Some good news on a busy day
Taught my first two classes at KVCC today (PSI 100 and 101). While I was preparing for my first class and at KVCC, I checked my email and got some great news (more about that later). So I taught my two classes and then headed off to the Herald to prepare the newspaper for tomorrow. Then about 6pm, I finally got to go home.
Well, a couple of things. First, I think my computer is about to collapse. It's been making strange grinding sounds for about a week now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't tell if it's one of the fans or the hard drive itself. The sound doesn't continue non-stop, so I can't use my old method of just unplugging the hard drive and listening to hear if it's still making the sound. It gets really aggravating because it feels like my computer is about to just stop working. I really don't want to buy a new one right now. Money is okay, but I'd like to avoid stupid spending if possible.
Anyway, back to the email I received. My novel, Thompson's Bounty, was accepted for publication. It could take anywhere near a year for the actual publication, but they're going to send me a hard copy contract, and then it will begin the publishing process.
This is the first science fiction novel I've had published. My last novel was a mystery/suspense novel.
Aside from that, another rejection from an agent for one of my other books, but that's kind of expected these days. Just gotta keep sending out the queries.
Stumble It!
