It’s official!

I'm thrilled to share the news of my first book deal (from Publisher’s Marketplace):

E.M. Kokie's PERSONAL EFFECTS, in which a teenage boy discovers evidence of a secret love affair among his dead brother's personal effects shipped back from Iraq, and embarks on a cross-country trek to find the mystery woman and deliver a last, unsent letter, with surprising results, to Andrea Tompa at Candlewick, by Chris Richman at Upstart Crow Literary (NA).


Thanks to friends here at the AW community for your support, friendship, cheers, information and assistance. I’m just so excited to share my good news with some of the people who helped me get here.
