We are thrilled to announce the addition of a new member of Project Mayhem, Anne Nesbet. Here is Anne's bio, newly updated to include the great news that was announced yesterday: her deal with Candlewick!
Anne Nesbet reads while walking, which means she relies on echolocation (or chance) to avoid injury. She teaches film history by day and writes novels for middle-grade readers in stolen moments. (Sometimes she steals a whole week.) She plays viola, composes strange pieces of music, and is happiest above 10,000 feet. Her fantasies for middle-grade readers are THE CABINET OF EARTHS (HarperCollins 2012), A BOX OF GARGOYLES (HarperCollins 2013), and THE WRINKLED CROWN (HarperCollins 2015), and her first historical novel for kids, CLOUD & WALLFISH, will come out in 2016 from Candlewick. She lives with her tolerant family and demanding dog in California.
(Man, I also have a tolerant family and a demanding dog. I think Anne will fit right in to the Mayhem milieu!)
Please leave a comment welcoming Anne. Her first post will be next month!
Welcome Anne, this is one brand of mayhem I love being part of, hope you'll feel the same. Congratulations on your upcoming books, I still get giddy sometimes from selling my first middle grade novel "GABRIEL" back in 2012.
ReplyDeleteAnne, welcome! Great to see you here! I love your book titles - mysterious and magical and look forward to your posts. Love to know more about this line "happiest at 10,000 feet". Does that mean on a mountain, sky diving, or traveling in a plane? More mystery!
ReplyDeleteHi, Anne. And welcome! And, like Donna, I was intrigued by the "happiest at 10,000 feet" line as well!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Project Mayhem, Anne!

ReplyDeleteHooray! So glad you're joining us, Anne! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much--and particular thanks to Michael for that kind introduction. I am working hard to learn the virtual ropes, and look forward to wreaking much creative havoc with the fabulous Mayhem's!
ReplyDeleteI mean, of course, the fabulous Mayhemmers! Somehow that seems to have been autocorrected into a word with an apostrophe--and apostrophes Aren't Safe.
ReplyDeleteI will try this again. The virtual ropes are hard to learn! :)
Welcome, Anne!
