About Hooking Up With Summerside Press:
This is my eighth published book. The first three were for kids, and then I started writing romantic comedy and romantic suspense for Avalon Books. When I first read about Summerside Press and the line of inspirational romances they were starting, it seemed like a natural next step for me. I sent several proposals, and always got a positive response, but ultimately every one of them was rejected. Then one day, the editor e-mailed me and asked if we could have a conference call.
The first thing she said to me on the call was that she wouldn’t be buying any of the manuscripts I’d proposed thus far. I remember thinking, “You’re calling me to reject me a second time? That’s a new approach.” Then she went on to say that the Summerside staff had held a meeting to talk about what they really wanted for the two launch spots. They’d already contracted a friend of mine, Andrea Boeshaar, to write the first book for them, and Andrea has a reputation as a tug-at-the-heartstrings storyteller. For the second book, they wanted to balance it out with something light and funny, and they felt like I was just the author to deliver it.
Since I’d proposed some pretty serious fare, I had to ask her why on earth she thought that. It turns out that my e-mails along the way had them in stitches, and they wanted to see what I could do with a full-on romantic comedy. Three days after turning in the proposal for Love Finds You in Snowball, Arkansas, I heard from the creative director who wrote: “Sandie, you nailed it! I knew you would.”
