Hey everyone!
It feels like I haven't been on the forum in months. I've been so busy, it's hard to keep track of everything.
I think last I told most of you I had signed a contract for a manuscript with Harlequin publishing. That book is due to be released in July under the pseudonym Zaide Bishop. This week I received an offer from them to sign a SEVEN BOOK CONTRACT.
Can you say 'woot'!?
It's for a series--the first book of which is written and already submitted to my editor. The manuscripts for the series are novellas and I have agreed to write one every two months. So I have 12 months to write six manuscripts.
That's okay. I didn't like sleeping or socialising anyway!
The first book of the new series is due for release in early 2013--though I think they may bump it forward for christmas sales. They're going to release them one a month after that, so by mid 2013 I will have 8 books released. Mind boggling, eh?
When it happens, it happens fast.

Well done Talitha, I guess giving up uni was worth it. Now you won't have time to think about anything but characters.

Way to go Talitha - onward and upward. You will be a very busy girl, but nothing like a deadline to motivate your writing. Won't be surprised if we don't hear from you for another long time.
