Because I am a Lady Julia Grey addict, I am obligated to report that the cover of Deanna Raybourn's upcoming novella has been released and it is a Lady Julia Grey Christmas novella! Christmas novellas and I do not have a long history together. But as I recently made the acquaintance of one I quite liked, I'm thinking we could have a future together, Christmas novellas and I. And so I plan on pursuing the relationship with renewed determination come November 1st when Silent Night (love the title) is released. Julia, Brisbane, a return to Bellmont Abbey, the crazy Marches, a prowling ghost?! Who could ask for a better way to kick off the holidays?
Ever since I fell in love with Diana Peterfreund 's Secret Society Girl series last year, I've been hoping I'd get the chance to interview her here. Tomorrow marks the release of her new novel, Rampant , and let me tell you that you have not read a book like this before. You can read my review here , but all you really need to know is that it's a story about killer unicorns and the young women who hunt them. You want to read it now, don't you? Oh, yeah, and it's YA and the first in a series! To celebrate the release, Diana graciously answered a few of my most burning questions. As she is always a delight, I know you'll enjoy them as much as I did. First things first: When did the idea for Rampant first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? In early 2005, just after selling Secret Society Girl , I had this dream of being chased by a very dangerous unicorn. I woke up and went to go look it up to see if I could figure out the meanin...
Yes, I am SO looking forward to this! Especially since it will be the only Julie/Brisbane fix we have for awhile...
ReplyDeleteI know. Ugh. Thank goodness for small mercies in the form of ebook novellas. ;)
DeleteOh oh oh, I have the previous four books and I STILL HAVEN'T READ THEM!! I need to get onto a serious Lady Julia Grey reading marathon me thinks. Everyone I know loves these books.
ReplyDeleteShannon. WOMAN. You can't just hit me with something like that and then click away! You own the first four books?! For the love of all that is holy, pick up SILENT IN THE GRAVE now.
DeleteOh, I'm so disappointed it's an e-book! I miss Nicholas and Julia so much.
