The Chronicles of October Daye.

My first trilogy has been purchased by DAW Books! This set of urban fantasy/mysteries is best described as 'fairy tale noir', and will be coming soon to a world near you. The order is:

Rosemary and Rue
A Local Habitation
An Artificial Night

I am grateful, excited, delighted, and really looking forward to the full-contact editing bonanza that's sure to be coming my way. There's nothing more exciting than a red pen, a machete, and a whole manuscript to explore. So this is the beginning of the process. Now, we make our hack-and-slash way to the end!

Yay!

I am totally excited, and proud, and happy, and a bit Justified in the rightness of the publishing world right now.

Thank you so much. I honestly couldn't have done this without you to support me.

Love.

I knew this announcement was coming, and I remain just as proud of you now as I was when you first told me.

I sing with the bats, babe.

The bats are doubtless good harmonizers!

Thank you, so much.

It's all professional! And clean.

Congrats...

I will so look forward to reading these...

Just one question: Is there _any_ chance you will be making these available through Webscriptions.net? I do 95% of my reading in e-book form these days. I'm perfectly willing to spend my $$ to get a good e-book, and those folks get most of my business because of their policies. I'll make an exception for you if necessary, but just asking.

Whether or not the book is available in an electronic form is really going to be up to my publisher, not me. Quite honestly, I don't know.

I love the Dance icon. May I steal? If so, who should I credit?

Thanks! Glad to share. It's by by napalm_isis; s/he does a lot of cool icons.

Congratulations ;)

The only reason I haven't been jumping up and down with startled glee is that I thought you'd already done this many times already - 'cause DUH, of course you're worthy!
