Okay, So I Didn’t Get A Pony…
But I DID find out that The Vengeful Rogue is sold! So…whatever, I don’t need a pony. I don’t have to clean up after a sold book, at least not once the revisions have been done! XD Either way, it’s a great birthday present, and a nice way of of celebrating me hitting a QUARTER CENTURY!
This is the book I was talking about a few posts back in regards to subtle changes making the difference and I’m happy to report that I was right! HA! *shoots doubt crows in the face*
Those subtle changes, my heroine’s reactions, really made all the difference! So YAY!! That makes Presents #7 for me, details on title and release date will come to you as soon as they come to me! (I love this part!)
I also found out I will be a little extra busy over the coming months as I got offered a Sooper Sekrit Projekt…which I of course said yes to. This is good though because I LOVE to be busy. I find that I’m more productive in every area of my life when I have a lot going…which is great, because with three kids under five, down time is a foreign concept.
It’s funny, because I was completely tangled up in doubts this week. I was sure I hadn’t done the revisions right, sure it couldn’t have REALLY gone so smoothly…but I was wrong. See? DOUBT CROWS LIE! Just sayin’.
But now that my crows have been temporarily banished back to the nether realm from whence they came, I’m more than ready to get stuck in to my new WIP…which will be me returning to a little sheikh love. Ah yes…me and sheikhs…if you’ve followed my blog for a while you remember how it all went down the first time I tackled a sheikh. I rewrote, I angsted, I rewrote again…I fell in love with Sheikhs by the end of it. So I’m very excited for my return to the desert.
Oh yes! Don’t forget, Marriage Made on Paper is on M&B UK and An Accidental Birthright is on eharlequin! (Browsing options in the side bar there).
Hope my birthday is as good to all of you as it has been for me! *bounces away*

Perfect birthday present 🙂
Hope you’ve had a really marvellous day!
Happy Birthday, Ms M! And what a lovely pressie. Seekrit projects are all good….
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear wonderful clever talented writer Mai-sey! Happy Birthday to you!
And that is the safest way for you to ever get me to sing Happy Birthday to you (the kind where you don’t actually have to hear it). Quarter of a century huh? Congratulations on the book sale and the birthday m’dear but bummer about not getting the pony!
wow… hold on, I had to go back and think about the maths. Quarter Century… that’s like, ah, 25. Twenty-Five!!! Sheesh, I had no idea you are sooooo young. Not that you look older (yanks foot out of mouth) oh, no, no, not all. It’s just that at 25 I was faffing around, having fun, wandering vaguely around a not-much-happening career. And you, Maisey Yates, have your s*** together. Three gorgeous kids, one gorgeous husband, and a smokin hot career (7 books, woo-hoo) doing something you obviously, absolutey LUV !! I mean most of us wanna be writers don’t get brave enough to follow our dream until we’ve been over a few hills.
Happy Birthday to you… you are all kinds of awesome 😀
Happy Birthday Maisey! That’s fantastic news 🙂 Congrats!
Joanne, I *so* have!
Jackie, yep, sekrit projekts make great pressies!
Elissa, it’s okay. Ponies are high maintenance. :p I liked your song very much!!
Jo, I am a lucky lady, I have to say. I was a child bride, obviously. 😉 Okay, not quite. I think the youthful naivete worked in my favor…I had no idea what a long shot it all was! So ignorance can be total bliss indeed! I recommend popping on the rose colored glasses on occasion. It helps make you brave when the world is all sunshine and well…ponies.
Thanks Lacey!! I’m happy dancing over here!
Yay! Go Maisey! That’s an awesome birthday pressie too, and I love the picture, very ‘romance novelisty’. Looking forward to catching up with all your novels, and all the best with book 8!
Happy Birthday Maisey! May you have many more to come! And congrats for the new sale!
Sally, ah yes, a day in the life, yeah? And thank you! The New Sheikh is being very stubborn, as those men tend be. Thankfully, my heroine is…well, she can outstubborn him any day of the week.
Than you, Nas! Every sale is a thrill!
I decided to read the first couple of chapters of The Inherited Bride before bed last night… Stupid idea really. My will power is weak when it comes to a good book. I finished somewhere around one o’clock.
You are a bad influence 😉
I love that what I thought was going to happen was completely wrong. I love being completely wrong! 🙂
Lacey, I think that’s the best compliment I could get. Because I love the thought that I’m causing someone to lose sleep over my book. 😉 Also glad I managed to surprise you! That’s the book that my editor and I discussed on the phone and she said ‘I don’t know how you’re going to get them together’ and I said ‘neither do I!’ so we were all surprised. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
