Troll's Eye View
Troll’s Eye View A Book of Villainous Tales Edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling Available only from Teacher’s Junior Library Guild 7858 Industrial Parkway Edition Plain City, OH 43064 www.juniorlibraryguild.com Copyright © 2009 Junior Library Guild/Media Source, Inc. 0 About JLG Guides Junior Library Guild selects the best new hardcover children’s and YA books being published in the U.S. and makes them available to libraries and schools, often before the books are available from anyone else. Timeliness and value mark the mission of JLG: to be the librarian’s partner. But how can JLG help librarians be partners with classroom teachers? With JLG Guides. JLG Guides are activity and reading guides written by people with experience in both children’s and educational publishing—in fact, many of them are former librarians or teachers. The JLG Guides are made up of activity guides for younger readers (grades K–3) and reading guides for older readers (grades 4–12), with some overlap occurring in grades 3 and 4. All guides are written with national and state standards as guidelines. Activity guides focus on providing activities that support specific reading standards; reading guides support various standards (reading, language arts, social studies, science, etc.), depending on the genre and topic of the book itself. JLG Guides can be used both for whole class instruction and for individual students. Pages are reproducible for classroom use only, and a teacher’s edition accompanies most JLG Guides. Research indicates that using authentic literature in the classroom helps improve students’ interest level and reading skills. -
The End of All Things Took Me Longer to Write Than Most of My Books Do, in Part Because I Had a Number of False Starts
AN ALTERNATE “THE LIFE OF THE MIND” Deleted and Alternate Scenes ■■ ■■ 039-61734_ch01_4P.indd 351 06/09/15 6:17 am Introduction The End of All Things took me longer to write than most of my books do, in part because I had a number of false starts. These false starts weren’t bad—in my opinion— and they were use- ful in helping me fi gure out what was best for the book; for ex- ample, determining which point- of- view characters I wanted to have, whether the story should be in fi rst or third person, and so on. But at the same time it’s annoying to write a bunch of stuff and then go Yeaaaaah, that’s not it. So it goes. Through vari ous false starts and diversions, I ended up writ- ing nearly 40,000 words— almost an entire short novel!—of material that I didn’t directly use. Some of it was re cast and repurposed in different directions, and a lot of it was simply left to the side. The thing is when I throw something out of a book, I don’t just delete it. I put it into an “excise fi le” and keep it just in case it’ll come in handy later. Like now: I’ve taken vari ous bits from the excise fi le and with them have crafted a fi rst chapter of an alternate version of The Life of the Mind, the fi rst novella of The End of All Things. This version (roughly) covers the same events, with (roughly) the same characters, but with a substantially different narrative di- rection. -

Tor Teen Acquires Ya Contemporary Fantasy Trilogy from Debut Black Author, Terry J
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Saraciea Fennell, Publicity Manager, Tor Teen [email protected] TOR TEEN ACQUIRES YA CONTEMPORARY FANTASY TRILOGY FROM DEBUT BLACK AUTHOR, TERRY J. BENTON IN MID-SIX FIGURE DEAL NEW YORK, NY (December 3, 2020)—Tor Teen, the publisher of A Song Below Water and The Witchlands series, has acquired, in a major deal, Blood Debts, a YA contemporary fantasy trilogy by Terry J. Benton, pitched as “Dynasty with magic” set to publish in Winter 2023. The book follows two Black twins, sixteen year-old Clem and Cristina, who must put aside their differences and reunite their fractured family in order to take back the New Orleans magic council their family used to rule—all while solving a decades-old murder that sparked the rising tensions between the city’s magical and non-magical communities, before it leads to an all-out war. Tor Teen Senior Editor Ali Fisher said, “Reading Blood Debts was like binge-watching my new favorite show. I gasped, I laughed, I completely fell in love. Benton is a powerhouse new voice in YA fantasy and the relationship between race, magic, and power is fresh and observant. I was on the edge of my seat to see who'd claim the throne!” Benton's agent, Patrice Caldwell, praises the hole the book fills in the market: “I can’t think of the last YA contemporary fantasy I’ve read written by a gay, Black man, centering a gay, Black boy. I can’t wait for this book to be out in the world!” Patrice Caldwell at New Leaf Literary & Media negotiated the three book deal for North American rights. -

Whirlwind Worldcon
EDITORIAL Sheila Williams WHIRLWIND WORLDCON; or SHAMELESS NAME DROPPING It was not my intention to attend LonCon 3, the 2014 Worldcon, which was held in London this past summer.Although I usually arrange family vacations around World- con, we couldn’t do that in 2014 because we were already planning to visit the UK in April. Our elder daughter was spending her junior semester abroad at University Col- lege London and then returning to the States for a paid summer internship. We could- n’t swing two trips to England and we didn’t want to take a trip without her. When I drew up the magazine’s 2014 budget, I decided my big professional outing would be the World Fantasy Convention in Washington, D.C. WFC is an excellent convention that, like Worldcon, is always jam-packed with authors. Yet, while I wasn’t planning on attending LonCon 3, the Universe was conspiring to get me there. My husband, younger daughter, and I set out for JFK and London on April 11. We checked our luggage and proceeded to security.While on that line, I received a super- secret email informing me that I’d been nominated for a Hugo. The rest of our jour- ney through security proceeded without incident. Eventually, we headed for our gate, only to make the startling discovery that our check-in had been accidentally voided and our seats given away to standby passengers! This plane was the last flight out to London of the night, so while our luggage was happily on its way to Heathrow, we weren’t going anywhere fast. -
