My Solo Series & Book 1: Unbreakable
I can finally share some of my news!
Excerpt from Publishers Weekly:
Garcia’s ‘Legion’ Heads to LBBYR… and Hollywood
Kami Garcia, coauthor of the bestselling YA series Beautiful Creatures, sold the first two books in a new series, called the Legion, to Julie Scheina at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Scheina bought North American rights to Unbreakable and Unbound from Jodi Reamer at Writers House; the series is set to launch in fall 2013. The first book, Unbreakable, is also already in development in Hollywood with producer Mark Morgan (the Twilight Saga and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief) attached… LBBYR called the series a “frightening and thrilling urban fantasy’”full of “suspense, romance, and dark paranormal forces.”
Hmm… did I leave something out? You want to know what UNBREAKABLE is about?,
Kennedy Waters’ entire life changes when she finds her mother dead and discovers she is a member of a secret society formed two hundred years ago to protect the world from a powerful demon determined to find a way out of his dimension and into ours, and from the dangerous spirits he controls.

My First Copy of Beautiful Chaos
There’s nothing like opening a package from your editor expecting to find some swag, and seeing this instead…
One of the first copies of your book, hot off the press. Our editor, Julie Scheina, always includes something special with the the books. This year, it was a beautiful photography book of landscapes from the South.
It’s hard to describe seeing the book for the first time. It always looks so different from the jpgs and ARCs (CHAOS didn’t have ARCs). So REAL. This is a bad picture from my phone, but you can still see how gorgeous BEAUTIFUL CHAOS is, Book 3 in the Beautiful Creatures Novels. You can see it for yourself “in the flesh” on October 18, 2011.
