me and a troll
I just heard from my agent, [info]arcaedia.

Anne Groell at Bantam Spectra (henceforth to be known as 'my editor,' perhaps the sweetest words in the English language, currently) has made a three-book offer on my not-cyberpunk not-a-trilogy, comprised of Hammered, Scardown, and Worldwired.

We said yes.

Now the work starts.

Guess I better finish up the Shakespeare novel and get ready for those revisions, huh?

***

In other news: nomail. Although I suppose the phone call is enough 'mail' for all week, really.

Words: 118
Reason for stopping: Trying to figure out how this conversation between Will and Annie is going to work. Also, must get boy from work soon. Oh, and did I mention giddy and shaky with adrenaline?

Words can't express how happy I am for you. That's awesome, in the classic sense. I can't stop smiling for you. I'll buy my girlfriend a glass of wine and make her drink it in your honor tonight. :-)

Well done. Congratulations. That's so wonderful.

And what [info]truepenny said: take the day off. This is the only day in your life that you'll ever sell your first novel. Champagne! Dancing boys! (Hey, at least you're somewhere you could get champagne and dancing boys if you wanted them, I was in the depths of Ireland.)

IIRC, our beloved author lives in Vegas. Of course she can get champagne and dancing boys!
