Published!

They've only gone and offered me a publishing deal for my novel! How great is that! I am very very very very very excited indeed.

The novel (The Satanic Diaries) started out right here on ABCtales a few years ago, so can I say a big thank you to everyone who has read / commented on it in that time. Without the encouragement that I got here I wouldn't have even dreamt of turning it into a novel, so thank you :) You all rock!

I will update further re release date etc when I know myself.

Woohoo!

Thanks Moya, thanks Scratch! It's still hard to take in, to be honest :) As for pointers, all I can say is to keep trying and to not be put off by rejections. Everyone gets rejected at first. Just keep sending it out there until you find someone who likes it! Kris

It is now time for me to drop the pretence, to stop the dis ingenuity. I am posting here under the pseudonym 'scratch' but my real name is Mantel, Hilary Mantel.

Well my name is Maureen but only on Sundays between 12 and 5. When the wife is out!

Thanks guys! It was Netherworld who accepted it in the end. Given the subject matter of the book that's a very fitting match up :) Since we're being honest about our identities here I'd better own up to the fact that my real name is Hartley. J R Hartley.

Ahh, thank you everybody! Your encouragement means a lot :) With the talent that's here on ABC I'm sure that I won't be the only round here getting published, so I'm rooting for you all too. And I'll be sure to namecheck you all when I get my Man Booker Prize! Thank you, Kris

ooh big congratulations Kris! Don't forget to pass it along will you - all the encouragement you received... pass it along to someone else here. There are quite a few people who write in that genre and i'm sure you could do a lot of good. Well done again!

Cloven Hoof

Thank you! I certainly will be passing it along - I know how heartening it can be to get that encouragement. Sometimes that's the difference between writing and not writing. It's why sites like this are so important, I think. Everyone needs a boost now and then!

Hooray! The Satanic Diaries is available at last! (On Ebook anyway - the paperback version is taking a bit longer to filter through the system!) You can get the Kindle version here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Satanic-Diaries-ebook/dp/B00BUD1JMO/ref=sr_1... And other Ebook formats from Smashwords here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/295676 The only paperback link I've found so far is Barnes and Noble here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/satanic-diaries-krister-jones/1114840667... I'll update with the main Amazon link to the paperback when it is up and running. Thank you in advance to anyone who is kind enough to buy a copy! You'll be making a hopeful young author very happy :) Kris ......................... www.thesatanicdiaries.net Http://afteriwaspublished.wordpress.com
