In a week and a day, you will be able to walk into a bookstore and buy a book that has a story I wrote in it. Stories, the absolutely amazing anthology edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio, will be released on 15 June.
I am really, really excited about this. "A Life in Fictions" was the first thing I ever sent out, my first sale, and a story I am really proud of. The fact that it is in this book, in such amazing company, makes me want to dance every time I think about it.
Also, on Tuesday, there will be a reading and panel and well, this.
I will be there, too. Reading and paneling, and trying to pretend I am not going out of my mind with OMG!WOW!
So if you're in New York next Tuesday, stop by. I'll be the red-head who can't stop smiling.
*hugs*
ReplyDeleteIs it too terribly awkward that I can't stop smiling now, either?
Not awkward at all. Much appreciated, in fact.
ReplyDeleteI got a review copy of Stories through Amazon Vine, and here is my way-too-long-what-the-heck-was-I-thinking-of review of it:

You're mentioned in there; certainly not the biggest review you'll ever get, but maybe the first?
Karl - thank for for passing on the link. I'm so glad you liked the story.
ReplyDeleteGoing back to a previous post of yours - does this mean you are a "real" writer now? :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Sarah - thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd you didn't stop smiling!
