I bounce back and forth between Regency romance writing and sci-fi - completely different poles with very little intersection. Maybe one day I'll write a P&P fan fic set in space...with aliens? Who knows! :) I look forward to checking it out when it goes live.M.

I think I started it two years ago but had to make room for books with contracts. I have to admit YA fantasy is not my strong suit, but I'm working hard! P.S. This ms won the Emily Contest "Best of the Best" and the YA category, but it's changed so much since then... We'll see where it ends up!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347275802005093242.post-56531339972449479572014-05-19T21:29:39.390-07:002014-05-19T21:29:39.390-07:00A YA manuscript set in Japan.

YA is such an interesting genre, and as the mother of two girls (tween and teen), I know I've spent hundreds and hundreds on YA books. Okay, I'll admit it. I love YA too. I still have to remind my teenage daughter that I introduced her to the Hunger Games. Best of luck with your YA adventure. Can't wait to read it.BelleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053178413674411382noreply@blogger.com
