I’m celebrating the release of The First Time by highlighting all the Debs and “the first time” that brought us together: our debut novels.
Following the theme of firsts, I’m starting with Jessica Verday, who acted as publisher for this anthology. I can’t imagine the anthology coming together as it did without her efforts–she coordinated the cover art, the editing, did all the behind the scenes work at Amazon and Barnes and Noble (no easy task, that). If anyone deserves to go first, she does.
Not only that, but she’s a New York Times bestselling author.
Jessica’s Firsts:
Anthology story: Once Burned, Twice Shy.
First line:
The worst thing about boys that you rescue are the excuses.
2009 Debut: The Hollow (Book 1 in the Hollow Trilogy)
Most recent: The Hidden (Book 3 of the Hollow Trilogy)
