Hello!

[msagara]

I've discovered one unfortunate thing about writing, or attempting to write, two novels concurrently. I'm incapable of writing anything else. I finish writing for the day, and any creativity, any wit, and most of my outrage (okay that last might be a bit of an overstatement), has evaporated, leaving me strangely silent. This would be why I have been absent; I stare at the screen and cannot think of one interesting thing to say.

But! .

Cast in Fury made the extended NYT trade paperback fiction list for the 19th of October. My editor emailed me with the news on Thursday. I work at the store on Friday, and when I got home from work, I discovered these:



Sent by my editor and Tracey Langmiur, from Luna, to help celebrate this fact. They are really very nice, in that picture-doesn't-do-them-justice way.

Glückwunsch! I was just wondering where to comment on one of your older posts that Cast in Fury has arrived this Friday safe and sound in my letterbox in Germany.

I already was reading another book, otherwise I would read it right away, but it'll be my reward for doing some stuff for work today.

If your silence is good for your books, I can (sadly, but..) bear with it.

So I finished Cast in Fury in one go on Sunday night, and while I don't think it's the best book in the series (I think the second one was best so far), I do think it's my second most favourite.

I also hope you were able to sell more of them to the publisher (especially after this welcome bit of news).

The discussions about future books were promising, but I won't actually have real information until I finish and turn in Cast in Silence, which is the second book of the previous two book deal.

I'll post as soon as I have any news, though!
