Choosing a title for the sequel was so much fun, we decided to do it again! Actually, the sales folks had some good thoughts about keeping "Trelian" in the title to help make the connection clear between the two books, so we decided to tweak it a little. The new title is:
THE PRINCESS OF TRELIAN
Goes quite nicely with The Dragon of Trelian, I think, and one more "of Trelian" title for the third book would make a lovely set all together.

The Trelian sequel has a title!
And it is:
The Dragon Princess: A Novel of Trelian
Calen fans: fear not! There is still a lot of Calen in this book. This story, like the first one, is told from both his and Meg's point of view, and a LOT of things happen to both of them throughout the novel. Exciting and significant things. Some of them are VERY VERY exciting and significant. But I am not going to tell you what they are. You will have to read the book.
And when can you do that, you ask? I will tell you: Spring 2012. When we know the exact month, I will post it here. And when the cover is ready, I will post that here, as well. The story itself is written and complete, but I'm still making little changes here and there. This week I'm reviewing the copyedits and trying to decide once and for all on an important character's name that I keep changing from draft to draft.
In other news, I have other news but I am not allowed to tell you about it yet. But it is GREAT news and I am SO EXCITED!!! I will post it here as soon as I can. For now, you will just have to take my word for it. :)
OK - back to work with me. Hope you all have been having a great summer! I know I've been absent from the blogosphere for a while—crazy-busy as usual and also moved to a new apartment in a new neighborhood (hello, Greenpoint!) which left little time for anything else for a while. Insert my usual promise about blogging more often here. I will try! I will at least try to make sure I post the important things in a timely fashion.
Oh and one last thing: I now have an official Facebook page, so please stop by and "like" me to get updates on new books and book signings and other things like that.

Library Lion reading Library Lion!
Saw this great photo courtesy of Joyabella on Twitter. Are you seeing this? It's a LION reading LIBRARY LION on the steps of the New York Public Library between Lego replicas of Patience and Fortitude. There is so much awesome happening here, I don't even know where to begin. I will just let the photo speak for itself:
The Lego lions were created by Nathan Sawaya as part of the celebration of the NYPL's 100th anniversary.
You can see a larger version of the photo by clicking on it.

Love your library!
This week, bloggers around the Internet are participating in the Library Loving Blog Challenge (created by author Jennifer R. Hubbard) to help raise money for libraries. You can help by visiting the blogs of participating folks and leaving a comment—most participants are pledging to donate a certain amount of money per comment they receive. It's that easy!
Last year, I ended up donating $250 to the Brooklyn Public Library, thanks to all the lovely people who commented on my blog. I couldn't do it this year, but wanted to help spread the word and encourage you to visit participating blogger sites and maybe consider donating a book or some moolah to your own local library.
You can see the list of participating bloggers here. Visit now—the challenge ends this Saturday, April 2!
Libraries are important! This is a wonderfully easy way to help keep them going. Spread some library love today!
