I have been waiting and waiting for the opportunity to share this good news, and today I finally got the go-ahead from my agent to tell the world about it --
I have sold two more faery books to Orchard, my wonderful publisher in the UK!
Like Knife and Rebel, these next two novels will be more or less complete stories in themselves, but (like Rebel) they are also sequels to the earlier books, so we'll be seeing some familiar characters and plot threads cropping up as well.
If all goes well, then Arrow, the third book, will hit bookstores in the UK and Commonwealth in 2011 and Swift, the fourth volume, in 2012.
My delighted thanks to the good folks at Orchard Books UK, and to all the enthusiastic and loyal young readers, librarians, teachers and booksellers overseas who have helped to make my faery books a success!

Date: 2009-12-09 07:57 pm (UTC)OTT... i have the hardest time posting comments on your blog! the interface never quite loads properly, everyone's icons appear in random places, and I get confused with all the embedded scroll bars and can't find the buttons I'm looking for. I've changed computers but I have the same trouble on the new one. So sometimes I don't manage to congratulate you when congrats are due! I think I've pulled it off this time...
congratulations!

Date: 2009-12-09 08:25 pm (UTC)I'm sorry that should be necessary, though! And I will try to get to the bottom of whatever's causing the problem.

Many, many congrats, Rebecca! I'm getting Knife for my niece for Christmas (she loves anything fairy) and I can't wait to tell her that there are more books planned!
