And now I get a St. Paddy’s Day Present…

On Valentine’s Day I announced that my second YA novel IF I LIE sold to Simon Pulse. Well I have more news.

Yesterday my YA paranormal romance trilogy sold in a 3-book deal to Megan Records at Kensington/Kteen. The first novel, TOUCHED, is about a girl who has the power to heal people with her touch, but at a steep cost because every illness or injury she heals becomes her own.

I can’t tell you how excited I am or even begin to describe what the last month has been like! Now you know why there has been so much talk of cupcakes on Twitter. =D

Also, can I just say how amazing my agent Laura Bradford is? I couldn’t ask for a better person to have on my side.

    Congratulations on your book deal with K Teen! I had to drop by to say hello since I sold to K Teen last month. Very exciting stuff — and your book sounds awesome. Shoot me an email if you ever want to talk books or promo or panic about getting everything done. I keep telling people that my book releases in June 2012, and they’re like, “But that’s so far away…” And I have to quickly correct them…

    Anyway, not to write a book on your blog. Congratulations! I’m so excited to have another K Teen sistah! :-)
