In which Tumperkin permits herself a small celebration and announces a brief blogging hiatus

Imagine me, if you will, in this hat. A party horn clamped between my teeth.

Why, you ask?

Well, I've accepted an offer from Carina Press to publish my MS with likely publication in October this year!

I'm beyond thrilled! Have had a few weeks to get used to the idea now but still feel like laughing hysterically whenever I think about it. The next few weeks, however, are going to be busy. I've got edits to turn around in the next three weeks.

So, with that in mind, I've decided to have an Official Blogging Hiatus. I'll be back, hopefully, in a month or so. Will still be reading blogs and on Twitter. Just not here.

Congratulations, Tumperkin!!!!

I forgot that you wrote fiction, so this announcement was a double surprise for me, but I'm also doubly looking forward to reading your book.

Thankee doodle dandy to you all!

That OK from the publisher has to be one of the most "out of this world" moments. What a great accomplishment and many congratulations. Thanks for sharing your special moment with us all and we will be happy when you return. Enjoy your blog a lot even though I don't comment as often as I should.

Very late to the party but wanted to say "Congratulations!" *hands Tumperkin a virtual bottle of aged rum and a noisemaker*

I'm late here (though I think I congratulated you on Twitter), but wanted to say that I am definitely interested in reading your book. Your posts about books are always thought provoking and our tastes are similar enough that I am looking forward to getting my hands on your book. Any word on the title, pen name and pub date?

Tumperkin said...

Thank you!

Janine - title is still up for grabs - though will hopefully be settled soon and publication date is 3rd Oct all going well! Pen name is Joanna Chambers.

Janine Ballard said...

Thanks!

Hey Tumperkin! I'm very behind on my blogging so just saw this. CONGRATULATIONS!! I think it's absolutely awesome that you're going to publish. I can't wait to read your book. :)
