And this Friday brings another huge announcement for one of our YA Muses, Veronica Rossi, whose debut, a post-apocalyptic YA trilogy sold this week! I've had the good fortune to read an early version of UNDER THE NEVER SKY, and I can't wait to read it again. It's got everything: star-crossed romance, humor, a thrilling adventure, and ambiguous moral questions, not to mention some gorgeous writing. Here's the formal announcement from Publishers Marketplace:

Veronica Rossi's UNDER THE NEVER SKY, about forbidden lovers from radically different societies - following a girl banished from her enclosed, technology-bound city out into the deadly natural world, where she encounters a savage boy who becomes her only chance to survive and return home, to Barbara Lalicki at Harper, in a major deal, in a three-book deal, for publication in Winter 2012, by Josh Adams at Adams Literary (NA).

Congratulations to Veronica!
