Agency Update
I just got a call from AJ so much excitement has ensued. Here's the story so far:
Ill-Met By Moonlight is still with all the publishers it was sent to before Christmas. Initially this seemed bad to me, but AJ tells me it means Ill-Met is being read cover-to-cover, rather than being scanned and sent back. This is good.
With a lot of publishing houses nowadays, an editor might love a book but, rather than snap it up there and then, it will have to go to a committee for a final decision. He's confident I'll be under contract within months and wants me to outline a couple of future books for the series. I already sent him a synopsis (in the loosest sense of the word) for Something Wicked so I need to pull together my vague ideas for the third and fourth book.
*faints with excitement*
*comes round again*
Apparently I also need a series title. I have absolutely no ideas.
