Big news for me. My fourth book John Dunn, Heart of a Zulu is now under contract, having been accepted for publication by Knox Robinson Publishing of London and New York!
One of the terms of the contract was something that is great for me. They want to see my next work, the Second Chance book I've been blogging about the past year. The contract say they want to see future work by me, and have first dibs, so to speak. It's not how they worded it, but that's essentially what it means. That means I've already got a publisher interested in all my future books, as well.
Not that I'm forced to have them publish my future works. The contract says that if I get a better deal somewhere else, I have the right to go with it. How nice. What a great publisher.
The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing is the half movie rights. But like I said before, I didn't invent John Dunn. He was a real life dude. The events in the book are real life events, meaning real history. All of them. So, hey, if Knox Robinson gets this made into a movie, they'll have earned the 50% of the dough. I'd have zero chance without them, so there you go.
Now to go on with the second round of edits for Killer Eyes. Just got that today, too. By the way, I did clarify that Melange has the rights to the Killer Series. Dana, (the publisher at KRP) had no problem with that. What a summer I'll have. Can't wait.
