Simon & Schuster announced that they signed international Best-selling author Philippa Gregory (author of The Other Boleyn Girl & many others) to a 4 book YA historical romance deal!

On the deal, Philippa Gregory said "I am delighted to move into a new form of writing. I know I have many young readers already and it will be a pleasure to write a series just for them. Bringing history alive is a great joy and to bring it to a young generation doubly so."

That's what I've got today and am happy to share it with you!
