New Books for 2009
The Mystery of Grace
Tor, March 2009
Altagracia—her friends call her Grace—has a tattoo of Nuestra
Señora de Altagracia on her shoulder; she's got a Ford Motor Company
tattoo running down her leg; and she has grease worked so deep into her hands
that'll never wash out.
Grace works at Sanchez Motor Works, customizing hot rods. A few blocks around
her small apartment building is all her world—from the grocery store
where she buys beans, tamales and cigarettes to the library, the little record
shop, and the Solona Music Hall. Which is where she meets John Burns, just
two weeks too late.
Woods and Waters Wild

Stories. Here is the table of contents, a list of obscurities that will be the envy of de Lint readers everywhere.
Subterrannean Press is publishing Woods and Waters Wild in a hard cover edition.
Medicine Road
Tachyon, June 2009
It was supposed to be another novella, around the length of Seven Wild Sisters, but by the
time I turned it in, this visit with the musical Dillard twins had become a 60,000 word novel.
Tachyon Publications is publishing Medicine Road in a trade paperback edition.
New Books for 2008
Dingo
Viking, March 2008
High school senior Miguel's life is turned upside down when he meets new girl Lainey, whose family has just moved from
Australia. With her tumbled red-gold hair, her instant understanding of who he is, and her unusual dog—with fur the same
colour as her hair—Lainey is unforgettable. And, as he quickly learns, she is on the run from an ancient bargain
made by her ancestors. There's no question that Miguel will do whatever he can to help her—but what price
will each of them have to pay?
Dingo will be published in hardcover in the spring of 2008 as part of a five year anniversary celebration for Firebird Books.
Yellow Dog
Subterranean Press, May 2008
Subterrananean Press is doing another one of my Triskell Press chapbooks. This a story which takes place in the American
Southwest. Yellow Dog will be printed in two colors throughout, with a cover and
several interior illustrations by me.

of the pieces that inspired the stories, with a cover featuring my niece Kmoré as the model,
illustrating the introduction, "Kissing Frogs."
