You know I’ve been working on it, and those of you who saw me on book tour this summer got the scoop, but the stars have finally aligned and I can officially make the announcement: Harcourt has signed me on to do two more books in the Enchanted series!!!
And there was much rejoicing.

PRESS RELEASE:

Hot on the heels of Enchanted‘s breakout success, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt offered Kontis a nice, two-book deal to further the fairy tale adventures of the Woodcutter sisters. The books, tentatively entitled Hero and Beloved, will follow the lives of sisters Saturday and Friday, respectively. HMH plans to release the titles in the fall of 2013 and 2014.

Oh my goodness you plan on there being a book about each sister? That would be so fantastic! They agreed to do at least two more so that’s good… I cannot wait to read them!!! It’s almost like I wish I didn’t know you were in the middle of writing them… because the suspense… the counting down of the days until time I can get the next book in my hands will make me mad!! π
That’s okay…I’m counting down the days until I need to be finished writing the first one…and it’s REALLY SCARY.
That is so exciting, I LOVED Enchanted!! Will they be added to Goodreads soon so I can add them to my “Want to Read” shelf? I love doing that π And I truly hope you get to write a book about each sister!
