Hooray! According to the Gollancz catalogue that just arrived, The Princess of Bois Dormant is due out in December of *this* year.

Her recent Ann Halam YA Books, Siberia and Snakehead, are an amazing study in contrasts. One is cold, tough, bitter and harsh, the other is warm, rich, full of friendship and family. They really are incredibly good.

I’m almost tempted to ask Jo at Gollancz. Given that the book is finished, I can’t see why they’d need to wait so long. I’d figure an earlier date – sometime in the next 12 months – would be possible. I’m also wondering about US rights. Hopefully there’ll be a US edition too.

Amazon says December 2009 for the novel. I am impatient.

Gwyneth Jones is one of the great writer’s of sf. You have got to read the “White Queen” series. I think it’s brilliant, as is the singleton “Life” (which won the Philip K. Dick award). There are lots of others but those are my favorites. I, also loved “In the Forest of the Queen” . It was one of the best short stores of last year (right up there with “The Tomb Wife” ) Anytime a new novel comes out by her I order it from Amazon.co.uk because it’s a good bet that it will be a book want to keep in my collection! Really appy to hear about the new novel – it should be a glorious read.
