I definitely did NOT sign a two-book deal. It's a basic one-book deal with an option. Sorry I'm being weird with the hypotheticals, it's just that my contract says I'm not allowed to discuss the details with anyone.

Usually that means details like royalties and advance amounts, hardly the same thing as what we're discussing.

Asking for clarification from your publisher isn't doing anything wrong.

Does Swoon have an entry in the Bewares forum?

If you can't be specific with us, we can't give you clear information, I'm afraid.

You really need to speak to your publisher.
