Sure Feels Real Now!
Friday, December 5th, 2008

Well, the next leg on my journey to publication has occurred.
I was first offered my deal with Avon on September 11th, and Wednesday night I finally received my contracts! Twenty pages long I might add….thank god for an agent who knows all the ins and outs. She was able to get some things changed that would benefit me a bit more, and then all I had to do was sign. Four copies….and yesterday I mailed them to NewYork.

I’m not sure why, but signing on the dotted line sure does make it official to me. I’m a contracted author with Avon Publishing. Wow. Pretty freaking weird!!!!!!

So what’s next? Well, I must wait and see if my revisions past muster. If so, guess copy edits will be heading my way. I have already started the second book in this series so I’ll continue to work on that as well as my goal to sell something in YA.

Speaking of, went to see Twillight last night. And while I liked it, I thought some of the actors were…shall we say, a bit challenged? Dunno…the girl who plays Bella was beautiful, and Edward is very hawt…but some of the others just didn’t do it for me…..maybe I was expecting too much.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I am having our annual Christmas party tomorrow night so I really shouldn’t be on the computer.

ciao for now

    Thanks so much Jess! I think we sold at pretty much the same time…I’m slighlty jealous though, that your book will come out a whole year before mine! Lucky duck! When’s your second due?
