Publishing contract in the works

Yesterday I received a call from my agent informing me that Ace is drawing up a contract for a three book deal; RISE followed by two sequels.

It’s difficult to explain exactly how that made me feel.  It was difficult to convey it even to him as he told me.  I first conceived of RISE when I was bumming on a friend’s sofa not long after graduating from college, and although it has changed quite a bit from its original form as I myself have changed, it’s been in my mind for many years.  To see it finally take shape and see print means more to me than I can express in this inline frame, but trust me when I say that to me this is a very big deal.  I labored on RISE for a long time and always envisioned it as a three part series, so to have not just the first book but all three lined up like this really means the world to me.

APPLE, the book I began after completing RISE at a time when I still hadn’t managed to find an agent yet, is nearing completion and will be test read soon.  It is a bit horrific compared to the last one.  Ok, some might say it is extremely horrific but I hope it will find a home as well.

After that, the saga continues and honestly I can’t wait to begin.
