New Year’s Eve-A Time of Endings and Beginnings

It’s hard for me to believe that 2013 is almost behind us. It’s been an eventful year for us here at Teatime to be sure. Blog sister Erica released her self-published debut A Dangerous Invitation (Woot!),  we welcomed Kim and Jessica to Teatime and bid a fond farewell to Cora and Katherine. Amy, Erica, and I were able to meet in person at the RWA conference in Atlanta last July, and all of us have made strides in our road to publication.  As we say goodbye to 2013 and get ready to greet  New Year, there is a lot for us to be proud of, and a lot for us to look forward to.

But New Year’s Eve is also a time to say goodbye to the old. It is my sad duty to report that Teatime Romance is disbanding and today is our last posting. Believe me when I tell you that we did not come to this decision lightly. We have all become so busy with our work, real lives, and our writing, and realized we could not devote the time and attention to Teatime that it deserved. Therefore, we wanted to quit while we were ahead, and leave on a high note instead of sadly petering away.

Fear not, dear readers. While Teatime is ending, this won’t be the last you see of us. You can still connect with all of us on Facebook, Twitter, and other various social media venues. It is our hope that the friendships and ties we’ve developed during our time here will continue on. Here are all of our Twitter handles:

Amy Pfaff: @amypfaffauthor
Erica Monroe: @ericajmonroe
Jennelle Holland: @authorjennelle
Jessica Grey @_jessicagrey
Kim Truesdale @playsthetart
Lisa Lin: @Laforesta1

We are also planning on keeping the blog up so you can peruse the archives whenever you want, and guest authors can still link to the blog posts if you wish.

On behalf of Erica, Jennelle, Amy, Jess, and Kim, we appreciate every one of you that has supported us during our time here. We are grateful to all of the authors who graciously agreed to guest blog and visit with us. And a huge heartfelt thank you to all  lovely people in the romance community who came by and commented, retweeted us, and help spread the word about our blog.

From all of us at Teatime, we wish you a Happy New Year and a wonderful 2014!
