Been teasing and taunting and slipping lines onto Twitter but finally, finally, it's up on PM and so I can proudly and happily and ecstatically announce:
Joy Preble's HAUNTED, the sequel to DREAMING ANASTASIA, in which a girl is being haunted by a mysterious and malevolent mermaid, to Daniel Ehrenhaft at Sourcebooks, for publication in 2011, by Jennifer Rofe at Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

There is - as always - a long story to this. But for now I will leave it brief. Anne and Ethan and Tess and the gang are going to be back. Baba Yaga, too, and lots of other surprises - including, as you can see in the blurb a Russian mermaid, known in folklore as a rusalka. Oh, how thrilled I am to share this at last. (So, for that matter, is my crazy cowgirl agent, Jen, but that too, is another story)
More soon.
Going to do the happy Snoopy Dance now. *leaps from computer and whirls like a dervish*
Til next time... And wait til you see the cover! It is so fabulous you won't believe it!

Yay!
Dreaming Anastasia sent me off on a Romanov kick and I'm studying the Russian Revolution now in school so this is some of the best news I could get!
Congratulations! If the cover is as clever and rich as the one on DA, I'm sure it will be stunning!
Yay Joy so happy for you! That's wonderful and exciting news!!! :)
YAY! You know I am a huge Baba Yaga fan and mermaids?! So exciting!!!
Thanks all! It is indeed very exciting. And yes, I hope everyone really digs on the rusalkas. That's what the Russian folklore mermaids are called.
I cannot wait!
Huge congrats, Joy! I'm reading Anastasia right now and loving it!
This is so exciting, Joy! I'm going to go out on a very sturdy limb and bet that it will be a huge success!
I'm so excited! Can't wait for the cover!
