Big and Awesome News

Thursday, May 9, 2013

I know I've said this already, but the last few weeks? They've been made of some crazy, amazing, awesome things! I have two announcements. Are you ready?

I've signed with Rebecca Friedman of the Hill Nadell Agency. She will now represent my work and handle all inquiries about rights. I'm very excited about working with Rebecca. She's read and loved Suddenly Royal and has the same goals for the books as I do. I can't wait to see where we go together!


In other news... last night I received early news that SUDDENLY ROYAL hit the New York Times Bestseller List (#16 on the efiction list and #22 on efiction and print combined list)... AND the USA Today Bestseller List!


So, my life lately?

I may have done a Dory impressions...




And some screaming on the phone...




And this is what it looked like when I told my sister...



Because, you know, this is a dream come true!


To celebrate all of this awesome I want to do a quick giveaway! So, leave a comment, telling me something that has made you happy this week and I will randomly choose a winner for a signed paperback of Suddenly Royal with some swag! Entries close on Sunday, May 12 @ Midnight PST. (International, too!)

 
Massive hugs and kisses to everyone that has supported me and Suddenly Royal!

    The thing that has made me happiest this week is the fact that spring has finally arrived, I got to spend time over the weekend sitting in my garden enjoying the sunshine & reading which felt like heaven and we also managed to have our first barbecue of the year which always feels good.

  21. It makes me happy when great things happen for my friends. Even though we may not talk as often as we used to, it still makes me happy when they are happy.

  22. CONGRATULATIONS, NICHOLE! I am SO happy for you! I loved Suddenly Royal (I kinda want to go and re-read it :P)

    What made me the happiest this week? My 3 year old niece. Sigh.
    I don't get to see her very often and yesterday when she came to visit, she and I played monster. She was the monster and it was just... the moment had no words to describe it. All I could do was pretend to cower and hide my smile. She has this uber cute face so her trying to be scary--with all of her might--was just the most precious thing ever.

  34. Am so happy to have found Suddenly Royal on the top of Amazon's list two days ago. It was a fantastic read and I could hardly put it down!

    What I am most happy about is being home from college in DC for a month, back in the mountains of Colorado with my family, especially my mother! Spending quality time with her these past few days has been amazing, she is such a rock and inspiration in my life, and truly the best friend and mother I could ever ask for.
