I SOLD! August 09, 2008
I know. I keep pinching myself to make sure it's true. Yesterday around noon, I sold my Golden Heart winning manuscript, Soul Provider, to NAL in a three book deal. • News • Since then, I haven't been able to sit still; every couple of minutes, I jump up squeeing "OMG, I sold a book". NAL is a fabulous, fabulous house and I can already tell that Kerry Donovan, my new editor, will be a delight to work with. NAL/Signet publishes J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series and Colleen Gleason's Gardella Vampire Chronicles. Talk about being in great company. This is really a dream come true. To give credit where credit is due, it wasn't me who did the heavy lifting on the contract negotiations. My agent, Laurie McLean of Larsen Pomada, did all the important stuff, and wow, did she do it well. We had several interested editors and she was back and forth with them, while somehow managing to keep me in the loop at the same time. The past couple of days have been a whirlwind, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome. My first book will be released under the Signet Eclipse imprint in late 2009 or early 2010. {pinch} Yup, it's true. Congratulations Annette, I am so happy that it finally worked for you. I will make sure to look for your book in 2009. Enjoy! comment by on 08/09 at 12:04 PM

Wow! This is such amazing news, Annette. I found out last night from LeeAnn Lessard. She asked if I had heard your news, and I thought she meant the GH. I was so happy, I almost cried. I am sooo very thrilled for you. This is fabulous sale, and so well deserved.
Congratulations,
