I have written over 80 books for K-YA. Many are titles in my middle grade series: American Diaries, Survival, and Hoofbeats. The Unicorn's Secret and The Faeries' Promise series are for young readers. ((excerpts are up on http://www.kathleenduey.com)) Dark, atypical fantasy for teens and adults is my new love. My first YA novel,Skin Hunger, was a 2007 National Book Award finalist. Sacred Scars was released in 2009. The third book in the trilogy is finished and in the production process now.

Starting chapter 77

Lunch break here: I am on chapter 77 and am stunned by what is happening. I really didn't see this coming at all. This is where NOT outlining can be useful.
I did a blog interview on world building. This is the first half of the blog: http://bit.ly/OBXI1M The second half: http://bit.ly/R9GSKR
In the picture below I am staring at nothing. I stare a lot before the typing starts.
There is a reason there are no "author" reality shows

Adding this a day later.

In Limori, the sun is just coming up. There are carts like the ones farmers use to carry potatoes to the wash tubs. The wheels creak, there is a hard plank for the driver to sit upon. The ponies cannot fly. There is no magic here, just a long, sad line of carts leaving the city. I think I know what they are carrying. Today I will find out.
