CANDOR, a dystopian YA, will be my first pubbed novel. It is the third novel I wrote (and the other two shall stay forever

YAY, congrats! Egmont seems like they're putting together a really fun list-- i expect big things from them!

And the frothy, delirious denial I totally get. My agent said we had heated interest and were 'expecting' two offers, and the whole time i had myself convinced they would BOTH fall through. its amazing when its official and the denial disapears!

I know, you keep thinking to yourself, "but what if they change their mind???"

Thank you Danielle! You must be psychic. And YES, sold less than 3 months after I signed Firebrand's agency agreement!

Thanks Melissa! Now the only question is, do I have to keep the broken mirror for seven years?
