The Grimm Collection
This is what I’m working on now. It’s
about four high school students—two girls and two guys—who work in a library
and discover a collection of magical objects in the basement. My contract
says I have to turn in a first draft to my editor by May, 2008. It’s possible
she’ll want me to change the title, but I hope not.
More Enthusiasm: The Sequel
I’m not planning to write this. Think about
it: what could happen in a sequel? It would be very boring unless the
couples broke up, and that would be too sad to bear.
Here are some other ideas I’m considering; please write and tell me which one you think I should work on next:
• A historical novel set in New York and Europe in the 1870s,
about a 17-year-old who finds herself widowed the day after her wedding
and decides to go on the honeymoon anyway, touring Europe with her new
sister-in-law and her husband’s cousin.
• A historical novel set in New England and New York in the 1840s, about
a girl who runs away from her scary adoptive family and makes her way
home to her sister, an opera singer in New York.
• A fantasy about two sisters who are witches, although the younger one
hates magic and wants to be a scientist instead. Their mother, also a
witch, is trying to save the world from an evil magician, but she’s going
a little overboard, so the girls have to save it from their mom trying
too hard. I’ve written about half of this one already.
• A romance about a girl who falls for a Dusk Walker, one of the elfin people
who live in New York’s Central Park. He likes her back, but the queen of
the Dusk Walkers orders him to kill her.
