Judith Tarr is doing a Kickstarter to
raise money to rewrite and publish a YA fantasy. It's cross-genre (fantasy/sf/history) and is unconventional in other ways as well, with three main characters living in different timelines. It sounds a little bit like a book I loved as a kid, Mary Stolz's
Cat in the Mirror, about a modern New York girl, a girl living in ancient Egypt, and two cats with the same name.
Judy is also known for her fabulous writing/riding/yoga
horse camp, which I can personally vouch for. Her book
Writing Horses: The Fine Art of Getting It Right is both entertaining and essential for any writer whose story includes horses. A number of her novels are now available on Kindle for $4.99.
In other news,
con-or-bust closes tomorrow. Lots of great items on offer. I put up
a Neil Gaiman picture book and
a box of fashion jewelry.
