I really do have a book deal.

I mean, yes, I've known that for quite some time, but. It's there. The world's been told. It's true.

*pinches self*

Many many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] papersky, [livejournal.com profile] melymbrosia, and [livejournal.com profile] matociquala for notifying me that it was there in black and white. I finally have my own copy in my own hot little hands and can almost start to believe that it isn't all some fantastic mistake.

Two books. Ace Books. First book will be out sometime in 2005.

When you've wanted something so badly for so long, it's hard to believe you've actually gotten it.

Wooooo!

I have taken the little green-eyed monster on my shoulder and wrapped him up in dark-chocolate chains. It will take him long enough to chew through them for me to say

CONGRATULATIONS!



Wow. What an incredible achievement. I imagine you'll have to peel yourself off the ceiling. And of course you have a web site and mailing list and will give us all mucho opportunities to buy your book and support you in this?

Uh oh. The green-eyed monster's almost through the chains. Better run.

I know exactly what you mean.

It's one of the few occasions when I was fairly sure that I was dreaming, but I wasn't.

Congratulations again.

Holy shit. Sorry, inappropriately profane reaction there, but that's *awesome*. Um, you have also been doing frantic dissertation stuff. A diss. and a published novel in the same year. Wow, that's one hell of a year.
