It is of course a deliriously happy author who may announce her very first book, that much goes without saying, doesn't it?
I take the fact that I am writing this as April has just turned into May with Beltaine (or whatever it's called in your neck of the woods) as a good omen, and present to you with delirious elation All Our Dark Lovers, a collection of stories and poems (it contains the Masquerade poem, but also new things).
Many, many thanks to Mark Deniz of Morrigan Press for giving my manuscript a chance (have I mentioned the official announcement?) Also, thanks to Katey Taylor for general supportiveness ;)
All Our Dark Lovers will be released into the wild in 2013, on Valentine's Day. Get a black magic marker please and draw a cute black heart around Feb 14, 2013, on your calendars, will you? Or let your phones and smartphones remind you, that's fine too.
*happy dance!*

Congratulations Alexa, that is wonderful news. I hope the months between now and the release don't drag for you, it seems like a long time to wait. Still, I reckon you'll be having a more than a few butterflies as the day approaches. Well done.
ReplyDeleteDavid, thanks! And yes, butterflies, whole swarms! Well, it is a long wait, but I figure that kinda forces me to keep busy, as in keep writing ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. That is wonderful news. Are you using the Velásquez for the cover, Alexa?
ReplyDeleteI really love that picture. I've got it on my wall, and I've published a story featuring it.
Thanks, Deborah! No on the cover though. It will be a little newer than this, but no less beautiful I'm sure.
DeleteCongrats, Alexa!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteWe're honoured to have your wonderful book in our catalogue, Alexa!
