THE AWESOME GIRL’S GUIDE TO DATING EXTRAORDINARY MEN [Bloggin' on the ETC]

Jan 18, 2012 33 Comments by

Dearest Readers,

I am so, so, so, happy to announce that we made a deal with Amazon Publishing over the holidays. My second book, THE AWESOME GIRL’S GUIDE TO DATING EXTRAORDINARY MEN, will be one of the flagship novels for their soon-to-launched women’s fiction imprint. We haven’t settled on a release date quite yet, but we’re aiming for this summer. Also, it was a two-book deal, so they’ll also be releasing my third book, THE MOST AMAZING LOVE THE UNIVERSE HAS EVER KNOWN, which I’m happily working on now.

Since Amazon isn’t quite Big Six and isn’t quite an indie pub, I imagine you might have a few questions, which I’m going to try to answer next. But if you have any more questions or want clarifications, ask away in the comments:

 

Q: Will AWESOME be available as a print book? 

A: Yes!

 

Q: Will AWESOME be available in bookstores?

A: Yes! Will let you know which ones as soon as we have a list.

 

Q: Will AWESOME be available on the Nook and iPad?

A: I think so… will have a definite yes or no soonish. For now consider it a strong maybe.

 

Q: Will you ever update your headshot? Your hair is so much longer now. 

A: I know! I know! I’m working on it! I’m just really in love with that pic. I so hate to lose it….

 

Seriously, though, as I’ve said to quite a few of you off-blog and offline, I think that Amazon Publishing is just a terrific match for me. My acquiring editor, Kelli Martin, is an awesome and happy person, and it’s been a real pleasure working with her so far. I loved Amazon’s contract terms and their proposed marketing strategy for the book. And ya’ll know I can’t resist a good trailblaze, so I really couldn’t be more excited about working with Amazon Publishing for the next two books.

Again, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments. Until then…
So Much Love,

etc

    Are the books fiction or non-fiction? Hard to tell by the titles.
