Johnny and the Dead

[Terry Pratchett]

J&tD will, I hope, be a YA title out in April next year. There probably
won't be a new DW title in the spring, partly because I'm owed a holiday
after five years of two a year, partly because I'm doing all kinds of other
stuff, and partly because, well, there's all this email...

Will this be available in the US? Please please please?

Wah! Oh well, I've still got _Witches_Abroad_ and _Small_Gods_ coming...

(We knew THAT would happen, didn't we. OK, everybody who's been emailing
Terry, UP AGAINST THE WALL. ...What? News postings count too?
..Never mind.)

Oh hang on. Is J&tD the one about the space invaders?

"YA title"....

<sound of gears grinding as fan ponders> Okay, I give up. What does YA
stand for? Something that I've not encountered, I assume? (whimper)

Young Adult. Means it's just a normal book, but the protagonist is
underage, so the libraries hide it from you.

[Terry Pratchett]

YA means Young Adult means vaguely adolescent. YA books have fewer teddy
bears and more inner city grit.

Or vice-versa, depending on which direction you're coming at it from.
Come to think of it, though, much "adult" fiction is warm and fuzzy
compared to the Brothers Grimm, so it could go either way
(verse-vicie?).

I had of course assumed that YA meant "Yet Another (as in "Yet Another
^$%#*&*@# Pratchett book"). Working with UNIX all these years must
have affected me more than I thought!

Figgers. (Young Adult came to mind first, but of course that was too
simple... *sigh* Caught in my own convoluted mind.)

Ah. Thank you. (Now all I have to do is agitate the local bookstore to
put all the Pratchett books in the SF&F section where I can find
them...)
