MEET THE UNSINKABLES

Five years ago...

a group of women and one lone guy finaled in the RWA Golden Heart. This award is the highest our writers' organization can award an unpublished author. Some of us won and some of us lost, but we all came together, supporting each other through sale or rejection. It's a recent tradition for each group to select a name. We had a few choices...but when Nashville flooded and our national conference (where are awards were to be held) was under water and had to be moved... Well we agreed that our group was UNSINKABLE. 

The GH 2010 Pin

That's the crux of writing and publishing...

You have to think of yourself as unsinkable. 

You just keep swimming until you meet your goals

and the dream comes true.

It's hard to believe that a few newly sold authors began Get Lost in a Story five years ago. Angi Morgan, Jillian Stone, Donnell Ann Bell & Maureen McGowan have been here since the beginning. We've featured close to 2000 authors, given away too many books to count and have had fun doing it. Three more Unsinkable sisters have joined us: EE Burke, Lizbeth Selvig & Nan Dixon.

CHEERS TO ALL THE READERS & 
A LIFETIME OF "GETTING LOST" IN THE STORIES THAT TOUCH THEIR HEARTS !!

I ASKED THE UNSINKABLES:

Angi Morgan

To celebrate their first anniversary, Garrison Travis & Kenderly Tyler would jump on his motorcycle and just ride. They'd find as many food dives as possible and eat. Sleeping out in the open would probably be very appealing...as long as they were secure. 

I'll be at the party every day with a surprise giveaway. Better keep your Facebook notifications turned on.

Mary Lawrence

Bianca and John celebrate their first wedding anniversary at the Dim Dragon Inn. Located in Southwark, the seedy sister city of London, the Inn is a popular boozing ken with the locals. Their friends, a motley crew of muckrakers and thieves, join in the merrymaking, Meddybemps their streetseller friend, drinks too much swill, dances on a table and gets thrown out for making one too many passes at the serving wench. All told, a good time was had by all.

Lena Diaz

The hero of MISSING IN THE GLADES, Jake Young, fully appreciates the quirky, fun, outdoorsy-sprite he’s fallen in love with. To celebrate their anniversary, he’d probably take her hunting. Then he’d cook whatever SHE caught over a campfire in the middle of the Everglades. And finally, he’d treat her to dessert—in the privacy of their tent.

For Kate and Liam, their anniversary would start with a small gathering of family and friends at the Bluebird Saloon for a toast during Happy Hour. Then they’d head home where Liam has cooked Kate’s favorite dish - sautéed chicken breasts in a lemon cream sauce. After a dessert of fresh berries and homemade ice cream, they’d adjourn to the bedroom to continue the celebration... ;-)

Riley is a straight-laced kind of guy whose sense of humor shows up in unexpected places.  Though he and Ainsley don't celebrate a marriage at the end of Who Wants to Marry a Cowboy, I think I know what he'd do for their anniversary.

First, he'd give her a bouquet of flowers.  Why?  Because he knows how much she'd hate them.  As a florist, she views flowers as a dull way of not putting any thought into a gift.  While she was stewing over his lack of originality, he'd bust out the real present.  A new coat in her favorite color to keep her warm during those chilly Wyoming nights.  A necklace with a pendant of flowers.  Cleared off land or a cleared out room of her own in his family home, to create or grow or do with as she wants.

Riley knows her.  Better than her own family.  And his love for her is the best gift she could ever want.

Karen Simpson won at the Party

Jacqui Nelson

To celebrate their anniversary, Hannah and Paden would jump on their horses, White Cloud and Cholla, and race each other through the forest surrounding their home in the Western Territories. They’d do everything they wished they’d spent every day doing on their journey along the Oregon Trail: skinny dipping in a secluded pond, warming each other by a campfire under the stars, and sharing a cup of coffee while the sun rises on a new day full of adventure in the Old West.

Jacqui will be dropping by the party in the evening
...she's on the West Coast.

Laura Schoonover won onTuesday at the Party

Nan Dixon

I know that Daniel would give Bess an orchid, she's a collector. And he would make sure that it is unique and not one she already owns. But Bess would want to spend the evening out on their sailboat, probably with Carly their dog. She'd have her sister Abby cater a meal for them, so they could just enjoy being with each other. And there would be Prosecco--because it makes them (and me) smile. 

Nan will be co-hosting the party on Sunday--look for prizes! Check out her MONTHLY Giveaway for a $50.00 Amazon gift card.

Both of my December bride stories are set during the Christmas season, which in my opinion is the most romantic time of year. Both couples in these back-to-back novellas get married at Christmas. I think they would celebrate their anniversary in front of a cozy fire, keeping each other warm while the snow falls outside.  

E.E. continues our anniversary festivities tomorrow, hosting the BEST OF THE BEST party all day WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2, along with fellow historical romance author and GLIAS crew member, Regan Walker. Don't miss their fabulous line-up of historical romance authors.

Bertha Chambers won at the Party

Vanessa Barneveld

On their first anniversary, Keira and Dan, the teen characters in my paranormal book, would first want to make sure there are no pesky ghosts around to spy on them—very important! They’d steer clear of chocolate at their favourite diner because Keira's deathly allergic to it. Then this besotted pair would take a moonlit stroll to the local waterfall.

Vanessa will be checking in at the party from her side of the world. So readers in North America...get ready for a late night giveaway. Readers from her time zone...stay alert!

Laurie Kellogg

Since the wedding of their teen-aged kids reunited Jake and Maggie after nineteen years, they would undoubtedly celebrate their September anniversary with Alex and Emma. They would also probably invite the entire town of Redemption to a huge potluck barbecue at their house and a touch football game.

Laurie is traveling today, but she's donating

Chris Keniston

Nick and Kara spend all year in Paradise, so for their first wedding anniversary it was hard to find a location to top Hawaii. The only possible answer was the city of lights and lovers. For two entire weeks, the couple walked along the river Seine, drank champagne, and frolicked in the city of Paris.

Chris will be stopping by the party at 5:00 cst. 
She's also stopping by the Sunday Brunch & Reads on the 6th.
