My First Book Deal!

Image

I've been neglecting my blog BIG time, but it is time to get back to work and start blogging.

The news that made my year is that I got signed by MLR Press for my debut: A Life Without You!! I received the email last Thursday and sent the signed contracts the following day. I sent the blurbs and cover art request on Monday, so now I just sit and wait to get started on the edits! Well, I'm not sitting idly, mind you, I'm writing the synopsis for the next book in this independent series: Eric. That one's even better than A Life Without You.

So, to keep my ass on the subject, I'm introducing two new segments to my blog: Friday Five Stars and Music Monday. Okay, that's not really writing-related, but it's fun! 

I read a lot and every Friday I'll talk about the books I've rated five stars over the week. If I haven't given a book five stars some week, I'll talk about an impressive book I've read in the past. 

On Mondays I will post a video from You Tube of an Icelandic band - with lyrics in English. This is just to show the world that we have better musicians than Bjork and Sigurros! I mean, come on, we do have some NORMAL artists who are outstanding in their craft...

I'll try to blog at least three times a week, but I don't like to schedule my time too much or I'll get a nasty mental block. Oh, and if I've sunk into a manuscript I'm practically dead to the world...but I'll do my best!
