With the success of various illustrated novels for kids such as Babymouse and Dragonbreath, Tor has decided to delve into their own mid-grade novel line: InnerSpace. While much of the science fiction it has published thus far has been futuristic or outer space focused, the InnerSpace line will focus on the  human body and the mysteries within, but heavy on the fun and entertaining and light on the stodgy and educational.

The series’ November, 2010 launch title will be Larry, The Christmas Tapeworm, written by yours truly. I was thrilled to have the chance to collaborate with noted artist and Dragonbreath author, Ursula Vernon. There are few artists who have the whimsical skill to bring alive both the trials and the triumphs of Larry, a young tapeworm, and his search for the true meaning of Christmas. Larry will have further adventures in a sequel, Candy Corn Doesn’t Digest, in September, 2011.

Vernon will be also illustrating and authoring future books in the series. Look for Single-Celled Samurai in February, 2011, and Mervyn the MIGHTYchondria in July.
