The book has been pushed back again, to 2014.
I've actually known about this for months, but when I first heard, I was pretty bummed. When it was pushed back to fall 2013 I was like, well, okay. But NOW, I hate that I have no book in 2013 for you, dear readers, especially since I actually write pretty fast, most of the time. But this past year has definitely been out of the ordinary, and truly, I am glad my editor wanted to push the book back to give it the time it needs to be the best book it can be. It's better to wait and have a great book.
But I know, it is still a bummer. I am feeling broke and un-famous. But it's probably been good for my creative process. A kind of re-centering.
However, I also have some nifty news. The book has a new title, and I love it!! It is...
LIT BY SHADOWS!
It hasn't gone through marketing yet so there is a wee chance it could change, but...I think it is so evocative! I had nothing to do with choosing it, of course, because I am the WORST with titles and I try to push that job into someone else's hands as much as possible. Pleeeeease, I will write the book, just do not make me title it!!! I gave Hyperion a list of words and they came back with this, which I simply adore. I hope you like it too!

I can't wait to read it, no matter when it comes out. But I so want an ARC as soon as they're available!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many ARCs Hyperion sends since they're new for me or how their publicists are (I've heard good things!), but I will certainly try and see that you get one!
DeleteI'm still very excited to read it, and I love the new title.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad!
