I'm assuming the publisher and editorial director reading and being pleased with the manuscript is kind of a big deal, yes?
Yes, it totally is.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

I'd whimper in jealousy if it was almost anyone else. As it is, I'm super pleased for you.

I had no idea that the publisher and editorial director were ever handed manuscripts to read. So when Emily the Awesome Editor sent me that mail, I kinda stared at it in open-mouthed bogglement.

Jilli, I fully expect you to be invited to talkshows, because Goths are hip, they're happening, they're now, and you look so wonderful.

Well... it's how my book wound up canceled. My (very baby) editor and her immediate supervising editor both loved it. They gave it to the publisher, who hated it.
So trust me, love. This is a Very, Very Good Thing.

The publisher was VERY VERY WRONG about your book. Like a big wrong thing.
So trust me, love. This is a Very, Very Good Thing.
Meep!

I'd love to see Jilli on Stewart and Colbert. Or maybe taking #1 on "Countdown"(Christian Finnegan's not funny, Keith)

Anyone who's interested in what a rejected partial looks like, I just posted over at my blog. [link] (It's in two parts.)
Poor little skating story that there's no market for. Boo, market.

Each of us is born with an unknown sacred mission,
which Death interrupts a day before it is finished.
Death always refuses us that last day.
"You got what everyone gets - a lifetime" she says. "It's not my fault you wasted the time you could have spent fulfilling your sacred mission"
