My Book Deal Announcement!

I'm so happy to announce the awesome news that I've signed a two-book publishing contract with Month9Books! It's for my MG Fantasy novel, GABRIEL STONE AND THE DIVINITY OF VALTA. It's set to release January 1st, 2013, and its sequel will release January, 2014.

Honestly, this is so surreal, special, and exciting for me! There aren't really enough adjectives to describe how happy I am about it. I wrote this story for my son, Gabriel, and for many reasons, I'm happy it will be published, but because of that, it makes it extra special for me. *throws confetti and hollers*

Below is the announcement as written in Publishers Marketplace.


Children's:
Middle grade 
Author of SPECTRAL, Shannon Duffy's GABRIEL STONE AND THE DIVINITYOF VALTA, in which a twelve-year-old, still reeling from the disappearance of his mother, discovers a magical crystal that unlocks a portal into a parallel world, and a secret that will change his life forever, to Georgia McBride at Month9Books, in a two-book deal, for publication in January 2013, by Lauren Hammond of ADA Management Group, .
