I Sold My First Novel!

I’ve been sitting on this news since before Christmas, but now that everything is finalized, I can finally announce:

I’ve sold The Bone Flower Throne to Panverse Publishing! It’s the first book in my feminist retelling of the myths and legends surrounding the Toltec priest-king Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, and it’s scheduled to be published in late summer, early fall. WorldCon might actually be necessary this year, so I can do some lead-up promotion.

I’m planning to do that Next Big Thing meme about it in the next week or so, so stay tuned to find out more about the book.

Fantastic news! Huge congratulations!!! I’ve really enjoyed the Panverse novella anthologies, and it’s great to see them publishing novels now too.

That’s fantastic Traci. Patience and hard work pays off.

Plus Panverse has great covers.

Thanks Chris and Jim! I’m very excited to be working with Panverse. It’s been very cool watching it grow from idea to a full-blown novel publisher.

Wonderful! I remember reading all your posts about your agent search, and I was just recently wondering how your novel was doing. I look forward to reading it!

I’m here via Aliette de Bodard’s link, and I have to say Toltec fantasy sounds excellent. I definitely look forward to reading this.
