Happenings
I'm putting this lucky ladybug I drew as my userpic for this post, because I am feeling very fortunate right now. A number of good things have happened lately, not all of which I can talk about in detail, but I can throw out some hints. :)
Well, as to the first one, I can talk about it freely--I have a short story collection scheduled to come out later this year. It will consist of many of my previously-published short stories and probably one new one. My editors and I are working on the TOC now, and cover art is pretty much done. It's exciting! It'll be available in print and ebook formats.
I also have a publisher interested in one of my novels--provided I can make satisfactory revisions. That's a somewhat nerve-wracking proposition, but I do have some ideas and will be diving into the project in the next day or so, once I clear a few more items off my list. I have a couple of months to make the changes, which should be do-able. We have a vacation in there but I'll work around it. This is also, of course, hugely exciting, but I am trying not to get too worked up over it since nothing's certain until those revisions are done and meet with approval. Of course I can let myself enjoy the fact that they liked the story enough to ask for revisions. :)
The third item was an invitation that I should really keep quiet about for now. But it's very nice.
Will share more details on all of this as I can. For now--feeling lucky indeed!
