WU HOO!

We have more good news to share:

Valued contributor Juliet Marillier’s YA novel CYBELE’S SECRET has been selected as one of 2009’s best books for young adults by the American Library Association.  Congratulations, Juliet!

We just finished a two-part interview with her, but we are pleased to learn via Publisher’s Marketplace that film rights for Hallie Ephron’s suspense novel NEVER TELL A LIE have been sold:

FILM RIGHTS Hallie Ephron’s NEVER TELL A LIE, an innocent yard sale upends the life of a perfect young couple about to have their first child and sweeps them up into a Hitchcockian nightmare of murder, deceit and betrayal, optioned to Howard Braunstein, Jaffe/Braunstein Films, by Bill Contardi, on behalf of Gail Hochman at Brandt & Hochman.

Congratulations, Hallie!
