I can’t overstate how thrilled I am to make this announcement. My next book (and adult debut), Jade City, sold to Orbit books in a three-book deal. The first novel will come out November 7. That’s right, this November. The news is out in Publisher’s Weekly today, calling it, accurately, “a Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kung fu.”
I love this book. It’s the most ambitious thing I’ve ever written. I’m incredibly invested in and excited by it and can’t wait to share it with readers.

Exo has been named a Spring 2017 Junior Library Guild Selection. The JLG reviews books prior to publication and selects a small number of them to deliver directly to schools and libraries, so I’m once again honored to have my work chosen by them.

Exo is now available for pre-order!
In other good news, I’ve been working with Scholastic Audio to cast the narrator for the audiobook edition of Exo and I couldn’t be more thrilled that MacLeod Andrews will be bringing this book to life. The Exo audiobook is going to be fantastic. It will be available on release day, January 31, 2017.

For me, one of the highlights of the Nebula Awards & Banquet this year was being on stage for this rousing song and dance performance of Radio SFWA, the anthem of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, composed and sung by Henry Lien.
