"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 Ha'Penny, available now from Tor. The paperback will be available in July.
It's the sequel to Farthing, now in paperback.
(Read Farthing first. It's not the sort of sequel that's the second half of a book with extra cardboard dividers, it's a standalone novel, but read Farthing first anyway.)
The third volume in this "Still Life With Fascists" or "Small Change" series is called Half a Crown, and will be out from Tor in September 2008.
Her fantasy novel Lifelode will be published in February 2009 by NESFA Press. They will issue a collection of her poetry at the same time.
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. It will be reprinted by Tor in a trade paperback edition in January 2009.
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 is presently working a fantasy novel about a world where lost ships from the ancient Med ended up called Our Sea, and an odd kind of urban fantasy novel. 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. |
