Exciting News!

I have some very super exciting news I can finally share.

My YA urban fantasy novel, Half-Blood, is under contract with Spencer Hill Press. Excuse me while I could squeal somewhere. Okay. I'm back. As you can tell, I'm a teeny, tiny bit excited about this. Writing Half-Blood was so much fun and I fell in love with the characters (maybe I'm a bit biased), and I'm absolutely thrilled with the knowledge I'm going to get to share the story and continue it into a series. Yes. A series. Now I have to go somewhere and swoon.

I don't think I've ever been more excited about the idea of doing revisions, but I'm sure the wonderful editorial team has a lot to do with it.

Becoming a honest-to-goodness published author has always been a dream of mine. Some days I never thought it would be possible, but like everyone else has swam in the sea of rejection, all it takes is one yes.

As more information becomes available, I'll be sure to update ya!

Any if anyone wants to see one of the 500 versions of my query, please ask.
