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.

The German translation of Skin Hunger is out. It's always an astonishing thing, being translated, to know that the story transcends the original language...

The Random House German editor really loved the book--which is so wonderful!! their catalogue

I didn't know they were coming, and expected to see Sacred Scars advance readers copies in the box. The panic only lasted 2-3minutes, but...???

Really. There are days!
