. ;)
DeleteOne that doesn't need a cure!
DeleteLOL. I definitely don't want one. That's for sure. :)
DeleteSo glad for you Kelly! This is a GREAT announcement, and I did miss that it was a three book deal, so even more fantastic :).
ReplyDeleteGame, set, and match goes to the prolific Kelly Hashway! What an embarrassment of good reading you are putting out there. Very impressed (and just a little bit envious).
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you. That's so sweet. :)
DeleteCongrats, Kelly!! :) I've been hearing a lot about Swoon as of late :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they have some great titles coming out. I'm excited to be part of the Swoon family.
DeleteYour energy amazes me, Kelly! :D
ReplyDeleteInspired me to write my own chapter 6! Thanks!
Yay! Get writing. :)
DeleteCongrats! I'll be looking for this one in January :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nickie!
DeleteGeez Kelly! You have so many books under contact. I'd be happy if I could get one!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I have to give my agent so much credit. She knows what she's doing.
DeleteWow, Kelly! That is awesome! You are a writing machine. =)
ReplyDeleteThis novella sounds fun. Great cover. Congrats!!
Thanks, Natasha!
DeleteCongrats Kelly, Already added LOVE ALL on GR and I look forward to reading your new book. :)
ReplyDeleteAw... so sorry about your eyes.Hope editings are going well though. :)
I love editing. The teacher in me can't get enough, no matter what my eyes have to say about it. ;)
DeleteCongratulations, Kelly. You never cease to amaze me. I wish I had half of your focus. Best of luck with your new contract.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Touch by Death ARC right now and loving it. Loving Jodi and presently on Matt's side. can't wait to get to know Green Eyes....you're a gifted writer, lady.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Ednah! <3
DeleteCrazy stuff, Kelly. Don't push yourself too hard, 'kay? I wouldn't want you to go insane any time soon. ;) And I think I told you before, but I LOVE the cover of your novella. It's so perfect. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat! I don't know how to be anything but busy and slightly insane. ;)
DeleteWow. Good for you and a rock star agent. You are an example of why writers need agents!! Your energy amazes. I am lucky to write for an hour a night. Although I will if someone is waiting on you that always helps. Enjoy your crazy Monday and good luck giving your eyes a rest! Congrats on the novella deal too. I did read it on facebook :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle. Yes, my agent is amazing. I wouldn't have any of this without her.
DeleteMy eyes would fall out of my head with your schedule. Congratulations on everything!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Mine just might. ;)
DeleteI've said this before Kelly- sometimes I wonder if you are only one person. WOW!
ReplyDeleteBowing...
I look forward to your Monday Mishmashes to energize my week. Go, Kelly, Go!
It would come in handy if I was two people! LOL
DeleteI loved this cover the first time I saw it. Still do.
ReplyDeleteMy mind is on overload. Touring this week with Life on Hold. Doing the Halloween Blog Hop starting Wednesday. And who knows what else?
Went to Good Reads and entered here too. I'm a contest junkie. :)
Have fun on tour! That's exciting!
DeleteCongrats on your nouvella deal. That's awesome! I don't know how you get so much done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Auden. I steal every second from every day. My body hates me for it because it means I don't sleep much.
DeleteThat sounds so awesome, Kelly! Congrats on all your success. I, for one, can't wait to read your stuff. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shannon. <3
DeleteSo happy for you kelly! This looks awesome. No paranormal in this one. It looks so cute on the cover. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jodi. No, no paranormal this time. ;)
DeleteCongratulations on the novella deal... You are doing so well!
ReplyDeleteI'm shuffling things around to find some more writing time,
Xx
Good luck, Michelle. And thank you!
DeleteCongratulations! I've been getting into novellas lately, so I'm excited about reading yours :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Samantha! I love novellas.
DeleteCongrats on the three novellas! How exciting! You are sure busy with writing and editing. I am busy making edits this week, too. Very theraputic! :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
Thanks, Jess. I love editing. :) Good luck with yours.
DeleteYou already know that I am over the moon, actually I'm swooning for you! Me, I am buried in writing. I love it though, every moment of it. I have so little time for other things, but I'm passed caring. The only things that come ahead of writing is my family, after that I'm selective. Congrats, I know how hard you worked to live your dream.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda. In case I haven't said it in a while, I'm so glad we met. It's nice to have each other on this crazy ride. And you know, I'm your biggest fan. :)
DeleteCongratulations! You're on fire with the book and novella news. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Medeia!
DeleteCongratulations on the new deal. You're very diverse.
ReplyDeleteMy second draft is finished and with my husband so I'm getting on with life and preparing for a girly weekend away.
Have a good week.
Ooh, sounds like fun, Fi. Enjoy!
DeleteNovellas are THE popular literary from over here right now - so many people too busy to tackle a whole long book. So your are right on trend!(as always) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat would be my agent on top of things. This story started as a novel and my agent suggested I break it up into three separate novellas. She was right again. :) Love her!
DeleteAwesome news, Kelly! Congrats! Your productivity is truly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim!
DeleteYes, you are a super-fast writer! Wow, I'm floored.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, writing is my day job and that amounts to a lot of words a day. So really, it's not all that impressive.
ReplyDeleteEep! That's so exciting. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrianne!
DeleteYou are a writing machine! I'm so impressed and excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna!
DeleteThe cover looks good, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, William!
DeleteI hope the novellas work out well for you. I do love the cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna. I hope so, too. I really like the cover they designed for me. :)
