Wonderful news - more Stravaganzas after all!

[Mary]

Exactly four months ago I was told that Bloomsbury did not want any more Stravaganza titles.
I have kept a bit quiet since then because my agent and I were working on a strategy.

But today i am happy to announce that I am getting a contract for two more books initially and that they want me to write the next one before I write another historical novel for them. It will be published straight into paperback in the UK and in hardback in the US and appear in spring 2008.

Meanwhile all the books will be re-jacketed. Bloomsbury don't like the title City of Words (which they think is too dull) so it might be City of Secrets, but whatever, it will continue the story of Luciano and Arianna in Padavia and will be very exciting, I promise!

The Falconer's Knot (non-Stravaganza) will be out in April of next year, so I hope that will keep you all going till we get back to Talia. It has a fabulous gold jacket, a teenage love story and many murders. It won't be out in Germany till next autumn and I don't know about the other countries yet.

So there you are. I hope you are as happy as I am.

And I hope you'll find this message among all the horrible spam that seems to have invaded the site. What a shame.

;D They have seen the light then! More Stravaganza

Am deleting spam posting at the moment too. I haven't been on for a week due to having crippling back pain that has confined me to the sofa and a thingytail of painkillers.

Spammers beware -Lavita is back in action!
