The good, the not-as-good, the great!
|
The good news is, as of this morning, those three tasks I mentioned in my last post (page proofs, revisions, partial manuscript) are all completed! (So is Thanksgiving, for that matter!) The not-as-good news is, I still have a lot of writing to do on THREE NIGHTS, my house is a disaster, and I haven’t wrapped or shipped a single Christmas present yet. uh.
But…I also have great news to share! I was extremely honored to learn that Goddess of the Hunt has been nominated for the RT Reviewers’ Choice award for Best First Historical Romance. The awards ceremony will be held at the RT Booklovers convention next April, which I had luckily already planned to attend. Now I just have one more reason to look forward to it.
And then I learned just this morning that those lovely people at Random House have sold some foreign rights for my books. The entire trilogy will be translated into German, and rights to Goddess of the Hunt have been sold for a Japanese language edition! So exciting.
Whether you’re naughty or nice, I hope you all are having a great holiday season! Now I’m off to try to cross one more thing off my list…

Congrats on your RT nomination! I won’t be there this year, but I’ll have my fingers crossed for you:)
And great news about the foreign rights. I’m so pleased RH is pulling through for you:) I know a lot of people there are seriously enjoying your work.
Happy Holidays!

Congrats on all the progress and on the nomination. Lots of reasons to be celebrating!!
I embraced online shopping and had everything shipped to the person for whom it was purchased. No wrapping, but less hassle. I’ll take it!
Merry Christmas and here’s to a fantabulous 2010!
