It's a great day when you get to announce not only a brand new book series, but a debut by a pair of wildly talented creators—and, guess what? That's exactly what I've got in store for you today!

The dynamic author-illustrator duo of Jennifer Xu and Kate Rhodes have conceived a breathtaking graphic novel series titled HAVEN AND THE TITANS—a fantastical adventure featuring a strong female hero who is caught in a world of mysterious gods and menacing robots, and a kingdom that extends up beyond the clouds. What happens next? You definitely want to know more . . . and you can, beginning in Fall 2020.

The two-book deal was snapped up in a preempt offer by Sheila Keenan at Viking, and I for one can't wait to see the finished work in print.

Huge congratulations, Kate and Jen!
