So now I can finally share the news that scuppered my Nanowrimo, and it’s the best kind of news. Yes, the behemoth has finally found a home 🙂
New UK based publishers Kristell Ink, the fantasy and SF imprint of Holland House, have accepted Art of Forgetting and will be publishing it in two separate normal-sized volumes rather than one gawdalmighty fantasy doorstop. Dead tree and e-book versions, for release around December 2013, though I don’t have precise dates as yet. I’ve been sitting on this news for days, but now KI have gone public I guess I’m allowed to too!
I’m thrilled to bits about this, I’m really proud of AoF and I was beginning to despair of it ever finding a loving home. Like a slobbering Great Dane at the dogs home that a lot of people looked at, then sighed and went, “but it’s so HUGE!”
Of course, there’s still a lot of work to be done editing it and making it fit for public consumption, so I’ll start editing just as soon as I stop doing the Happy Dance….
….ok, maybe I’ll happy dance for a BIT longer….
More news as and when I get it!
(Edited to add – thank you to everyone who has commented – my spam filter decided you were all Nigerian lawyers and Viagra salesmen… Also WordPress doesn’t want to let me reply to your comments individually, so a great big THANK YOU to all of you!)
(Edited AGAIN to add – WordPress also spam-filtered all my replies to your comments that it had previously spam-filtered. WordPress is looking to be on the wrong end of an axe-related reprogramming if it doesn’t start playing nice….)
Congratulations! That’s brilliant news, very happy for you.
Thank you so much! Let me know when you’re next in Bristol, I’d love to catch up 🙂
can i be excited for you now!
Yes you can! Celebratory cake all round, I think!
Congratulations! SO thrilled for you! (And can’t wait to read it!)
Thanks, I’m chuffed to bits 🙂
I am so chuffed for you and so very happy for AoF, it deserves to be printed!! And I’ll be pre-ordering my copies.
Thanks hon, it’s been a looong time coming! Pre-orders are the best, if you can do that that would be awesome!
