My Agent Sold My Book!

I feel like I've been sitting on this forever, but my wonderful agent, Kat Salazar of Larsen Pomada Literary Agents sold my book!!!

Here is the Publishers Marketplace listing:

Mary Gray's THE DOLLHOUSE ASYLUM, in which a group of teenagers are granted asylum from the apocalypse--and then assigned new identities as famous, tragic literary couples and forced to reenact their stories... or die, to Kate Kaynak at Spencer Hill Press, in a nice deal, for publication in October 2013, by Kat Salazar at Larsen/Pomada Literary Agents (World English).

And I have already been hard at work with my new better-than-words-can-express editor. She's seriously the real life version of what God must have seen that I needed/wanted. She has so much passion for my story and YA literature in general, plus she's a writer, too, so she *gets* everything I go through to create the right combination of storyline/words. And she's maybe even more communicative than me, which is saying something, and I absolutely love that about her. She's kicking my butt. I already told her she's my own Mr. Miyakgi/Walter from Fringe (pushing me, but hilariously brilliant, too.) Thank you, Danielle Ellison, for picking out my book. And thank you, Rich (my other editor who I look forward to getting to know) for wanting to work with my book, too! I am so excited to work with the Spencer Hill Press team since they specialize in young adult fiction. I've already read and was blown away by two of their books: Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Minder by Kate Kaynak. Plus, I love this cover: Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway and this premise: (Perfection by J.L. Spelbring). I love how Spencer Hill Press is so passionate about their books!

So it's time to celebrate! Throw confetti! Roll your eyes, because now I won't stop talking about my book. I'm so excited to be working with a publishing company with so much talent and ambition up their sleeves.

Oh, and I almost forgot! This is me signing the contract. I am very serious, because this, folks, is a very serious landmark for me.

Please chime in and I'll visit your landing pad back! Tweet this and I'll be sure to follow you on twitter and would love to tweet any of your good news, too.
