cathschaffstumpAll righty then. Just sent off a synopsis for a book proposal for Cats Curious Press. Heard back from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sonyamsipes that she likes the initial overtures, and she'll get back to me with what she wants to add in. She approached me to write the book and offered pretty good terms given our mutual career beginnings (hers as publisher, mine as writer), so I figured it would be a good move. Good way to spend an evening.
I'll share more details once contracts have been signed and the basic plot has been hammered out. This won't make me rich, but it will be a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something interesting, and add to my publication credits. If the book does well, it could lead to a series. Thanks tosonyamsipes for having enough faith in my writing based on previous submissions.
The books will be middle grade/young adult. Right up my alley these days.

Meanwhile, Ethan Ellenberg has had his two weeks, so he's officially on the do not respond list. (It's what he says on his site.) Four out there still, and I'll send two more next week.
Tonight, after I sit down with the husband and go over refinancing information for our mortage, I'll sit down and attempt to find markets for the Junior Vampire Auxilliary short story and Mistoreth's Eyes, a spooky novella. I also have some reading/reviewing to do for some fellow writers that's long overdue, so I hope to see to that.
Then I guess it'll be revamping that ending on Sister Night, Sister Moon. I'll post it at my writing group and ask for advice, but would any of you be willing to look at it, and see what you think? I know it's NaNo for many of you, so my hopes of getting readers from active, productive writers are slim, but I thought I would ask.
Another big event this weekend is World Fantasy. Those of you going, have a GREAT time! I hope to join you in Calgary next year. This year, as a consolation prize, I'm doing my Russian Fulbright song and dance at Fantasy Matters in Minneapolis in two weeks.
I suppose I should see if that paper is on my data stick, or if it's trapped on my dead work computer...stay tuned.
