Thanks VIKLIT |
This week has been busy. I weeded the garden, cleaned the deck, de-fleaed the cat and signed a contract for my young adult book, Double Negative.
Thanks, EVERNIGHT TEEN for taking on one of my books.
Their plan is to publish an eBook in July, and if I sell a couple, they’ll put it up as POD paperback.
So I have lots of things to CELEBRATE this Friday.

If you can give me a hand spreading the word, I’d love it. I don’t have specific dates yet, but as soon as I do I’ll contact anyone who leaves a comment saying they’d like to help.
And here I was planning on taking it easy in June. Guess not this year.
Have you joined the WRITE CLUB yet? No? Well, get cracking. You have until May 31 to sub your entry and enter the fray. Talk it up a bit, too. #writeclub2014

I leave you with this to consider: “I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.”

Manzanita says
Congratulations on your coming book. It must be the pinnacle of excitement to finally see the hours of writing sprout to life.
Defleaing a cat….they say there are no fleas in Montana, but I don't believe them. Ha
klahanie says
Hi Lee,
You are one multitasking lady. Getting read of fleas would be at the top of my list. Well, ones on a cat.
Of course I shall spread the good news. Like your other starstruck, adoring fans, I'm glad to be of some assistance.
Take it easy, eh.
Your starstruckest fan,
Gary π
klahanie says
Oops, getting "rid" of fleas. Although I have read about fleas….

Very creative and I love the video. This looks like a very intriguing book–I have known some 12 yr. bad boys in my classroom.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Truth be known, I'm partial to bad boys.
Angela Brown says
Congrats on your contract with Evernight Teen! I've been considering them for a YA dystopian, but I fear interest in dystopian may be too far gone.
And I'd be happy to offer assistance. I haven't been able to do a whole lot with some of the things I've been juggling, but I think I'm getting to a better point in my writing/revising/editing situation.
Southpaw says

Woohoo!!! Congrats, Lee, that's such awesome news! July is really quick. They must think it's awesome and needs no changes. Cool. I'm so excited for you!! I love the final quote. I do that. :/
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Lexa. July is way quick. I'm in a bit of a panic and I thought I'd outgrown panic. Guess not.
Melissa says
I thought, for a minute, this was going to be a grammar lesson (or a bad grammar award). LOL Congratulations!!!
You know I'm here and willing to do whatever I can to help you. Just say the word. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
I think the book might have some grammar lessons in it. Hope people don't fall face down reading it. π Thanks for your offer of help. You're on.
DEZMOND says
oooh, a new contract! There's nothing more beautiful than a lovely smell of freshly signed contract! Are we getting a six digit payment? No? What? You should ditch your agent and hire Dezzy as your representative π … not that it would help you in any way…….
C. Lee McKenzie says
Ah, yes, six digit payments. Maybe one day. You're hired.
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Hi Lee . .that's great news re the publication and sounds an excellent way of proceeding … looks like they'll be putting up into their POD …

C. Lee McKenzie says
Onward, Hilary. I think that's been said before, but it bears repeating. π
Lynn Proctor says
yay that' great lee! that last thought has me thinking—good one!

Thanks, Catherine.
River Fairchild says
Congrats, Lee! I'll be lined up to buy it for sure. No rest for you, but that's probably a good thing. I can't imagine what kind of mischief you'd get into if you had idle time on your hands. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, River. Mischief? Me? Hard to imagine.
Stephanie Faris says
