Three. Book. Deal!!

The publisher at Writers AMUse ME Publishing is also interested in the two Dizzy Miss Lizzie follow-ons, Running On Empty and Cat Scratch Fever. Publisher loves the premise for both, so now all I have to do is clean them up (convert present tense into past tense - hey, it was a phase) and update them. Both were written about five years ago, so I need to make sure they are 2014-appropriate.

Details to follow as I get them.

Woohoo!!!

I can't wait until the day one of your books ends up on the Mecca shelf, so I can point to it and tell my co-workers, "Hey! I know that guy! He writes terrible promos, but he's a damn good author!"

Congratulations! If you need any more book ideas, just adapt one of Frank Tangredi's plays. I'm pretty sure he won't mind.

Congrats! When one door closes another opens.
Now you have a plot for book number 4.

Thanks, all!

I should have a new cover for Lizzie soon.

Release date is November 22 (exactly one year after Center Point).

There will be no book four because we want to keep it a middle grade series (up to age 14). I still have three other completed middle grade manuscripts (and one in the works), so I should be good to go if I can find a home for them.

Note to LB: the promos are crappy, not terrible! (so says Officer Friday).

I think they're outstanding and TPTB should pay particular attention to the talent they showcase. :mrgreen:

Little by little, you're getting there, Mr.Vandalsir. Creativity, imagination, and an excellent sense of humor is a winning combination.
