Okay, I have good news and bad news...

Posted by Rachel Vincent

I’ll give you the bad news first, because that’s the way I do things. Here goes: I have to have my picture taken and buy a URL, because…

(Here’s the good news:)

Miriam sold my book!!!!!! Actually, she sold three of them. A three book deal! At auction! Yea!

(Let me take a moment to scream and jump around. Okay. I’m good now. I swear.)

My book went to auction last Tuesday, and not telling everyone has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'm no good with secrets. Really. And now it's out. Thank goodness.

You are now looking at Luna’s newest author. (Okay, you’re actually looking at her blog.) That’s me. Mary-Theresa Hussey at Luna bought #3, which will henceforth be known as Stray. Well, at least it’ll be known as Stray until I know whether or not they want to change the name. But I hope they don’t. I like the name, and I have another one-word name planned for the sequel WHICH SHE ALSO BOUGHT! Along with ONE MORE!

Three books! Yea!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh!

Okay, I gotta go. I need chocolate. More details soon, I promise…

I had a feeling you'd gone to auction. Call it writer's instinct.

Thanks everyone. It still doesn't feel real yet. It feels like it happened to someone else.

I'm thrilled, though. I get to speak to my editor (I have an editor!) on Thursday, and I can't wait!

I haven't bought my URL yet, but it's in the works. As soon as my website's up, I'll post the link.

M.G. sent me over too. You may not know me, but as a fellow writer I am so excited for you. It's so great to see and experience your joy vicariously (at least until I sell my own books). Congrats!
