well I was going to whine about grading giving me brain bleeds

But instead I'm going to give you a sneak peek at my news. I'm still waiting on the contract to sign but I just sold my second novel to Dreamspinner Press!

My 1930s demon hunters, Temple, Caleb and Agni along with their new, female partner, Jo will be suiting up to fight a demon prince in Pittsburgh while trying not to get outed to Temple's Knights Templar family fresh in from France.

Merry Yule to me.

And I needed that good news because the actual news has been so fucking depressing and a secretary who knows I write erotica (doesn't know it's gay because like 3 people know that in this backwater) got all pissy because I mentioned my holiday story was Yule and NOT about Jesus. Rolls eyes.

Also the characters seemed to like that idea I tossed out there last night and ran with another 1500 words so yay. Now if I could only corral a plot for the sequel to Kept Tears.

And I'm shocked at how much work goes into these things but how fun is this?

Watch on YouTube

And have a little of this. Christopher Lee sings heavy metal Christmas Carols No, it's not a joke!

ahahah that was fun. Thanks

That's such excellent news! Hopefully something I'm sending you for Yule will help jump-start a few ideas for the next novel. You have a successful franchise going here, so you need to stay productive!

Ooo sounds great. Thank you. (probably nothing I'm sending you for Yule will prove to be anything more than my utter lameness at gifts this year)

And thank your writers group for me. this is the one you guys looked at ch 1 of and I'd be happy to thank the group in the acknowledgements if they so desire. (ditto for you personally or a pseudonym you of your choosing)

Just credit the Dragon's Sandbox. We all read and commented, so that covers all of us.

When do you expect to be back in PA? I know to send your Yule presents to the parents' house, but I don't want the Christmas card to land at an empty apartment and sit there for a month.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Will do. I'm sure I'll ask again much closer to release time because I will have forgotten.

Sometime next week probably tue/wed
