I got the momentous news yesterday - Impaler is scheduled for March this year, and I have a cover.
This makes it all so much more real, seeing the schedule notification on the Naked Reader blog, and of course having Laura Givens cover artwork sitting in my inbox. It's almost like having the physical item (I'm old enough to be a bit of a traditionalist that way, but hey, one day...)
I'd be bouncing with excitement except that when I bounce, too much else bounces along and it doesn't stop when I do. Besides, it's fast approaching this Mad Genius's bedtime. (I'm writing this Wednesday night).

That is a *nice* cover.
Congratulations!
The teasers I've read are just awesome, can't wait to get my hands on the whole thing!
Congrats! In the immortal words of Kool and the Gang, "Celebration time, come on!"
Party ON! Well done.
Louise Curtis
Awesome cover, Kate! Enjoy!
Kudos to Naked Reader!
Ver' naice this 'oly grail :-)
Congrats Kate! May it be the door many great successesses in future!
Chris K,
Thanks :) The artist has his expression just right, I think.
Pam,
Soon - real soon now. It still doesn't seem quite real, but it's getting there.

My problem with celebrating is that not everything stops when I do. It's rather untidy - but I can and do stand at the side and tell feelthy jokes and laugh like a maniac.
Louise,
Thank you! It's one of those huge milestones in a writing career, right up there with the first time someone pays you for something you wrote.
Chris M,
Thank you - and thanks to the artist, too. I love the font she used - it's perfect.
I second the kudos to Naked Reader. And third, fourth and fifth them, too.
Dave,
Thanks! I certainly hope there'll be enough interest to justify continuing the story.
Sheesh. I'm squeeing over my first novel, and already looking ahead to the next milestone. Typical author, right?
Lovely, Kate, so excited for you!
Rowena,
Thanks!
I'm all for this proposal of yours about using a fifth to express kudos to NakedReader ... oh, wait ...
It looks GOOD. Muchas congratulations!!
Stephen,
Alas, my fifth must only be virtual - but feel free to have one or two for me!
I'll have one for you, and hold the rest till May, for my debut on NRP. :-)
Deal?
Hey Kate,
Yeah, it was me. I forgot to sign again ::sigh::.
Linda
Stephen,
Deal!
Linda,
Don't stress on it - it happens.
I didn't want to miss saying, congratulations!
Whoot!
Synova,
Thanks! It's a huge thing for me.
