Cybil Has Found a Home
Yes! It came in the mail today. My book contract for my Cybil Lewis novel, SILENCED. The terms of the contract shall remain confidential, but the publishing company that had the vision to see Cybil for her true potential was, Parker Publishing. They're new to the publishing scene, but already they've added some awesome African American writers to their stable, namely L.A. Banks of the Vampire Huntress fame and Bevery Jenkins whose romance novels are the stuff of legends. Awesome.
I'm quite proud and a little nervous that they wanted to add me to their house of authors. Any place that publishes L.A. Banks gets major kudos from me. But to ask to publish my little novel alongside hers? Wow. I am floored and flabbergasted.
So who is Parker Publishing?
Well, Parker isn't a print on demand publisher, a self publisher, or vanity press. Nope. They're the real deal and I suspect they'll be here a long time. Time will tell, but I think they're fantastic, slick and serious enough about African American literature to accept it in all its many diverse genres and forms--including Sf. If you want to know more about Parker, head on over to their website. While you're there, purchase some of their truly amazing books, you know, try them out. The hooks on these puppies will net you for life! You'll love Parker Publishing and their authors' works.
As for Cybil, stay tuned. I've got great ideas for our girl, and her adventures are only just beginning. I'm excited to watch her grow, love, lose, and triumph. Moreover, I'm thrilled that readers will get the opportunity to take those little joyrides with me--and Cybil, of course.
Anyway, that's my big news. Cybil has finally found a home.
The tentative release date for SILENCED is June 2008. But stay logged in and subscribe to this blog because I plan to start introducing snippets of Cybil, and Jane for that matter, shortly.
Trust me. These two ladies, you're going to want to know a lot about...
