I'll just put this here....my book!

[zoemathemata]

So! regarding my previous post on fanfic, shame and identity and then discussions in the comments, I feel like I'm more than comfortable telling fandom about my real life fiction, although the other way around is still "tricky

Woo!

go you!

I am flat broke but will put it on my wish list for later. \o/

Is that a pen name? I'm just curious. :)

[zoemathemata]

Thanks!
It's my real name! I was going to go with a pen name and after asking my friends and fam the vote was pretty unanimous for "REAL NAME"

but the first time I saw it on the cover, I laughed because it seems so ridiculous/strange to see my name there!
:D

[ratherastory]

That is awesome!

[sgamadison]

EEE! Very cool--and exciting, too, yes? Congratulations! The offer to do a blog post still stands if the market matches, that is. :-)

[zoemathemata]

I'm SUPER EXCITED!

I would like to do a blog post when it's official. Looking into the urban fantasy market, I'm finding a lot of readers enjoy M/M as well. I think it could be a good crossover. what do you think?

[sgamadison]

I do, I just want to make sure that no one will get upset about going to a M/M site. Run it past your publisher, maybe? If they are cool with it, I can probably help you get a blog tour started. :-)

[zoemathemata]

I will double check with them but I don't think they'll have a problem with it and if they DO have a problem with it, I will be seriously reconsidering book 2 with them! but in all honesty, I can't see them taking issue. one of the other books they are releasing, First Light, features two m/m relationships in the book and one of the couples is quite prominent with one half being a main protagonist and the other half being VERY integral to the story.

but! I will double check!

okay, so is a blog tour like blog hopping? I DON'T KNOW ALL THE LINGO!

[melagan]

Got it! I can't wait to read it!

[zoemathemata]

WOW! that was fast! I hope you enjoy it. It's not our usual fare. Sadly, I just couldn't figure out how to add a hunky flyboy and his snarky astrophysicist boyfriend.
but there's always the sequels.....;)

[melagan]

*gigglesnort* No worries about that. It looks very cool have your name on my kindle :)

[zoemathemata]

ALL I CAN DO IS STARE AT IT [i downloaded it to my own kindle]. and I keep looking at it on Amazon!

[morganoconner]

This looks all kinds of awesome, bb!!! Congratulations on the release! :D It's on my wishlist for as soon as I have some spare dollars, I can't wait to check it out. ^_^

[zoemathemata]

THANKS! on the one hand, I've been very excited but on the other hand, I feel like I've been writing for so long that it's just another one of my stories! and I don't mean that in a "HO HUM ANOTHER STORY" way but just.... well, this is another story and they're all very dear to me! This one is no better nor worse than the others!

[twasadark]

Yay!!! Congratulations!! Very exciting!

[zoemathemata]

THANKS! I'm torn between being excited and [at times] not believing it!

[twasadark]

I'm interested to know about your experience with this publisher - they seem quite new.

[zoemathemata]

They are. I'm part of their first release. I have to say, I've had a GREAT experience with them. They are small, but I have a very good 'vibe' - which may sound strange, but I don't know how else to explain it! I saw on the LJ specfic markets that Fable was looking for submissions and I just... got a good feeling off it. and I hemmed and hawed [due to my own feet dragging about submissions] and I finally did submit and I've just had nothing but a really great experience so far
