Okay, forgive me if this should be in another forum or what have you.

MY NOVEL, HELL'S BELLES, HAS BEEN SOLD TO KENSINGTON! (And so have the next two--still unwritten--books in the series!)

Even though it's billed as a paranormal romance, in my heart this will always be a humorous urban fantasy.

This will be my first published novel.

WOOT!!! :hooray: :hooray: :hooray:

Congratulations! I'm sure you're very excited!

And I feel the same way about my WIP's. That they're more urban fantasy than paranormal romance but I'll market them whatever way gets them sold! =)

Thanks, Kasey! And man, I'd call the genre "broccoli" if that's what publishers wanted... :Jump:

(I really do crack myself up...) :ROFL:

Thanks, everyone! I'm so thrilled, and my head is spinning from how fast this all happened.

(Erk. And after a bottle of bubbly tonight, I have a lot of writing to do...)

Thanks again! :banana:

Thank you so much, everyone!

Christine, I did get an agent--I probably forgot to post it here. (I know. Bad Jackie.) It's been an utter whirlwind!

Cool!

Great job, Dragonjax! Many congratulations.:Clap:

If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take Kensington to decide to buy your book? And which line will it be in? I've had one of my books under consideration for their Strapless line for about four months. (agented submission)

Thanks, badducky and Sakamonda!

Sak, this has been an utter whirlwind. My agent submitted to Kensington (main line) on 12/1. On 12/9, we got the offer, as a pre-empt. My head is still spinning.
