Becca Fitzpatrick

. . . is out. 

I am no longer an agented author.  Really.  It's true. 

No, I didn't ditch my agent (she's too awesome).  It's just that as of today, I'm a soon-to-be-published author. 

*screams at ear-rupturing decibels*

From Publishers Marketplace: 

Becca Ajoy Fitzpatrick's HUSH, HUSH, a sexy and dangerous romance about a teenage girl who falls in love with a fallen angel with a dark agenda to get his wings back, to Emily Meehan at Simon & Schuster Children's, in a two-book deal, for publication in Spring 2010, by Catherine Drayton at InkWell Management. 

What makes me most emotional about this is that it really happened a lot faster than I expected.  Catherine subbed my story to editors last week . . . and two days later called saying offers were starting to roll in.  My book was going to auction! 

Well, the smoke has cleared and what's sitting before me is a once-in-a-lifetime, this-is-what-dreams-are-made-of opportunity.  Now that I've had a few days to really absorb what this means, I've gone from the squeeing-with-euphoria stage to the what-did-I-do-to-ever-deserve-this? stage.  Seriously, I'm on the brink of tears.  Fortunately, I have good friends like kaz_mahoney and patesden who reminded me of all the hard work I did over the summer . . . dreams aren't achieved without work :)

So, yeah.  Book deal.  Me.  

O.  MIGOSH.
