Too Awesome Not To Tell You

Today I have two things to tell you about.
1. I LOVE IT WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT!

My good friend and AMAZING writer, Martina Boone, who most of you know through her blog (named one of the top 100 blogs for writers by Writer's Digest btw) Adventures in YA and Children's Publishing, has an announcement of epic proportions. For those without time to click on the link, I don't want you to miss it, so here's the excerpt from PW:

Martina Boone’s Southern gothic trilogy—with a dash of magic—following Barrie, a teen sent to live with her dead mother’s twin on a decaying plantation where she discovers a centuries-old feud and dark secrets that require making peace with the local spirits, who may not be as welcoming as the sunlit boy who steals Barrie's heart, to Annette Pollert at Simon Pulse in a pre-empt by Kent Wolf at Lippincott Massie McQuilkin (World).

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
