WVMP #3 has a name
At ALA now (actually, I'm writing this before I leave, but let's pretend). When I return home more than a week from now, I have ten days to finish the third WVMP book, which is now officially titled....BRING ON THE NIGHT
after the song by The Police.
I am very jazzed that they let me keep my original choice for the title, as it fits the storyline even better than the titles of my other books.
Bring on the Night still has no official release date. I only know for sure that it will be 2010 and definitely not May, because that's when my teen fiction debut, Shade, will be released. Since publishers like to space an author's books at least a couple of months apart, I expect BotN to come out somewhere between July and September of next year.
I know, it's cruel to make readers wait more than a year between installments, but the good news is, your patience will be rewarded, because Book 4 (tentatively titled Lust for Life) will be released in Spring 2011 (I'm guessing February or March), thus giving you two WVMP books in about six months. Happy times!
This ramped-up publishing schedule means my writing schedule has also gotten busier, but I promise I won't forget my loyal blog readers (both of you). I have a fun event planned for this September to celebrate my five-year blog-iversary.
Stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!

And it is cruel of publishers to make us wait.

I don't like having to wait but we do end up getting 3 of your books in a short span of time so that's a plus!

Shadows: I hope I can drag you into the wonderful world of YA lit. Some of the best books being written right now are YA. No joke. You will convert! :-)
HockeyVampiress: Thank you! I don't know how many ARCs they'll be providing for BotN, but if there are enough for the Street Team, believe me, you'll get one.
Minimph: I'm excited, too--just because it was a perfect title for the book didn't mean they would let me keep it. They want titles that are effective for people who *haven't* read the book, which makes sense.
Ken: It was great to see you and Kelly at the signing! Thanks so much for stopping by.
Alexia561: I know, it seems like a long way off, and yet the deadline is so near, lol!
Mom: Hi! Does my sister know you called me your sweetest daughter? ;-)
Nozomi: Yes, Iggy Pop! I have high hopes they'll let me keep that title. And frankly I'm a little relieved at the delay, because it gives me time to write 3 books in a year (well, two and a half, since I already had the first draft of BotN).
Karen: It'll be a very exciting time! I'm glad the WVMP books will be coming out a little closer together. Books 3 & 4 take place right after each other and are tightly connected, so it works well.
