Saturday Special: Announcements!

So I have an announcement. And I've never been very good at this sort of celebratory me-centric "hey, look at me! I'm a writer and I'm just doing my job by selling stories, but I still want you to go crazy with me!" type of post, so I'm just going to say it and let you all do what you want with this news.

I wrote a young adult romantic comedy novella. It's called Twin Sense.
Yes, there are twins in it. And romance. And humor.
It was acquired by Musa Publishing for their YA imprint.
I dropped the mother of all f-bombs when I got the news. That's right, I said "finally!" (because waiting to hear back from an editor is hard, no matter how many times you've done it before).
Twin Sense is tentatively set to release in December 2012.

I don't have any more details than that yet (and the ones I do have may very well change). When I do know more (or if anything changes), I'll pass it along to you.

That's all for now. *blows kisses*

Have a wonderful weekend, and above all else, HAPPY WRITING!
~Lydia
