THANK GOD!!! I can finally say something!!!

[rflong]

I've just signed the contracts for my 100k novel The Penitent to be published with Samhain, the same publisher bringing out The Wolf's Sister in November.

The Penitent will release as an ebook early next year (between Feb and April) and then in print about 10 months later.

YAY!

I've been dying to say something (and have to some people in private) but I got so paranoid and superstitious I couldn't and I had to wait until people came back from RWA and holidays and and and....

Alright, I'm waffling. But I'm happy. I have been trying to get this one out for SO LONG!

Definitely elephants for everyone!

(And I may have used up all of LJ's exclamation marks. Sorry!!! Oops, there I go again.)

Word is they're down the back of the sofa. You might also check behind the fridge.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Huh...wonder why I put them there...

[debbiemumford.livejournal.com]

Awesome!!! Congratulations!

(See? I found some leftover exclamation marks.)

[rflong.livejournal.com]

Were they down the back of the sofa?

[rob-haines.livejournal.com]

Many congrats. However, as there are no exclamation marks left to make exhultatory remarks, I'm going to have to particularly British about this and state for the record that you have indeed done an upstanding job on the publication front.

You're going to have to go easy on that punctuation next time. This is harder than I thought...

[rflong.livejournal.com]

Why thank you most kindly sir. I shall indeed endeavour to display more restrain in punctuation in the future so as not to cause you distress of this nature again.

Thanks!;D
