News!

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.

Congratulations. That is wonderful news. Now we'll really have something to celebrate at Eastercon.

And I haven't forgotten I promised to send you a fiver. Life hear has been overextended of late, but things should settle down soon.

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 :) )

Yeehay!

That is good news.
