Exhales, inhales, lets out the news...

So, remember a while back I was talking about that thing that made me Very Happy, but I couldn't talk about it?

I can talk about it now.

Laura Anne Gilman's SILVER ON THE ROAD, launching The Devil's West series, the story of a sixteen-year-old growing up in the Devil's Territory, west of the newly-formed United States, who makes a fateful decision when she signs a contract with the Master of the Territory, and is sent, unprepared, with only a stranger as her companion, into a land where natives and newcomers have an uneasy truce, demons and magicians battle in the crossroads, and only the most desperate settlers try to make a home, to Joe Monti at Saga Press/Simon & Schuster, in a three-book deal, for publication in Fall 2015, by Barry Goldblatt at Barry Goldblatt Literary(World English).

Yes, this is the project I talked about here.

And yes, for those of you who attended the Pacific Northwest SFWA Reading Sessions, this is what I read from, then.  And don't think your positive responses then weren't appreciated, and brought out to cuddle with on the long, cold days when we were waiting to hear back from publishers...
