Wow, those are some cool yays! *awe*

Thank you!!!

(And she will be in hardcover, definitely. I find the new trend for YAs in cheap hardcover to be a beautiful, beautiful thing.)

I have one about a spinner sorceress. Wink

(And I don't know about that one. We have an option book, which means Editor Sarah gets first crack at whatever we'd like to sell next, but that's still a ways off as far as I know. *g*)

Oh, when I read that it was "hairy" news, my first thought was - going from hairy to furry - that it meant an increase in the ferret population at Maison Meadows... But, well, this is good too Wink

- Congratulations! Smile

Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

I think I just shouted "HA! HA!" outloud. I remember how excited you were to find an agent & I didn't know that was part of The Plan (any... plan). I am SO glad you shared that bit and now this bit... and I'm very happy to guard the B&N section diligently here in my neck of the woods while waiting impatiently.
