"If all the sky were paper
And all the seas were ink,
We'd have a lot to read and write
But nowt to eat or drink."
Traditional nursery rhyme.
Jo Walton's latest novel is the alternate history mystery Half a Crown. It's the third and final volume in the "Small Change" trilogy that started with Farthing and Ha'Penny, both available now in paperback.
(Read Farthing first. They're not the kind of books that are all one book with extra cardboard dividers, they're standalone novels, but read Farthing first anyway.)
Her fantasy novel Lifelode was published in February 2009 by NESFA Press, and is available from them. They also published her poetry collection, Sibyls and Spaceships
She has also written the World Fantasy Award winning Tooth and Claw, (Tor November 2003, mass market paperback November 2004), a sentimental Victorian novel about dragons who eat each other. It is available in Chinese, Japanese, German, Czech and Spanish and has been reprinted by Tor in an Orb trade paperback edition.
Her earlier works are The Prize in the Game (Tor 2002, paperback April 2004) and the diptych The King's Peace (Tor 2000) and The King's Name (Tor 2001). These two are also available from Penguin Australia, and in German and Dutch.
She has recently finished Among Others, a fantasy novel about growing up in South Wales with fairies. It will be published by Tor in Spring 2010.
She is presently working a fantasy novel about a world where lost ships from the ancient Med ended up called Our Sea. She won the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer in 2002 and the World Fantasy Award (for Tooth and Claw) in 2004. She comes from Wales, but lives in Montreal where the food and books are more varied.
