Thanks guys, you're great. I've literally *dreamed* about getting to post a message like this in Goals and Accomplishments. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to make another post someday about selling the NA rights.

Thanks so much guys. I have SO MUCH NEWS but I can't share yet. But I'll update this thread the moment I can talk.
![]() Phael - "Underwear are fortunately optional if scrunched up" is my modus operandi, actually. Mellymel - ![]() :P But seriously. Thanks so much, and stay tuned! Benbradley - Thank you for your congratulations, though I have no idea what for! Thothguard - I am quite a fan of sauerkraut... Backslashbaby - sounds good. It shouldn't be too too long now.

Oh, congrats, Mr. Anonymous! A German sale is high honors, indeed. May it lead to NA right soon.

Okay, so I feel bad.
I thought we were announcing Today. But agent wants to wait a few more days... However. I WILL say that we may have (also) agreed to a deal with a publisher that is a little closer to home. And by a little I mean a lot. And by a lot I mean ![]() Full story just as soon as my agent announces (I'm not going to pick a day cause I might be wrong. again.) Sorry guys. I hate to do this but I got (lightly) reprimanded by my agent for e-bragging about my eggs before they hatched so I'm trying to be a good boy from now on. lol. Sort of, anyway.

Boooh!
Just kidding But you're really building up the suspense here with more good news ----> have you considered switching genres? ![]() /Dreams of the day she'll be reprimanded by an agent/ Erm, I'm really happy for you, still. Not saying why. I just am. I have my reasons. Secret reasons. But I'm happy
