lagilmanNEW NEWS:
Sale: Untitled paranormal romantic suspense, to Nocturne. This is the project I began in November, just to see if I could. My editor and I have a bet on to see which will be finished first, the book, or the contract request.
This will NOT be published under the Gilman name, as the style's going to be somewhat different from my other work (more in the romance side of the force than the fantasy/SF/horror), and I don't want anyone to stumble in expecting A and yowling because they got B.
Although there will be smut. And, yeah, a smidge of snark. Because, hey, me.
No, this new identity will not be getting her own LJ. You'll just have to come here for news of her exploits.
Alas, my family has reached the point of "well, yeah, you sold another book, *yawn* isn't that what you do?" reaction to a sale. Most disheartening. And yet, reassuring. I must be actually making a living at this.
NEW UPDATES:
Retrievers update: Book Five now has the editor-approved working title of DOWN INTO DARKNESS. I begin production in January. Book Six also has a tentative working title Madame Editrix likes, thereby making this the first time in my entire career I can write file labels in pen, not pencil. See me, tempting fate....

Date: 2006-12-08 03:56 pm (UTC)(and don't worry, this book won't be...scary. Slightly disturbing, possibly. But not scary. Um, except for the scene where.... well, okay, by my horror genre-established standards, it's not scary at all...)

Date: 2006-12-08 06:55 pm (UTC)Things like that, though, I really do have to point the finger at the copyeditor and the proofreader, as they're paid specifically to keep Stupid Oppses like that from happening, once the writer's brain has melted...

Date: 2006-12-08 07:32 pm (UTC)No finger pointing needed, and I didn't mean to embarrass you.
No more than any goof makes me facepalm and mutter... we like to think the babies are perfect, but even the most well-behaved one ain't, I fear.
I have added it to the errata pile.
