YAY!
A year ago, this was entry #192 on Query Shark. The book went out on submission earlier this month, and then to auction last Wednesday.

Woot, I am the first person to add it on Goodreads. Good! I've been waiting for this book ever since I saw your pitch.
This is awesome, awesome news! Congrats!!!
So so SOOO COOL! I can't wait to read it! :D CONGRATS!
CONGRATS! *throws confetti* =)
Congratulations! I think anyone who's seen the pitch for this book has pretty much been salivating at the idea of it finally getting a pub date.
Congrats!! As someone who has known your writing for a long, long time, this is another well deserved deal!! Can't wait to read it.
Ahhh, I remember the query for that! So glad you sold it. Congratulations!
I can't tell you how pleased I am to see this! Congratulations!
Very excited for you!
Yaaaayy!! *throws confetti* Congratulations! I remember reading the query and the first page around the interwebz. I'm so psyched to read the rest. Well deserved!
Congrats!
You know, I think I remember seeing the query for this back then too. If I recall the Shark mentioned how it broke all the rules and she'd STILL request it. (If I'm wrong and remembering a different query, just go with it)
I adored that query. I absolutely cannot wait to read your book! Many congratulations, you just made my week!
That is so dang cool! I am so happy for you. Query Shark, Suzie Townsend, Publisher's Marketplace...you've been busy:)
Congratulations! I read your query on Query Shark and have been wondering what happened. Yay! I'm excited to read it!
Fantastic news! Congratulations!
I, too, remember your query. Way to go!!! Congrats :)
Such good news! Go celebrate.
You can haz my YAY! :) Congrats--I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I've been following this all the way, and knew an auction was in your future! Congrats!
I remember it, too! Congratulations!
Add me to the list of people who remember your query and knew you'd have success! Congrats!
Sincerest congrats!
I remember reading your query on QS and thinking, I can't wait for that book to come out! It just seems like a great story, and it seemed inevitable that it would find its way into print. I've been poking around your blog and it looks awesome. I'm glad to have found it... and all thanks to the shark ;)
I still remember #192! Can't wait to buy this.
Thanks everyone. :-)
I remember this entry from Query Shark and thinking I would KILL to read this book. So excited I will get to! Congrats.
I'm SO excited for you - CONGRATULATIONS!! It's been a long time since I've preordered a book, but I will be doing it with this one.

This is the only query I remembered completely from Query Shark because it was SO AWESOME! Hooray! Can't wait to read this!!
I'm so excited for you I'm actually crying! I can't wait to buy and read it. It's been fun watching you post the query on here and then on Query Shark. I think all of us knew then that this day would come.
Congratulations!!!
Congrats!!! Dude, you're going to be all sorts of famous in '13. :D
Congrats!!
Big congratulations!
CONGRATS! I've heard wonderful things about Suzie! :)
Congratulations, Josin! :)
Awesome news, Josin! Congratulations! The only downside is that I have to wait way too long to read Premeditated.
Woot! Congratulations!
Never hid that this was my preference of your WIPs. I mean, I'm all for ARCLIGHT and I hope Greenwillow drops some ARCS out to B&N so I can get my hands on one, but *this* is my top anticipated read for 2013.
Congratulations, Josin!
Congrats! This book is FANTASTIC, and I can't wait until I purchase a proper copy and fangirl to everyone.
SO thrilled for you! What a phenomenal year. You deserve it!
Congrats to you! I remember this query and it was awesome. Not surprised at all!
Squeeee!
Big congrats for you!!!
YES!
I remember seeing this on AW and Query Shark and hoping, hoping, hoping it would sell.
SO excited omg!
I've actually been looking for this book since I saw your query on query shark last year. I wish I could write/query like that.
Yup, the elegant menace of that query on QS stuck in my mind (and in many others, it seems.) Congratulations on the sale. It is great to see your hard work being so well rewarded.
YAY!!! *jumping jacks*
Congrats! I have been following your comments on several blogs we have in common (but I promise I am not a stalker) and am not surprised. You seem savvy, have a unique, edgy voice and a knack for story and your audience. I hope you go far.
It is uplifting to see that someone who works hard, has talent, and a love for the craft and art of writing is getting the break they deserve. Keep it up.
Holy smokes! CONGRATULATIONS!
*breaks into a happy dance*
DUDE! I remember seeing this on Absolute Write, I do believe, even before it showed up on the Shark's blog! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I remember this on Query Shark. Too awesome! YaY!
YESSSSS! You are now my hero! :)
Congrats! I read your query on Query Shark as well. SO excited for you!!
Congratulations! We're pub house sibs! Everyone at Delacorte is SOOOOO nice. You're in excellent hands.
Congratulations! I own a kids' bookstore in Canada. I read your post on Query Shark a few months ago and am thrilled that your book is going to be published - we can't wait to have it on our shelves.
I remember reading that query and saying "wow", congratulations on the book deal.
I am so excited for this book! I (like many others) found you through your posting on QueryShark, and immediately went in search of the book. Congratulations!!! I can't wait to read it!
Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!
And I remember that query letter...it's how I discovered you!! Eeek, can't wait!!!!!!!!
Like a lot of other well-wishers, I recently read your memorable (and inspiring!) query on Query Shark. It is so heartening to hear your wonderful publication news! I hope you celebrated in style. Congratulations and I look forward to reading your novel.
