My Unicorn Books . . . Coming in 2013 from Sourcebooks!

So . . . on Monday I was at judo practice supposedly practicing a new turn-over with my friend Jenna, but really joking about husbands and their crazy ideas. I noted that my husband has a way of following through with his crazy ideas—like starting our judo club, for example.

“Just think,” Jenna said, “If he’d never done that, you’d probably be writing about unicorns or something!”

I stopped short. Jenna’s read my martial arts-inspired novels, and she was totally kidding. “I did write a book about unicorns,” I whispered, “and it’s going to acquisitions at Sourcebooks on Wednesday!”

Just like that, I spilled it, then swore her to secrecy.

But now I can shout to the world:

I have a two-book deal from Sourcebooks!

On Wednesday Afternoon, Editor Aubrey Poole called me with an offer for the manuscript I’d called Unicorns of Lonehorn Island, plus a follow-up book, and I’m thrilled to be working with her!

The first book is tentatively titled Wonder Light and will be out in paperback in Spring 2013! Yay! In bookstores and libraries! Woohoo!
