It’s the end of August 2010, so you know what that means. Yeah, school. Maybe you’re already back in school. Maybe you’re getting ready to return. Either way, I figure it’s time for a HUNGER Back To School Giveaway!
I have a whole bunch of HUNGER cover small posters — roughly, 8 x 10 inches. Perfect size to fit inside of a locker, or slip into a looseleaf cover.
Want one? For free? All you have to do is email me your postal address.
Yup, that’s it. I’ll mail out one poster per person, anywhere in the world. While supplies last. 
So if you’d like a HUNGER cover poster, email me at J A X a t J A C K I E K E S S L E R d o t c o m with your postal address. In the subject line, please put POSTER.
And now, back to writing LOSS.

So you probably know I have an alter ego as Jackie Kessler, novelist for adults. I had the opportunity to chat with Jackie Morgan from Literary Escapism during the RT 2010 convention, and during the interview I talked a lot about HUNGER and the world of the Riders’ Quartet. (Yeah, that’s what I’m calling the Horsemen books. I like it. Has a nice ring to it.)
We talked about my adult series too, and why I went with a slightly different name for my young adult books. But I thought you might be interested in reading more about HUNGER and the Riders. And hey, if you’re into superheroes, my second superhero novel, SHADES OF GRAY (coauthored with Caitlin Kittredge), hits the shelves Tuesday, June 22, 2010 here in the US and in Canada. SHADES OF GRAY, like the first book, BLACK AND WHITE, is dystopian. Think Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, or Alan Moore’s WATCHMEN, or Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN.
The interview is here.
If you want to preorder HUNGER, you can do that here, here and here (among other places).
If you want to preorder SHADES OF GRAY, you can do that here, here and here (ditto the among other places).
And another interview, this one talking more about SHADES OF GRAY, is here.
Both interviews have contests to win a copy of the first superhero book, BLACK AND WHITE.

Publishers Marketplace has officially announced what I learned last week:
Italian rights to HUNGER and RAGE sold to Newton Compton in a four-book deal!
Yes, this means I’m working on books three and four of the Riders’ Quartet. Working on Book Three right now. The working title is LOSS, and this time, the Horseman is Pestilence.
Rock on!

I had the chance to read two chapters of HUNGER and talk about the book with Kathryn Laity, host of internet radio show Prose at the Rose. So if you’d like a sneak peek — er, listen — to the book, here’s the link:
Considering how nervous I was, I think I did OK, even though I stumbled over a few of the words during the reading (ack). Kate was a terrific host, and I’m thrilled she invited me onto the show.
Back to RAGE edits!
[Edited to add: Apparently, there was a problem with the link, so I removed it. Oopsie...]

Rachel Caine, who is a sweetheart as well as a fabulous author, wrote the following 5-star Goodreads review about HUNGER:
“I got tremendously lucky and had an opportunity to read an advance copy of HUNGER. I can say without exaggeration that I *loved* this book. It was fierce, uncompromising, fun, shocking, private, painful and beautiful, and I feel very privileged to have seen it early.
“Jackie’s written a book that is as intense as anything I’ve ever had the good fortune of reading, and I think that in addition to being a great book, this is also a very personal book, full of raw power.
“I wish I’d written it.”
This, along with Rachel’s cover quote for HUNGER, has me doing a happy dance. Thanks, Rachel!

And here, at long last, is the back cover copy for HUNGER!
“Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world.”
Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she’s been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home: her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power — and the courage to battle her own inner demons?
