I have a 3-book deal with Del Rey
Okay, so my agent tells me they announced the deal on Publisher's Marketplace today, so:

Del Rey has purchased my first novel Spellbent and two of its sequels. I believe their tentative plan is to release Spellbent in early-to-mid 2009 and the other books in the trilogy will of course come later.

I'm entirely geeked about this. I got into science fiction and fantasy partly as a result of reading Del Rey authors such as Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley, so I'm pretty darn happy to have become a Del Rey author myself.

	I believe a WOOT is in order. :) The only Del Rey authors I remember reading as a kid were Alan Dean Foster (not just the Star Wars stuff) and Terry Brooks, although there may have been more. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Congratulations. Del Rey was one of the first two imprints I was aware of (DAW being the other, thanks to the yellow spines), so I was thrilled that the first major paid work I did in the field was with Del Rey (and my first books were DAW). (Reply to this)(Thread)
