Hahah! Lily, I know that particular "eep!" well.
Next you get to freak out about reviews.

Eep.
My editor asked me if I knew any mystery writers whom I could beg to blurb. Alas, I know UF, fantasy, and YA writers. I did suggest trying to contact J0hn D0minic Cr0ss@n. After, all, what 74yo ex-priest radical theologian NF author *wouldn't* want to blurb a beach read about pr0n pictures, stalkers, and a repressed ex-nun? She told me she was glad she'd put down her soda before reading that email. Last edited by callalily61; 03-05-2010 at 11:53 PM. |

Lily, is that the Force of Habit title you're talking about?

Ooh, thanks, Melia! My editor also said she's going out this weekend to scout bookstores for potential blurbers.
Phoenix, I've already done 2 rounds of revisions. Cut 9750-ish words. It heads to the copyeditor next. I like my title a lot, but I'm not married to it. If it has to change, it has to change. |

What about your agent? Does he have any clients that could blurb a mystery?

Oooh! Came home to find an e-mail from The Editor: Devil is going to be on a special display in B&N stores for their July fantasies (along with another book y'all might have heard of, RED HOT FURY)

Tas, how awesome!!! There's a really big Barnes and Noble not too far from me (in Santa Monica) -- I will be looking for that!
My morning was just nuts with pre-release book stuff. I didn't even get to my lovely agent's notes on the revised partial until this afternoon. I'm not even working and I don't have time to do all this stuff! Madness, I tell you. Madness.

No contract here, either. The Agent says they're coming. Glaciers are timed with a stop-watch compared to the world of publishing.

Wow, congrats all!
I can finally announce my fun news...my book's audio rights sold! Blackstone Audio will be making the audio version. I have a feeling this entire process will be just as bizarre as the publication process!

Nice, erin. You go! My e-pub is negotiating such a deal, and it is a big deal.

Yay, erin and Tas!
![]() I finally got some "news" yesterday that I don't quite know how to take yet. Without going into detail, there's some internal stuff happening at my publisher that may make a new contract...difficult. Or at least, not something that will happen for many more months yet.
