... and on that note ... I'm going to go have a long, hot shower! LOL.
Following the huge success of her self-published best-seller Wait for You, hybrid author Jennifer L. Armentrout has signed a three-book, six-figure deal with HarperCollins imprint Avon for Wait for You and two other upcoming books in the series.
Prior to Wait for You, which she published under the pen name J. Lynn, Armentrout had published 13 other books with indie publishers Spencer Hill Press and Entangled Publishing. She currently has upcoming books with Harlequin (end of 2013) and Hyperion (2014). The deal was negotiated by her agent Kevan Lyon of the Solana Beach, Calif.-based agency Marsal Lyon Literary Agency and is a "major deal," the highest category in book deal database Publishers Marketplace.
Wait for You garnered Armentrout, 32, of Martinsburg, W.Va., national attention when it hit the No. 1 spot on best-seller lists, including the Digital Book World Ebook Best-Seller list. It has now held the top spot on the DBW for two weeks in a row. It's the first self-published title to be the No. 1 ebook best-seller.
