It’s official!

there is no check yet
though first installment is spent
talk about a jinx

The deal is done!

My book is being published!

(This is the haiku book, not the novel. Though the novel has received some “editorial letters” that my agent won’t let me read until the haiku book edits are done. He is protecting me from myself, apparently, because I’ll get very excited and screw up all my haiku. Or something like that.)

The contract is in the mail, awaiting signatures!

The estimated publication date is May 2006!

The working title is Haiku Mama!

I just bought an ibook in a freak, overzealous, spendthrift celebration. I haven’t used a mac in seven years. I have officially gone crazy. But in a good way.
