So, those of you who look in on the blogs will know this already, but I'm going to announce it here too.

allmywires and myself have signed with Torquere Press. The contract is for our novel, Otherworld, which is a contemporary fantasy, mainly, but with a m/m romance going on between the two MCs.

It's about an artifact known as the 'prism' (cos, well, it's a prism) which can transport the soul of the person who touches it into the after life, or 'otherworld.'

James, son of the Celtic Goddess Cliona (based on Clíodhna and Fand), has taken the prism and ran away to England to work as a fisherman with his dad. However, nasty Irish gangster Davey McGrath is after the prism and sends our other hero, posh boy William (aka Liam) to get it back.

Cue Liam and Jim falling for one another and all sorts of shenanigans as they run from the law, gangsters, and James's scary mother.

No release date or cover art to reveal yet, but I'll come back to do that when I know. As of now, we're sorting out tax forms and waiting to be assigned an editor.

I'm writing under the name 'Emma Jane' (which is my name, I've just dropped my surname) and I'm wondering if I should set up a separate Goodreads page with my pen name? I already have one for the name on my other books.
 
That certainly sounds like the pen-name of a m/m author! Given this is pretty far from YA fantasy, a separate page might be a good idea. Although TBM is closer to this than Malinas,

Deserved congratulations again to you both!
 
Congrats, Mouse :)

If there's a significant divergence of audience expected between your previous books and this, then a separate account on Goodreads would probably make sense.

You'll remember us when HBO make a seven series show about your books, won't you?
 
Mouse loves us. She won't forget us. (Whether she'll acknowledge us once she's a celebrity is another thing.)

Mouse, it all sounds very exciting!
 
I do love you all loads.

Thanks, guys!

That's what I thought!

Yeah, I want to be like Neil Gaiman really and just be able to use one name for all of it! But yeah. I use E.J. Tett for the Malinas (YA) books, but also for TBM and my short stories - most of the older ones of which are horror.
 
Yay, congratulations to you both! I can't wait to see it! :D

(The book, or the HBO series, either one is fine.)
 
Congratulations Mouse and AllMyWires, This is wonderful news. --- I've always believed that you were going to make some major noise in the author world. I'll soon tell my friends that I've corresponded with the famous Emma Jane.:D:)
 
Yay! Ta, ta, ta and ta!

Everything's moving so sloooooowly. I want it done already! :D
 
Congratulations you two. Let's hope this is a beginning of a very successful career.

Fine.
