I know, I
know, I’m always delighted and chuffed and thrilled by sales. But honestly,
some have more squee value than others. This is one of those.
I wrote
“Matchmaker” back in 1999. I thought it was a short, cute little fantasy. Now,
11 years and 38 submissions later, I’ve sold it—to an anthology looking for
paranormal romance. Yes, I’m stubborn!
“Matchmaker”
