SLASHER GIRLS & MONSTER BOYS - Story Titles Revealed
All this week we're revealing the titles of our individual stories for Slasher Girls & Monster Boys. If you follow the hashtag #slashergirlsandmonsterboys on Twitter or Instagram, you'll see all fourteen titles appear by this Friday, June 5.
Last week, I briefly mentioned my story's title by posting a quote from the Publishers Weekly review of the anthology. Here's the official reveal of the title, with much greater fanfare . . .
The story is called "Emmeline," and I'm pleased to announce that it's a companion to In the Shadow of Blackbirds. It takes place before the novel occurred and involves a side character: Jones, one of the wounded young veterans from the Red Cross House. The story does stand on its own, however, so don't worry about feeling lost if you've never read In the Shadow of Blackbirds.
I'll probably be able to share more about the actual plot of the story in the coming weeks. Slasher Girls and Monster Boys will be available from Penguin August 18, 2015.

Updates on My Upcoming Books
I have four books releasing between August 2015 and Summer 2016, and I'm hoping they don't gobble each other up. There should be a little something for everyone in these upcoming offerings, and I will say they've all been keeping me extremely busy. Here's the latest news for all four of my 2015 and 2016 publications.
THE STEEP AND THORNY WAY
YA Fiction
Coming March 2016
Amulet Books / Abrams
ISBN 9781419719158
Last week I turned in copyedits for my newest YA novel, which means the next time I see the book it will be in its beautiful, typeset form. I grew so incredibly attached to my characters in The Steep and Thorny Way that I'm feeling some withdrawal from working on the novel. I really can't wait to share more about it.
The cover is currently in the works, and I've heard some details about it. I can't share anything just yet, but I will say that Maria T. Middleton, the same designer who worked on In the Shadow of Blackbirds and The Cure for Dreaming, will be creating the cover and interior designs for this one, too.
THE UNINVITED
Adult Fiction
Coming August 11, 2015
William Morrow / HarperCollins
ISBN 9780062347336
Summer is rapidly approaching, which means my adult debut novel will soon be available! At this point, I've finished all of my work on the book, and I'm now waiting to dive into promotions for it.
On August 11 at 7:00 pm, I'll be celebrating the release of The Uninvited at Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing in Beaverton, Oregon. I'll also be promoting the book at Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle and Annie Bloom's Books in Portland. Please keep an eye on my Events page for a complete list of all my upcoming appearances, many of which are still in the works.
Thank you so much to all of my In the Shadow of Blackbirds and The Cure for Dreaming fans. Your enthusiasm for my novels has most certainly helped me to continue to keep publishing!

Introducing YESTERNIGHT
Here's the official announcement from Publishers Marketplace:
Author of IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS and THE CURE FOR DREAMING Cat Winters's YESTERNIGHT, in 1925, a trailblazing female psychologist unlocks the mystery behind a child's claims of reincarnation while also confronting questions in her own childhood, again to Lucia Macro at William Morrow, by Barbara Poelle at the Irene Goodman Agency (World).
The book is currently slated to be published Summer 2016.
Thanks so much to Lucia Macro for acquiring Yesternight, and to Barbara Poelle, my amazing and tireless agent, for making the sale possible.
I sold the book based on a proposal, so I'll be spending the next six months writing it, while also preparing for the release of two other novels and a short story. In short, I will be quite busy. Happy, but busy. :)
