Yay, more faeries!

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!

That is utterly FANTASTIC news! You can depend on me to make sure all the copies are facing front at the children's bookshop just up my road... ;)

I am honored by your enthusiasm! Just don't get kicked out of the bookshop on my account. :)

Of all the reasons why a 30-something year old man might get kicked out of a children's bookshop, I think 'displaying a friend's book prominently' is the one I would hope for, actually. :)
