Would this be the place where I announce my new young adult book deal?
Hi guys!

My agent just sold two of my fiction books to Simon and Schuster and I'm over the moon about it!

They are for young adults and are paranormal/supernatural with a touch of romance. The titles are in process of being changed, but I believe the first book will be called "Dreams."

The first book will be out in spring of 2008, and the sequel will follow in fall of 2008.

I just wanted to share my excitement with my DU friends...I try very hard to write strong female and male characters who would vote Democratic once they turn 18! ;-)

If you want to read a little more about the first book, you can see a blurb on my myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/lisamcmann

But you don't have to go there! I think that the pages of passionate posts I've found here on DU for the past couple years has been an incredible influence. Thanks to all for your insight!

I'm off to read a bit more about it now. I like both paranormal and romance; so will look forward to being able to read the books in future.
