The best news possible!

Okay, so I suppose there could be better news somewhere, but not around here:

Today I signed contracts for a three-book deal with Seventh Street Books (the new mystery imprint for the well-established Prometheus Books).

My first novel is called THE BOOKSELLER, and is set in Paris. I hope to have a website up and running before too long where you can read a synopsis.

Hey, I guess this means I can interview myself, right?!

Actually, the book won't be out for about a year, publishing is kind of slow, but a three-book deal means I have plenty to do in the meantime!

As you might imagine, I'm pretty excited about this. <---- understatement


BTW, I'm adding one of the pics I had taken by a great photographer that I hope to use on my eventual website. He managed to obliterate some of my ugliness, which takes true talent!

    By the way, the photographer is very good. You look very author-like!

    Terrific news! A three book contract is an awesome deal. A series with the same characters, or three stand alones? Enjoy the moment. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

    Thanks everyone. It's a series, same main character. I'm desperately hoping for a pre-Xmas release (2012, obviously) but we shall see. Fun fun!
