More than one friend was rather proud of me last night. Rather than rush into signing a contract, I considered the changes the publisher wanted and, with the help of some informed readers, decided they had a point but weren’t entirely correct. I sent a proposal regarding the changes I was prepared to make. They’ve agreed! :-)

I’m very pleased to say that Loose-Id have just contracted “Cosmic” a m/m/f sci-fi novel. I’m delighted that these guys will get to see the light of day and I will have a few names to thank in the dedication. Cosmic was a short story of mine that I wrote many years ago. I think I always saw the potential to explore the romantic side of the plot but I never envisioned exploring it in quite the way the story turned out. It was due to a few “whispers in my ear” that the story changed direction from the way I originally intended, but it’s given the plot greater depth and emotion. This won’t be going into the schedule just yet, and I have to resubmit the first two chapters in a way that makes everyone happy (especially me), but I’ll keep you posted on progress.
