So. In the way that production screws with your sense of time, and when a book finally reaches Actual Readers you're already on to the next book, or even the book after that... PSI/Bonnie #3 is due this week, which meant it was time to send in my option material and see if they were interested.
Yes, option material to a series that won't start until May.
No, I don't get confused, but my larger sense of time* is kinda loose to begin with.
Anyway. I sent a proposal in to madame agent, who liked it, and sent it on, and... oh hell, cut to the chase, and I'm delighted to say that Luna has, through Madame Agent, made me an offer for three more books in the Cosa Nostradamus universe, and I have accepted.
*pause for quiet squeeing which you, hopefully, will join in on*
Book #1 will be the fourth in the PSI series, (and yes, Wren & Sergei will be involved). Books #2 & #3... will take us in a slightly different direction, while staying within the world of the Cosa Nostradamus. We'll see more of the larger world, especially the fatae, through the eyes of a young and somewhat dangerous talent, and her guide and partner, Danny Hendrickson.. yes, Danny the PI, Danny the half-faun. Danny who started bitching about getting his own book and apparently gets what he wants. But he may have gotten more than he can handle, with this Talent, and the things she can find...
I'm really, really psyched about these books. As in, doing the happy-author excited wicked giggle dance kind of excited. (The cats, having ascertained that they will, indeed, be fed throughout 2010, yawned and went back to sleep.)
And um, yeah. For those playing along at home? That means these are the 10th, 11th, and 12th books in the Cosa Nostradamus universe. 6 Retrievers, 4 PSI, and 2 in the yet-untitled new series. Why yes I am sort of quietly hyperventilating, nice of you to ask. *takes paper bag, breathes into it.*
*"what year is it" time as opposed to deadlines and be-there-by time.
