Jess's Cramazing News!
Now that the information is out there on the interwebz, I can squee as loudly as I want! Three weeks ago, my favoritest Crit Partner, Ms Jessica Spotswood and her Awesome Agent Jim sold her fabulous book, BORN WICKED, previously titled Thrice-Blessed.
And the two sequels.
YES! The whole trilogy!
Here's the announcement from PW:
In a high six-figure world rights deal, Arianne Lewin, executive editor at G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers, bought three books by Jessica Spotswood, including the debut novel Born Wicked (formerly called Thrice Blessed). Agent Jim McCarthy at Dystel & Goderich brokered the deal for Spotswood. Born Wicked, set in what the publisher calls "a world of tea parties, engagements, and elegant dresses," follows the Cahill sisters, a trio of teen witches who must hide their powers in order to save themselves from being shipped off to prison or a mental ward. Spotswood, who is from a small Pennsylvania town, lives in Washington, D.C.
I'm so excited for her, I've been dancing for weeks. (Probably not as much as she's been, though!) This really was my favorite book last year I read last year, and I'm so happy you all will get to read it, too!
Head on over to her announcement and congratulate her!
I love it when good things happen to good people, don't you? :-)
