I'm floating right now.

I just accepted an offer from Dorchester for my next two books, which neatly wraps up my four book series--or will when I'm done writing them, but whatever, a minor detail. :tongue


The release dates aren't set in stone, but it looks like the third, McAlistair's Fortune, will come out June/July of '09 and the fourth, untitled for the moment, in the fall or winter of '09. That makes for four books released in about a year. :snoopy: and :e2thud:

What's really, really cool to me, is that when I came to AW in Oct. '06 (I think, can't see my avatar/sig/thingy from here) I had one unagented manuscript and no idea what to do with it. Now I've an amazing agent, an outstanding editor, two books done, a third partially done, and four sold. Wow. Thank you, AW. :e2woo:

LOL! I think SoccerMom will have a hard time beating that with her Snoopies.

Thanks, Kimmi!!

And my phone rocks. . .Most some of the time. It's the curse of a rural life.

Advanced warning was given of your arrival, Kimmi, and buttons were made trickier as a result. :tongue

Your post is more than clear enough. :Hug2:

Thanks, everyone!

I'm really hopeful (and a little nervous, of course) about this series. It's received some nice kudos--great quotes from Kathe Robins and Sophia Nash, and I just sent a Dear Reader letter off for a Borders Newsletter. Seems like things are really rolling along. . .I just hope I can keep up. :D
