Mood: ecstatic
Music: REM, "It's the End of the World As We Know It."

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.)

It says a lot about my opinion of your writing that my response to this news is "Well, duh."

In an alternate universe where I do not have a massive kidney infection and am not medictated to the gills, I am jumping for joy and squealing and clapping and maybe misting up a bit because I am so happy for you.

However, I am fighting said infection and medicated gills, so I shall settle for sitting here looking cocky. Seanan writes amazing books. Also, the sky? Kinda blue.

*hugs you* Congratulations, sweetie! I can't wait to read it!

Having just read 5 pages of comments there's nothing left to say but,

OMG, that is freaking HILARIOUS. I'm so very tempted to score that for a character name as well!
