Early Summer, 2013
My latest novel, SIRENS, is now out in the world, with all launch activities done. I had the most fun creating a series of mini-histories for my “SIRENS in the time of Gatsby” blog tour (you can read them by linking through this post). Now I’m eager to dive deeper into my newest projects.
My first priority is a middle grade fantasy with historical roots – set in wartime 1940 England and Scotland, it features a steampunk witch and a “school” that isn’t. And I also have plans for a YA sci-fi set partly on the moon and partly underground on Earth in a dystopian future.
Please check my blog for the latest updates on my books, on craft and the industry, and on all things related to the world I love, the world of kidlit.
Warmest wishes – Janet
