Sold another book!

« previous entry | next entry »

Pirates of the Retail Wasteland, the sequel to my first book, How To Get Suspended and Influence People, tells the story of how the main characters from book I take over the local corporate coffee shop and turn it into an accounting and mid-level management strategies office.


And Random House just bought it!


I shall now dance around and make all the necessary phone calls. Mostly dance around.

Wait... you just sold a young-adult novel about mid-level management? That takes talent!

Yea, you! I can't wait to read them, especially since I already like YA novels. When school's done (and I'm actually reading again) I'll need to get a reading list from you again -- my memory is so bad. And, if yours is too, the author I think you ought to pick up is Francesca Lia Block.

Just for "How To Get Suspended and Influence People." I imagine Pirates will be about a year later or so.

YAY ADAM! That's fanstastic! I can't wait to buy the first one. :-D. I'm planning on building a Firebrand Library so I can brag about all my "colleagues." ha.

Looking forward to meeting you in Chicago. :-D.

You bet! ...And I'm still hoping to get up your way sometime this summer, assuming my meager budget can swing it.

Congrats, Adam! So, you've now sold two books and I'm still trying to figure out what do with my life...

I would hate you, were I not so happy for you. :)

Congratulations! Creative [and, hopefully, best-selling] vitriol is the best revenge. ;)
