I am delighted to announce that my UK publisher, Orchard Books, has just signed me up for another two-book deal!
So that means that after Swift comes out in early 2012, readers in the UK and Ireland can look forward to a sequel to that book (tentatively entitled Nomad), and also a companion novel to my YA paranormal thriller Ultraviolet (tentatively entitled Quicksilver), in 2013/14.

Also in the good news department: just this very day, Knife was
announced as the winning title for this year's
Concorde Book Award!
I would love to have attended the ceremony at
Downend School in South Gloucestershire, but had to be content with sending a video acceptance speech instead (isn't technology grand?).

And now I am off to celebrate with cookies!
