Sirrý Sig. is signing a book contract today!

When we first met, it was through our writing on rithringur.is (CritiqueCircle.com).
Actually this story, Thorey wants to be a Princess, was one of the first stories written by Sirrý Sig. that Hildur Enóla read. It´s a beautiful very kind and friendly story about a girl spending the day with her grandmother. They do normal things all day but make everything seem a bit magical and the whole story just shines with love and maternal affection. Hildur Enóla instantly knew that this story would be published some day, and this is how she ended her critique, six and a half year ago:

How will you go about the illustrations?  Are you going to leave that up to the publisher? Do you have an artist in mind? Can you illustrate yourself? 
I´m looking forward to hearing how things go and will be keeping an eye out for the next story about Thorey.

Well, now it´s six and a half years later, and the contract is being signed today.

Sirrý Sig. Congratulations!
