Happy Wednesday! (And boy is it!) I'm still too busy to blog, but Mischief people are not to busy to have awesome news!
First, Natasha Solomons's debut novel was released in the UK (where it is called MR ROSENBLUM'S LIST) by Sceptre on April 1st! The US release date is June 21 (Reagan Arthur books is publishing it under the title MR ROSENBLUM DREAMS IN ENGLISH). I've asked Natasha if she'll do a guest post in June, and she's offered to talk about generating word-of-mouth publicity for novels.
Second, Caroline Starr Rose's middle grade novel-in-verse, MAY B, sold to Nicole Geiger at Tricycle! It's releasing Fall 2011. (I just noticed Caroline is represented by my friend Michelle Humphrey--now I'm doubly excited about this deal!)
Two people to congratulate! Keep the good news comin', folks :)

About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

Awesome. Congrats! :)
Yeah for good news today!!!
I love hearing good news! Congrats!!
Congrats to all!
Congrats on the great news! Michelle Humphrey is my agent also, so I can attest to her awesomeness. Glad to hear she's a friend of yours, Moonie - I'm going to tell her how I changed your life a few weeks back; I'm sure she'll be delighted to hear about our connection.
Joanne--HA! Do!! My life wasn't the only one changed! I've told like 600 people since then!
Congrats! Happy dancing for you both!
Wonderful news! Thanks for sharing your endeavors in the publishing world, Moonrat!!
Thanks so much everyone! And thanks for the posting, Moonrat. Proud to be part of the Mischief...
Just thought I'd mention Nathan Bransford has done a 'book gap' post so of course i plugged the FITG
Yes i'm shameless
mwahahahaahaha
Excellent news!! Congratulations to all!
Congratulations to Natasha and Caroline! I've been following Caroline for quite some time...I'll have to check out Natasha.
Good luck on getting caught up, so you can blog again. :)
Is it just me, or is the US title far more of a "grab" than the UK title? As a British reader, I know I'm now more likely to pick up "Mr Rosenblum's List" because I know its US title sounds interesting... Weird.
Congratulations! I wish I had good news to share too. Next time around I'm sure I will.
Good to hear some folks are making progress. I've just been spinning my wheels. And not very fast either.
Yay for all the good news! And congrats again to Caroline. May I also just add that Michelle Humphrey: best agent evah.
Squee! Love me some good news :) Keep it coming!
MAY B - middle grade novel in verse - I'm going to have to check that out.
Moonie, thanks!! And now that I know you and Michelle are friends, I'm going to be grilling her about your identity...
