Today, Tuesday the 26th of June, we here at Blogagaard agreed in principle to a two book deal with St. Martin's Press. THE SUICIDE COLLECTORS will be the first book released, and WORMWOOD, NEVADA (my current project) was chosen as the second on spec. We've been dreaming about this day for, well, since we were about 7 years old.
Pretty fucking sweet, huh?
Thanks you everyone for your goddamn support. You're all freaking awesome.

You're freaking awesome! Cannot wait to read them both!
Hoooo- yaaaaahhhh!!!!
Oh, wow, David. That is amazingly wonderful.
Now it's time for movie stardom, too, with Tellon!
Missy - get Todd working on finishing that movie!
Thanks, Missy and Rand.
Actually, I was in studio with Todd on Monday and we recorded all the Tellon voice over stuff, so now it's on to editing and such. Maybe Christmas? July 2008 for certain.
Great stuff, Dave! I had a feeling, but I didn't want to jinx you. It's every writer's dream, man. Soak it up.
Congratulations! That is so awesome. A two book deal? Daaaaang. Good news to move out west with!
fuck, yeah! Great big congrats! Even though we have never actually met, I feel right jolly to hear of your good news. Keep on writing, and good luck with the move!
Thanks for coming to tell us, David! This is wonderful news. Write on.
!!!!!!!!!!

congratumalations! You should start planning now exactly how you'll go about selling out. Or building some sort of scary compound in Idaho. That's what I'd do.
