News!

[la_marquise]

I am delighted to be able to announce that The Grass King's Concubine is officially sold to DAW and should be out in 2012/3. It's a two-book deal, for both Grass King and its sequel. Remember my elevator pitch? 'Orpheus and Eurydice and the French Revolution, with extra ferret women.' Grass King is the underworld. Book two -- no title as yet -- will be the Revolution. I don't know if the ferret women will play a big role in the second book yet, but the Cadre -- the immortal warriors -- definitely will.

A day early, but definitely a very very fine present.

Skirt of the day: blue flouncey.

It has the side effect, too, that it will never ever reappear at Milford.

Congrats! The excerpt you read at Eurocon sounded intriguing. ( Even though it is reader torture to read from a book out in 12-18 months :) )

I know... Publishing is slow, sometimes.

[lil-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Yeehay!

That is good news.

Publishing is not at the speedy end of things!
