It’s Our Anniversary


SORMAG turned 9 years old this month.


I can still remember sitting up all night trying to get the first issue online. I think I drove myself crazy the next day, checking the counter to see if anyone was looking at it. My first reader, clicked on and we were official, Shades Of Romance Magazine made its mark on the web.

We have evolved to an interactive magazine and I love it. We just finished our sixth online conference, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming months and year.

I have tons of books in my basement and I need to get rid of them before my husband throws them away like he promises. So this month, I’m giving away goodybags. They will be a surprise because you could get a book from 2000 or one published in 2009. This is my way to say thank you to our loyal readers.

You have three ways to win.

1. You can post comments all month for a chance to win.

2. I will be picking out winners from our mailing list. If you haven’t joined our mailing list this is the time to join.

3. I will be picking out winners from our social media (twitter and facebook). If you’re not following SORMAG or my friend on facebook, here’s your chance to connect.


I thank you for being a part of SORMAG and I look forward to many more years of introducing you to the hottest books on the shelves, and helping you on your writing journey.

  3. Hey LaShaunda and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! A big thank you for everything you've done for the literary community the past nine years. I know it's a lot of work and it definitely takes one who is committed to the cause, so kudos on a job well done!

    We're coming up on our 9-Year anniversary on the 16th, and it has been a pleasure working with you and networking over the years. I look forward to another nine years. :)

    (And please don't put me down to win a prize because my hubby is threatening too. I just wanted to stop by and show my support.)

You're better than the post office girl, rain, sleet, snow, you still keep the mag going. Girl there are great things in store for you because you persevered. Keep it up girl.

  8. LaShaunda has it been nine years already? LOL

    I want to personally commend you for all that you do for others. You were such a support to me when I was starting out and you continue to be an inspiration and source of knowledge for many.

    May the favor of God continue to cover all that you set your hand to.

    Linda!
