It’s finally beginning to sink in a little that I actually made my first sale yesterday. The fever’s gone and people keep e-mailing me congrats, so it must be true! Whee!

So what happens on the day after The Call?

1. E-mail with agent about details of deal in play and about potential pseudonyms.
2. Go to office where I used to work to tell everyone there. Much yahooing and hugging ensued.
3. Talked to the new Children’s/YA librarian at my local branch librarian about how I get my books added to the collection and the possibility of me donating them. I love the library!
4. Answer lots of wonderful congratulatory e-mails.
5. Call my wonderful friend from high school and college to tell her the news.
6. Receive a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from super pal Stephanie Rowe. I owe Steph big time because she’s the one who encouraged me to write YA. She’s an awesome YA and paranormal writer herself. Go forth and buy all her books! :) Here are the beautiful flowers and balloon she sent me:

    Belated congrats!!! I’m just so happy for you. May this be the first of many, many book deals. (And let us know when you have release dates…I’m always looking for great new books to read, especially now that I’ve finished the Harry Potter series!)
