Kimberley Makes A Two-Book Deal!

Publishers Marketplace announced Kimberley's latest two-book deal with Jim Frenkel of Tor yesterday in the Fiction/Sci-Fi/Fantasy category for publication in 2013.

This was a long-awaited deal in which she sold world rights to James Gunn's TRANSCENDENTAL, a search across the galaxy with a crew of both humans and aliens (much like the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales) for a machine that promises real Transcendence. The second book in the deal is STARBRIDGE, which was co-authored with the late Jack Williamson.
