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 hop
e to use on my eventual website. He managed to obliterate some of my ugliness, which takes true talent!

  10. 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.

  11. 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!
