Thank you for the nice words & excitement re: the next picture book in the last post. More on that front soon!
While I've been proofing cute bebe feets, I've also been in the midst of editing another book...a longer book. It's a story I'd wanted to write & make real for years and years. I finally wrote it down last Spring, and my editor (who has been an important and dear and close collaborator on all my books) wanted to publish it and now I find myself at the end of a big round of revisions, and so pleased to be there.
It's my first proper novel. Though it is still short by grown up standards, it's quite a bit longer than Oddfellow's, which is really more a series of vignettes.
This one is a fairy tale.
And I will give you one hint: it's an expanded version of my favorite fairy tale. Some of you might know what that is, or might be able to hazard a guess.
It is scheduled for publication next year, 2016, and I will share dispatches and other bits as it gets closer!
PS: It will be illustrated! Mostly words, but there will be pictures too
