December reading list
On my bedside table in December (* = adult readers only)
*The Lost Recipe for Happiness by Barbara O'Neal (finished this already, a satisfying read - the protagonist is a chef with a characterful dog)
Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees (an old fantasy classic)
*Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie (if you like your fantasy dark and twisted, this one's for you)
Non-fiction choice for the month: Druid Mysteries by Philip Carr-Gomm
New Title
The new and official title for my next novel is SEER OF SEVENWATERS.
This is the book formerly known as SONG OF THE ISLAND. The seer in the title is Sibeal.

Future Projects
I'm consolidating all the info about future projects here, in the hope that people will read it rather than keep asking me the same questions:
Current Project: a Sevenwaters book to follow Heir to Sevenwaters. Publication date, December 2010. I have a contract to write another Sevenwaters novel to follow this one.
Wildwood series: it is very likely I will write a third book in the series. The earliest it could be published would be late 2011.
Bridei series: currently on hold, though I have ...
Publication dates
The anthology Australian Legends of Fantasy, edited by Jack Dann and Jonathan Strahan, and including my Sevenwaters novella, 'Twixt Firelight and Water, will be published by HarperCollins Australia in July 2010.
The US paperback edition of Cybele's Secret will be published in spring 2011. I have no control over the delay between the hardback and paperback editions.
Heart's Blood released
November 3 was the official publication date for the American and Australian editions of Heart's Blood. I've been getting some great feedback on the book already.
You'll find an interview with me about the book on Writer Unboxed. My regular monthly post, about constructing a novel from a fairy tale, was posted a couple of days later.
French covers for Daughter of the Forest
Visit the Daughter of the Forest page, under the Books heading, to see the lovely covers for L'Atalante's recent French edition. The novel has been divided into two books, so we get two covers, one featuring Sorcha and the swans, and one Sorcha and Finbar. The art work is by Benjamin Carre.

On Nov 21, you'll find Heart's Blood subjected to The Page 69 Test on this intriguing blog:
