Well, this isn't the first time I've done things out of order and it probably won't be the last but I can finally call myself an author now that I've sold my first book. Yep, you heard it right, PARADISE, my time-travel historical romance (I like to think of it as
Romancing the Stone meets
Tombstone) has been picked up by WiDo publishing for their 2014 line-up.
Now, that doesn't mean I don't want an agent, cuz I do, but Jack and Katherine have been languishing for some time, wondering if anyone would ever get to hear their story and when WiDo offered...well, we decided to go for it :)
ps the pic is Tombstone, circa 1882.
Woohoo! Let us organize the parties, let us organize a ball :) Let us celebrate!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats, Marcy! Proud of you!
A ball? With pretty dresses and music and champagne? I've never been to a ball before...
Delete:)
maybe a fancy ball with time-travelling theme :) I'd come as Merlin straight from the middle ages!
DeleteOoh, I like that idea, maybe I'll come as one of my other characters, Arlen, the witch. She lived during the Regency period and they did have some fabulous dresses back then...
DeleteCongratulations!! WiDo is a great publisher to have.
ReplyDeletethanks. Alex :)
DeleteDelighted to hear it and congrats!
ReplyDeletethank you, Francis!
DeleteOh my gosh, Marcy I am EXCITED for you. Very cool. Woohoo. No, a single woohoo just isn't enough.
ReplyDeleteDOUBLE WOOHOO!

DeleteMarcy!!! Do you remember when I told you - way back when - , that this would be the book? That you shouldn't give up on it because I loved it and still think about the ending, wondering where they're headed off to next? Yup. WHOOT!! I couldn't be more happy for you. *Snoopy dance*

Thank you Old Kitty :)
DeleteOh, congratulations! That's fantastic! And I think it isn't uncommon these days to do a few books first, THEN get an agent, so long as you do due diligence selling the earlier ones.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I want to do a few books on my own but we'll see how this first one goes... and thank you, Hart :)
DeleteCongratulations. I love how WiDo made Charity's book so gorgeous. Think of me when planning a book tour!
ReplyDeleteCharity's cover WAS gorgeous and I hope mine is just as pretty :)
DeleteThat's fantastic. Let the happy dance begin.
