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.)

Haven't read your four pages of comments here, so just in case no one else mentioned it:

If it'll be in the UK, it'll most likely be in Australia. Just a few months later ;-) Which means that when Seanan is in Melbourne for WorldCon next year...Mira should definitely be in the city for promo-ing Feed ;-) Be sure to tell the peeps at Hachette Australia that you'll be here.
