Whoo-hoo! (Book whoo-hoo, specifically)

Sharyn just called to say that she had the go-ahead to make me an offer on Going North, the joint sequel to the Secret Country books and The Dubious Hills, and she wants to reprint Hills as well. She and my agent have to hash out all the details, so I haven't got any, and I suppose there's a dim chance that it will all fall apart, but I doubt it. I am so excited. I also want to note that the reprints of the Secret Country books are selling very well and have earned out their advances. This means some money for me in September, which is tremendous news, given our basic situation. All of this also means that I can see Eric again before 2005. Life seems much better than it did 24 hours ago.
