So, one of the ideas of self-publishing was that no matter how tiny a way of starting it was, it got me contacts and exposure tiny bit by tiny bit.  This might get me the notice of a traditional publisher, who could handle things I suck at - like advertising and distribution.

So, that happened.

Last night I signed two publishing contracts, one each for Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Teeth and Quite Contrary.  They want Wild Children too.  They want EVERYTHING.  It's a little press at [link] called Curiosity Quills.

Alas, with great power comes great responsibilities.  My other writing must be put on hold.  I need to rewrite the last chapter of Quite Contrary.  The ending itself is fine, that chapter just isn't up to my standards.  I'm being paid to write a fairy tale about Little Red Riding Hood killing her Wolf with an axe.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

I write. Currently books, but that grew out of fairy tales. If you like your literary fiction dark and gothic and full of children, you've come to the right place.

Favourite style of art: Embarassingly, probably classic pin-up.
Operating System: XPBLAAARG
Favourite cartoon character: Raven

You have been tagged ;) Put ten interesting things about yourself in your profile, or journal, rather. Then tag 10 others.


1. You must post these rules.
2.Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3.You have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and tell them you tagged them.

Having been stricken by your eloquence a few times since joining DA, I had yet to snoop into your gallery ;) Now that I find myself tucked into a corner of my sofa with laptop and blanket (and an entire evening of blessed free time thanks to a balky pc) I've started to remedy that-- and what an enjoyable snoopage it has turned out to be.
You do great work :D Putting you on watch, and I promise to find more sofa time to read through your works, good sir.
