What an Incredible Year!

 

2024 was an amazing journey for me as both an author and artist! I wrote 34 short stories, published one long novel, four short novels, two serial romances, two essays, one novella, one novelette, three poems, and nine works of art. Each project stretched the boundaries of my comfort zone, pushing me to embrace new challenges and creative opportunities.

One of the highlights? Having three of my stories published in Woman’s World Magazine! It’s been such an honor to work with this incredible publication, the talented editors, and the inspiring authors who contribute to it.

Another exciting milestone was having two romances featured in Micromance Magazine, a literary magazine growing by leaps and bounds and recently voted number four on Chill Subs’ list of top ten flash fiction magazines. On top of that, I was thrilled to publish an essay in Sasee Magazine, a piece close to my heart that allowed me to reflect and share in a deeply personal way—and to have one of my works of art grace the cover of their September issue!

This year, I also wrote under a new pen name, ventured into a different romance genre, and even explored poetry and new art forms—things I never imagined myself doing! It’s been a year of growth, creativity, and joy, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my readers, fellow writers, and loved ones.

Here’s to a New Year brimming with love, laughter, and boundless opportunities. Here’s to the unwritten stories, the adventures on the horizon, and the magic waiting to unfold!

Hello Everyone!

We've been tirelessly working on numerous projects and we're ecstatic to have welcomed Natasha Sterling to the CurtissLynn Publishing family. She is already a force to be reckoned with. Her enthusiasm, inventiveness and knowledge are quickly making her presence felt among us.

She has joined us as a part-time assistant and media coordinator, and she's been instrumental in keeping me organized (yikes!), efficient, and on track with my goals. Apart from her administrative duties, Natasha is also handling CLP media coordination efforts. She is responsible for managing media interactions, ensuring communication is consistent, engaging, and perfectly timed to keep my blog posts going and readers updated on all of my latest news and releases.

I'm thrilled to have Natasha join the CLP family and help enhance our media presence, connecting readers more intimately with the stories and authors they adore. She is an asset to this team with her experience, excitement, and commitment. I'm eager to witness all the remarkable things she will achieve with us as a part of this organization.

For any media inquiries or updates, Natasha can be reached at .

Thank you for your continual support.

Best Wishes,

Mina
