Hi Everyone! I'm over the moon. My debut novel, THE FOSTER, has been purchased by Kate Foster at Lakewater Press and is due to be released winter 2018. It's been in the works for a while now, so I'm very excited to finally announce to everyone that the sale is official. Now, on to the edits...

Wow, that's great news. Congratulations! Think the Foster-Foster connection was a factor?

Maryn, so pleased

You know what, when I first queried her, I *did* take it as a good sign! (Plus she was looking fiction with a dark edge, which was another good sign of course--since that is a good way to describe this novel.)

Thank you so much for the congrats Maryn, Lavern08, Esmae, autumnleaf, Calla Lily, discodowney, and Eviora!!

I couldn't have picked a better day to get snowed in (I'm on Long Island, NY). I received the go ahead to announce it this morning in my inbox, so I've spent the day doing just that. Oh, that and shoveling.
