I'm an author!

That is still such a cool thing to declare, although I'm getting used to the idea!

As of Fall 2009, I have sold six manuscripts.  Here's the list:

a)  The City in the Lake -- YA fantasy -- from Crown (Knopf) -- on the shelf right this minute, and if you like fantasy, why not give it a try?

b)  Lord of the Changing Wind -- fantasy -- from Orbit (Little, Brown) -- completed -- to come out in the spring of 2010

c)  Land of Burning Sands -- sequel to (b), above -- juuust finished and still being revised  -- to come out the month after (b).

d)  Title not quite set -- last book of trilogy for (a) and (b) -- started! but only barely -- and I have a fairly decent notion of the plot.  This one is due to the publisher March 2010, so that'll keep me busy this winter!  Due to hit the shelves in the fall of 2010.

e)  Islands in the Sky -- another YA fantasy from Crown -- completed, unofficially accepted, and due to come out in the spring of 2011.

f)  House of Shadows -- Orbit -- completed, unofficially accepted -- to come out probably in the fall of 2011.
