:tapping microphone: Is this thing on?

I sure hope it is, because I have good news ... okay, it may not be good news for anyone else, but I'm excited about it, and what else is a blog for, anyway? (Wank, I know. But I try to stay away from that as much as humanly possible.)

I am very pleased to announce that Roc has agreed to buy a new three-book Young Adult series from me, the first book of which will be out sometime in 2006.

I'm very excited about this for a number of reasons, the first being I get to revisit one of my very favorite scary-story haunts, the vampire tale as urban fantasy ... and the second that I have never written Young Adult fiction before, and this sounds like a whole lot of fun. I'm very grateful to Roc for giving me the chance.

:pops champagne:

... In other news, Windfall is #17 on the in-store B&N science fiction bestseller list. Up from #19, at that! I think that calls for a piece of chocolate with the champagne.

Okay, back to work on NaNo, and the onrushing deadline for Thin Air.

-- Rachel

Had several copies on the new fantasy shelf at Books-a-Million, so I did my part to push up the sales figures. (That's quite an evil cliffhanger, by the way.) You may have to make that a piece of chocolate cake.

I already said so today, but it bears another WOOHOO! :waves pom-poms:

Also, Thin Air? Is that the title of #6? I like it.

Since there is no wank here (thank goodness!), I'm rolling out one of my old favourites :points to icon:

Pass the champagne -- woo! That's fantastic news! =D

Windfall should keep moving up the ranks -- I'm still shaking from the adrenaline rush.

Rock on! No pun intended... YAYayayay! :D

Mmmm, Windfall. Now that I've finished the Brick, that's next on my list (I bought it at WFC, actually).

And congratulations on the YA series! That rocks -- or "rox," as the case may be... :)

Massive congrats! And oh, am very much enjoying Windfall (I ration books to myself)

Congratulations on the sale! Young adult books are delightful. I think a lot of the best writing anywhere is on the young adult shelf. I suspect, by and large, the people writing and editing young adult and children's books care more about giving the reader a quality product than adult writers and editors. Good stuff. *hugs*
