-Toni Morrison
Jane, Unlimited is my fourth release, a kaleidoscopic novel about grief, adventure, storytelling, and finding yourself in a world of seemingly infinite choices. It's also about umbrellas and umbrella-making :o). It comes out on September 19, 2017. I hope to have more stuff up about it soon, including reviews and foreign release info! For now --
Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions. Now, with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash—a glamorous, capricious acquaintan…

And randomly, my security letters write 'tothejug' which made me think of Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. It's a ridiculously cute movie, if you haven't seen it.
The video is cool, perspective is the perfect word. Thanks for taking a break from your break to share this:)
i wish you the best

Received the signed copies of Fire and Graceling...just today...on Christmas Eve... was very excited and wanted you to know that I adore your books and your characters and your writing. You are special!
Merry Christmas and here's to an awesome 2010 filled with many things to keep us wondering!!
jh
:-)
Of course, we'll look for Fire too!!
xoxoxxooo Jana & Hannah!!!
btw: just read graceling and fire, and i loved them! best books ever, and i cant wait for the third!
I was wondering if you used any playlists as inspiration to get you in the zone when writing Graceling & Fire? If so, could you post these playlists on your blog so we can get a deeper glimpse into your perceptions of the characters & your intent on how/why the storyline resulted as such? It's just fascinating seeing how artists and writers like yourself go from one point of inspiration (through music perhaps) to other creations of art such as your books, for instance. Thanks so much! (:
Best,

I just found your books on Amazon and was so surprised that my old high school friend is now a published author. Congrats! I am so thrilled for you. Of course, I went right out and bought them :). I hope you had a great holiday season. Look me up if you get the chance (jtarrach@gmail.com).
