Onward

Okay, so, I have signed the contract for Hello, My Name is Trollface, with kNight Romance Publishing. I'm very pleased. I also just let my mother and mother-in-law read the final rough draft ( Two very scholarly women) so now I'm in a cold sweat, lol.

What's next? (aside from edits in my future?)

Well… I have some plots banging on the door of my brain demanding I admit them. One is a sci fi funny, but I don't know if it's adult or YA. Stuff those characters say… I mean… can they DO that in YA? Probably. I'm a prude when it comes to YA fiction - so it turns out.

My steampunk story wants to be written, but it has a multiple plotinality disorder. It has two many possible twists and turns which fuddle-me-up.

Then I have my old contemporary story that is nearly finished. If I blow the dust off that one I know I'm in for an agrivating time of it. This story wants to be many stories as well, but the goal is to have my characters meet, conflict, conflict, conflict…. resolution. So far they want to psack their bags and leave town in a big huff, have a life altering adventure, leave that town, have another life altering adventure, leave town possibly with a few squad cars chasing after them, nearly expire, then return home. Yeah, they should just stay put.

Other than that, there's a paranormal, a murder mystery series, and another story that I just can't figure out who the audience is.

Yippee!!! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations! :)

I have trouble figuring out if my stuff is YA or adult too, sometimes. I'm kind of a YA fiction prude too. :p

Thanks everyone! It feels great. The bookstore I used to work at has suggested they carry it there, which is great. It's an ebook, and I had no idea bookstores were tapped in to that. I should do a blog about that I guess.
