And for you mystery/thriller fans, the Edgar award for Best First Novel went to Chris Pavone for The Expats (agented by The Gernert Co.) and the Edgar award for Best Fact Crime went to Midnight in Peking, written by Paul French and edited by my very own editor, Emily Murdock Baker. I am heady with “award by association.”
I’m about 2000 words less on the sequel than I was before I got on a plane Thursday.
MOTH AND SPARK: A Novel
By Elisabeth Anne Leonard
FICTION | Viking | Winter 2014 | World Rights

An exciting debut novel filled with magic, dragons, and courtly love, Moth and Spark is the story of a prince and the whip-smart commoner he falls for who get caught up in the political intrigue that threatens their kingdom.
ELISABETH ANNE LEONARD is the editor of the critical anthology Into Darkness Peering: Race and Color in the Fantastic.
Book going to copyeditor today. Title: MOTH AND SPARK, a novel. Author will be ANNE LEONARD instead of the full moniker b/c it’s much shorter and snappier. I bought the domain name (an optimistic one) anneleonardbooks.com, but no website going up until much later. The web name for this blog is now anneleonard.tumblr.com
