My mindless chatter can be found at Access Romance’s All A-Blog today.

For those too lazy to click on the link - you know who you are - I offer two book sales from Publishers Marketplace. First, a wonderful multi-book deal for a debut author by an agency that seems to make impressive deals every single day:

Debut author Marley Gibson’s four untitled books in a series about a group of collegiate sorority sisters, to Angelle Pilkington and Karen Chaplin at Puffin, in a nice deal, by Deidre Knight at The Knight Agency (world.)

Second, ignoring the haven’t-I-just-read-this feeling I get from the plot description, here’s one in the $251,000-$499,000 advance range:

Lesley Downer’s THE LAST CONCUBINE, an epic saga following the life of one girl and spanning the second half of the 19th century in Japan (dubbed Gone With the Wind in Japan), to Selina Walker for Transworld, in a significant deal, at auction, by Bill Hamilton of A.M. Heath (UK/Commonwealth, excl. Canada).

Canadian rights to Penguin at the London Book Fair, also by Hamilton. French rights to Presses de la Cite, in a pre-empt; Greek rights to Oceanida, in a pre-empt, by Sara Fisher and Jennifer Custer of A.M. Heath, with auctions underway in Spain, Holland and Germany.
