I have some news. Nothing confirmed of course, as I haven't signed anything yet, but Amazon wants to buy THE SYLPH HUNTER. This is good news in my mind, of course, and my agent is trying to make it even better news as she's hoping to turn it into a three book deal. Which would mean WAR OF THE SYLPHS being released too, as well as a third book.
I've spent the last few days tossing around ideas for that third book (sixth in the series). I'm starting to get an idea of who's in it and what they're up to. It's set somewhere we've been before, if not spent a massive amount of time in, and it will have romance. I think someone might hurt me if it didn't. :p It also features one particular character readers met in ALPHABET SOUP FOR SYLPHS.
I don't promise that I'll get the three book deal as that would just be jinxing myself, but it is looking good at least for THE SYLPH HUNTER and I'm starting to get enough plot worms wiggling for the next book that I may just end up writing it regardless.
Its working title, by the way, is THE LONELY SYLPH.
Here, have a painting. I don't know who this is, but hopefully he'll introduce himself to me and tell me his story. :)
That is amazing news!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd that painting is totally yummy! He makes me weak in the knees ;)
Thanks. :)
DeleteThis is excellent news! I'm very much looking forward to any and all upcoming sylph books. I won't jinx it for you by saying "Congratulations!" I'm loving this painting, too, and intrigued that he hasn't introduced himself yet. Hmmmm. Also, I left you a message on your "My Art" page and would very much appreciate a response to that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks. So far he's a quiet one. Hasn't said a word. :)
DeleteI'll go take a look at your other comment, thanks.
Got the post on Facebook and jotted over to your website to see what's new. Glad you are still writing and I hope things go well with Amazon. I love your work and hope more is published in the future!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
DeleteWonderful news about Amazon! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE the art of the mysterious fellow. He's really intriguing and I could swear when I first looked at it you could see his eyes emerge for just a second almost like he was saying "don't look away just because I'm hidden from you....find me." Woo hoo..can't wait for his story!
Sorry for long post, but just one quick question. Hope this is ok to ask in this forum. I have been singing your praises to my local YA Book Store which has a grownup section too (amazingly this little book store also has regular book signings of pretty famous folks in the genre like Marie Lu, Maggie Stiefvater etc.) Can your books be bought by local bookstores too or is it exclusive to Amazon now? Thanks L.J. for any info. I can give them. :)
Thanks for the comments. :)
DeleteAs to your question, from what I've been led to believe, all three books are going to be rereleased in paperback in 2013 and they will be available for brick and mortar stores to sell, so yes, you should be able to get hold of them. I just don't know when yet.
Great! Thanks so much. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the painting!
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers for a three book contract. Was just thinking a couple of days ago that it was about time for me to revisit the sylphs. :-)
Well, I hope you enjoy revisiting them. :)
DeleteLast I heard, Amazon wants to try just the one book for now, but my agent is working on swaying them over. I'm just waiting to hear either way.
Great News!!! Need more Sylph books! Love the painting. If we get book six will Razz be in it? Please.
ReplyDeleteRazz? I don't think so. I'm not quite sure how I'd work him in. Who knows, though, something might occur.
DeleteIt was a different character I was talking about. :)
Where/when can I buy The Sylph Hunter in epub?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, much as I wish otherwise, Amazon doesn't play well with others. You can only get ebooks from them in their format.
