Now, this is not The Official Announcement, because that is waiting on signed contracts and whatnot. But my editor* said I could go ahead and tell my family and friends, sooooooo ...
I have a book deal! HarperCollins is going to publish a Gothic Charm School book in 2009!
Like I said, this is not The Official Announcement, so don't tell complete strangers, alert the press, or anything, okay? But yes, zomg, book deal!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's wonderful, Jilli! Congrats and yay!
