Wish me luck. My agent has submitted Deep Six (and, ergo, the entire Just Cause Universe series) to editors at two publishers. If I'm extremely fortunate, both publishers will make an offer, which means that we go to an auction and they bid for the rights. I'd be ecstatic if just one of them takes it. Honestly, so long as my work winds up on bookstore shelves, I'd be okay with the publishing equivalent of the Mrs. Grace L. Ferguson Airline and Storm Door Company (tip of the hat to Bob Newhart for that one).

But I'd prefer a big publisher. Who wouldn't, in this industry?

Anyway, it could be anywhere from a month to a year (or *gulp* even longer) before anybody gets to my stuff. I'm hopeful that we might have an answer by mid-Fall.

In other news, I've decided on a title and genre for my 2009 NaNoWriMo book. I'm not giving away details (those of you who've talked with me outside of the blogosphere certainly know more about it), but the book will be called Blood on the Ice and in a genre I'm calling Urban Fantasy Hockey.

Yeah, it'll be funny.
