The little girlpup is off to Texas to her new home. Her brothers remain, and they bounce off my office walls while I work.
I am sunk deep in the stone passageways where the second book of The Resurrection of Magic trilogy is taking place. There and on the docks in South End, the slums of Limori.
Limori is an old gypsy word.
Its meaning is central to the books.
All the place names and character names have real linguistic roots, some of them obscure, some not. Knowing the meanings matters to me. There is a resonance.
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.

I simply cannot wait for your next book! I just read "Skin Hunger" and it was one of my favorite books. When do you plan to publish the next book?

I meant to answer you before this...for some reason, my response disappeared??
THANKS! for the kind words about the book. I can't explain how much it helps writers write--we need encouragement!
Sacred Scars will be out Spring 09. I am working on it now (Spring 08) and I love the way the story is unwinding...
