Guess what!?!

February 10, 2009 Filed Under: STAY

From Publishers Marketplace:

February 9, 2009 Fiction:
General/Other
Allie Larkin’s STAY, pitched as in the tradition of Emily Giffin and Claire Cook, the story of a woman whose relationship with a loveable Slovakian German Shepherd helps her recover from heartbreak after the love of her life marries her best friend, to Erika Imranyi at Dutton, in a pre-empt, for publication in 2010, by Rebecca Strauss at McIntosh & Otis.

Yeah, that’s me. That’s my book. And I feel like the luckiest girl in the whole wide world right now, for getting to work with my awesome agent and amazing editor on this book. I love my main character so much, and I’m thrilled that she’s in such good hands.

    Big congrats, Allie!

    If the story you placed in The Summerset Review is any indication, this is a terrific novel.

    That’s incredible! Congratulations!

    Even if I disappear from blogland in the meantime, you’ll have to email me when it goes to press so I can be sure to buy a first edition.

All My Life by Evan Dando is one of my favorite so All My Life by Evan Dando is one of my favorite songs, and today when I was in the car, iTunes churned it up, and I thought, ‘I bet I can play that,’ so when I got home I did. And it was immensely satisfying. So, I thought I’d share my messy first draft, because there’s a lot of joy to be found in just doing the thing you hoped you could do. This gave me joy. Thank you, @kenwilcoxguitar for teaching me things that made this possible. #awkwardguitar #evandando #allmylife #coversong
Two things there are never enough of: 1. Delightfu Two things there are never enough of: 1. Delightful books 2. Mid-life love stories. @thenormannation has given us both. Matt and I have a running joke about our literary rivalry, but truth is he’s a truly kind, keenly observant, super smart human with a very big heart, and one of the great joys of reading his books is how beautifully all of that shines through in his writing. Charm City Rocks (out today!) is so much fun to read, and I know it will be a bright spot in your summer. You don’t even have to take my word for it. Roxy can smell a hit. #matthewnorman #charmcityrocks #bookstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram
