my HUGE news!!!

Okay guys, I know you've all been waiting so lovingly and patiently for this moments (just as I have), but I finally have permission to share my phenomenally awesome cool news!


So you know that book I wrote? The one about Faery Godmothers? And British royalty?
It's getting published! By HarperTeen. Ah, I can't believe I just typed those words. Yes, HarperCollins bought my book LUMINANCE HOUR (working title) and its sequel!! As of now the book is slated to come out in Summer 2013.


This is the PM announcement:


Ryan Graudin's LUMINANCE HOUR, in which a partying prince falls for a Kate Middletonesque fae, who has been protecting the royal family for centuries, and who must make an impossible choice amidst a backdrop of a palace murder and paparazzi mayhem, to Alyson Day at Harper Teen, in a very-nice deal, in a two-book deal, by Alyssa Eisner Henkin at Trident Media Group (NA).

I know this post is just a quick blip, I'll be throwing up another post soon describing exactly how the book was sold. But I'm so excited to finally talk about it and officially celebrate it with you all!

    Thanks everyone! I'm so grateful for each and every one of you. Kate and E.Maree, for the awesome critiques y'all give me. Gennifer, for the inspirational story and encouragement. And The Thompsons, for all of the love and guidance (and Jesus) you gave me in high school.

    oMG!! Congrats! Wow! And you're coming out in the summer, and I'm in spring! Dang, too bad we weren't w/the same pub, or we could've done book tours together. LOL. I'm sooooo happy for you and proud of you!
