For the past few days I’ve been very cautiously excited and now I have the official go-ahead from my wonderful agent, Jill Marsal, to announce that NAL/Penguin has contracted a 3-book deal on my paranormal romance trilogy! The release date is still very tentative (probably sometime in 2012) but it’s going to be part of the Signet Eclipse line and Danielle Perez is my new editor!!She called today and was so nice on the phone and for some reason I couldn’t stop sweating. Like crazy sweating and if anyone had seen me, I would have been so embarrassed. It was so bizarre b/c it’s not
like it was in person and I was nervous about pitching or something. I mean, she was saying all these wonderful things about the story and just asking me normal questions but I think it was finally setting in that holy crap, I sold to NAL/Penguin.For now, it’s all a little surreal. See the first picture of the flowers? My fabulous friend Kaylea Cross surprised me by sending those today and the others are from my wonderful mom and sister. The man got me some too but those aren’t blooming yet so I’m going to wait to post them.
More details will follow in the future but for some very brief details, the books are a paranormal romance series featuring a pack of shifters battling a radical hate group intent on destroying all paranormal beings.
