Hi, y’all! Miss me?
Well, as of 4:48 Tuesday afternoon, I sent off my revisions on Secret Project #1, which was my first novel of the year. February 2nd, and I’m already one book (and one short story) down. I wrote over 65,000 words in the month of January. And yes, I do feel smug about it.
I also saw my first cover of the year. Zombies vs. Unicorns is already floating around these here internets. And let me just say — I LOVE THIS COVER. I love it so much. I want to hang a print of the artwork on my wall. It’s nothing like what I was expecting, but marvelously unique and eye-catching and perfect for this collection (she says, having only read two of the stories in it).
And Simon & Schuster is already working hard on the promo, as you can see (check out my new Twitter icon, too). You can even partake in a ZvU poll. (Vote TEAM UNICORN, please!)
My other favorite thing about this anthology is it’s releasing right smack dab between the release of the Rampant paperback and Ascendant. Let’s just say that this fall is going to be chockers with killer unicorns. I may have mentioned this back in 2009, but what the heck, new year. My short story in the anthology is entitled “The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn” and it’s a standalone story set in the same world and timeline as Rampant and Ascendant. It’s about a young unicorn hunter who isn’t living in Rome and how that’s working out for her. (Hint: Not well.)
And, now that it’s February and my schedule has gotten a little less hectic, I definitely plan to b blogging more. I’ve got giveaways planned, some conversations about romance and love stories, a debate on the dystopian fiction, authorial control, gender bias, and all kinds of super juicy topics that have been brewing for months in my brain. Stay tuned!
