When will you rise?

It is my considerable pleasure, absolute delight, and no small amount of awed bafflement, to announce that the Mason trilogy has been sold in a three book deal to Orbit, with concurrent publication by Orbit UK. They will be published beginning in 2010, with Feed (working title: Newsflesh) coming out sometime mid-year. All three books will be published under the name "Mira Grant," my shiny new open pseudonym. I have a pseudonym and a horror series. You have absolutely no concept of how much this makes me feel like Stephen King right now.

We sold the Mason books. Alive or dead, the truth won't rest.

Rise up while you can.

(PS: Please don't ask "why the title change" or "why the pseudonym" on this post. I'll post explaining both when I get over sitting here looking stunned and giggling to myself.)

*laughs* HUZZAH! And we few, we happy few, we band of fankids, can say that we knew Feed when it was Newsflesh.

Well. I say "knew". What I mean is "we heard various rantings and ramblings about it on Seanan's blog". Same diff, right?

Now I need an "Obey the boobies" shirt AND an "alive or dead" shirt. DAMN YOU! *shakes fist*

Now I need an "Obey the boobies" shirt AND an "alive or dead" shirt.

For a moment there, I thought, "Dead or alive, you will obey the boobies."

I need to go home and eat ice cream.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So, how does it feel to sell books you actually haven't already written? :D

They really like you!

Congratulations! I look forward to reading them. (And this is from someone who does not like horror, on the whole.)

Yaaaayyyy!

*aha*

I think I understand why the new title makes sense. Feed is both a reference to the undead and to a newsfeed.
