And so I feel I should put it here.
Yes, I signed a contract.
Book 1, currently titled Suspicious Circumstances will be out likely this fall. I say likely, but don't get angry, because we have to discuss the date, and there are plenty of variables that can influence that.
But by saying "fall" I've given myself until December 21 to deliver, and you can't whip me with a wet noodle.
I'm sure I'll have more to say on the subject. Truth be told, I'm still wrapping my brain around it all. And if you know about my silly string brain, you know what a sticky prospect it is to get it 'round anything.
I just...guys, it's been highs and lows, you know what I mean? A very emotional death. Winning a contest. Putting my back out. Getting a book deal.
(Our kitten, Skittles)
And of course, after the last experience, I approached this one really cautiously. "Okay, bring out the legal books and send it off to the legal experts."
At the end of the day, what does matter right now is that I signed a deal that I'm really happy about, and it really looks like I'm about to see my dream realized.
Pinch me.
And there'll be more on this in a few days, once I can think properly again.
Assuming that happens.

Wow, Sandra, that's great. Big Congrats.
Thanks Gabriele!
And believe me when I say this: If I can do it, you can and will too! BELIEVE!
Yeah, Skittles is such a sugar-coated kitty!
The truth surfaces...congrats, sweetie. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
Oh but it did already. Stuart MacBride.
And then, when you get your deal it will REALLY be true!
But thanks. I appreciate it!
Snicker. Rachel's a damned nice person, too. It happened to her. I'm going to hang onto all of this and remind myself when I get bummed.
How long ago did Stuart's first come out?
Can't wait for it to be out, Sandra! How exciting!
I AM SO SO SO STOKED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Cornelia!
Of course, I'M totally excited for YOU!
Congratulations Sandra! I'll keep an eye out for your book in the fall.
Cute kitty, btw. :)
Congratulations! Though I bet I can whip you with wet noodle. I'm not sure I'd want to, but if you're contesting my wet noodle whipping ability then I'll have to prove myself.
Thanks Tania!
And Vincent, you want to admit to having a wet noodle? Well, you know, if weilding a wet noodle makes you proud...
I've said it before in private, but I'll do it again in public - congratulations!
Now comes the countdown to the weirdest, most fun / painful year of your life. You’ll love it.
I plan on a white cover with a chair on it and the title 'Dying Lights' along with a September release to cash in on your tour.
Seriously, thanks again. But not everything private should go public -right?
It seems public congratulations are in order, Sandra. I am both extremely pleased and insanely jealous;}#
James, your day is coming! I am certain of it. Just look at the way you write...
And I want a FULL LENGTH McLean offering! Get on that, would you?!
Wow! My dictionary doesn't contain a good enough word to properly express my happiness for you. So, I'll put in a request:
When I buy it, will you sign it please?
Absolutely!
It would be my pleasure!!!
The long hard road pays off.
Congratulations and good luck!
Whoo-hoo! Party time! Congrats, Sandra!
Can I, um, er, touch you?
Way to go!
ICE WINE! Whoo-hoo! Canadians do know how to party!
*grabs a bottle and jumps in jacuzzi*
Indeed we do!
But I might have to put out a "look only" sign, tee hee.
Yes, kitty is, but you know that's not what I meant.
LOL Bernita! Thanks.
I'm hoping to be back to full brain function soon.
Or as full as it gets with me.
I always thought you read my blog while drinking, and now I know.
I changed it a week ago!
Why does it post my comment before yours, when I'm responding to yours? Oh blogger, you are harder to figure out than...than a man says a woman is.
Boy Kim, do I have to explain everything to you? You're supposed to touch women and drink alcohol!
Woohoo!! YEEEHAAW!!! Congrats! Go celebrate! You rock, woman!
I'm glad this is a virtual party or I'd be so drunk...
Huge congrats, Sandra!
Thanks Kim!
