OMG. I am still coming down off the high. Renee Rocco over at Lyrical just offered me a contract on my paranormal romance, Demon Heart. I wrote her back in a frenzy of excitement and babbled something inarticulate at her, but the point is...


I sold my freakin' book!

I'm so excited that if I had a tail, I'd wag it.

Wow. This feels even better than I ever thought it would.

Wow.

Thanks, guys, for all your support. For the advice on how to deal with dialouge tags, to the friendly instructions on what to do about computers eating my work, and for just being there to listen to me whine about my rejections. You guys have been huge in helping me get to this point. *aw, shucks* Just wanted you to know that.

Oh, and did I happen to tell you?

I Sold!

Congrats!!!!! Man, at this rate, I'm going to have to sell off a vital organ just to pay for all the books that everyone on AW is putting out. :D

Oh well. I don't really need two kidneys anyway. ;)

Thanks, and I will. I did my research and have heard nothing but good about them, so far, and they have a pretty awesome website. (www.lyricalpress.com) Their covers are amazing, and (so far) Renee has been awesome to work with.

Now, am going to go get that big ole' jug of margarita out of the fridge and dive on it!

Wow. *shakes head in disbelief* It is finally happening....

Thanks, one and all. It is a bright new day, and I am officially sober. Gonna crack open that contract today...just as soon as I get the nerve up...and look it over. (okay, my tummy is still fluttering at the thought, maybe I'm not as collected as I thought?)

Just wanted to tell you all thanks for the smiles and celebrating with me!

Wow, awesome! So glad for you.

Now, unless nobody's mentioned it before me: you write the bio. You get ideas on what the cover should look like (I DO hope they'll ask -- some do, some don't). You write the back cover blurb.

That way if/when they ask for these, you will look soooo professional 'cause you're ready.

Did I forget anything, gang? These are the things I went "duhhh" over when I sold my first.

Mega-gratulations!
