I've waited 110 days to tell you this.

But my agent sold my book.

And two more.

Yep, a three-book deal... to HarperCollins Children's.

Back on December 10th, I might add, and I've been writhing with impatience for months now, but the contracts came today, and I mailed them off, and Caitlin said I can tell you all.

You know how people post those "I have a secret and I can't tell you?" entries? I couldn't do it. The whole time, I knew if I did it, it would end in disaster. So I wrote all my impatience into entries that I stuck in a text file. When I get home, I will post them. And you can marvel at my writhing. Because it was mighty.

Congratulations, Merrie; that's just terrific. Your short stories are all awesome, and what you've said about your novels makes me believe that they'll be awesome too! It's going to be a pleasure to read your books--lots of readers are going to be very, very happy that HarperCollins made this decision. Way to go!
