it’s official

Some of you already know this, but I figured I should make an official announcement. My young adult novel, Cycler, will be published by Random House along with a sequel, as yet unwritten. Random House is a most excellent publishing house with an impressive track record in YA and I could not be happier.

No seriously, I’ve been walking around with a stupid smile on my face for weeks.

As some of you know, Cycler concerns the travails of an eighteen-year-old girl who turns into a boy for four days out of every month.

The crack publicity and marketing people at Random House promise all kinds of fun Cycler-related media stuff and I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

    That is fabulous news. It is always inspiring to see hard work and limitless talent get recognized.

  8. Lauren says:

    Thanks, Rocketeer. Coming from the Poet Laureate of Holy Cross that is high praise indeed.

    S & J, you are my fairy godparents of YA.

  9. Chad Sexington says:

    The only remaining question is who will be starring in the film adaptation.

    Congrats again. I knew this day was coming about 15 years ago. People as talented as you rarely fall through the cracks.

  10. Devin says:

    Well I said it in the group emails, but I’ll say it again: Congratulations! Let me know if any of those Random House people give you any ‘tude. I don’t know many editors there, but I do know people who can seriously mess with their computers.

  11. Evil David says:

    Thrilling news, but I can’t say I’m surprised. Charm, hard work and uber-talent is an unbeatable combo. Kudos again!

  12. Lauren says:

    This is all too much. Liquid Logic is supposed to be a no-holds-barred brawl of blasphemy, politics, and weird gender kinkiness. I don’t know what to make of this very lovely group hug I’m getting other than to hug right back. So there. Group hug. Big kisses.

    Now somebody pick a fight, for godsake.

  13. Yay! That’s wonderful news!

  14. Chad Sexington says:

    Fine, I’ll start.

    You smell.

  15. Lauren says:

    How could you tell, Chad, what with your overpowering stench and all?

  16. Chad Sexington says:

    You mean that’s ME that I’m smelling? Actually, that explains a lot.

  17. You have horrible taste in seasons of tv shows!

  18. Lauren says:

    And you have an anti-chocolate bias.

  23. Lauren says:

    Never too late for you, Karen. In fact, the smile had waned a bit. Thanks for reminding me to put it back on.
