MerryAnnSinglemas · 15/11/2007 12:16

that sounds like my dh - how wonderful - very envious !

michaelad · 15/11/2007 12:16

Can't really say too much just yet in case the editor decides they want to change titles and things..it's a fantasy trilogy with dragons.

Big congratulations to him. I hope to do the same myself in the not too distant future.

Look forward to hearing more when the time is right.

I promise I will post more as and when it happens. My dh is just the perfect example to illustrate that it is always worth persevering..one day it might just happen!

Fantastic news for you, congratulations

catsmother · 15/11/2007 17:27

That's wonderful. Is it the same stuff he's been writing since his teens, or do you mean he's been making various attempts since then ?

(BTW, love your cat !)

Congratulations!!!!!! How very exciting!!!!!

michaelad · 15/11/2007 19:32

catsmother, he's been writing fantasy since his teens, now has several books under his belt but the one that landed him the contract is the newest project.
And yes, we love our fluffball too!!
Expensive, but a true saint with the kids and so worth every penny!!
