Sequel to
Streams of Babel
Okay, so.  In this one, I've finally written a couple of love scenes.  Well,
almost. (You know how I am, ew kooties.)  But there was this Cora &
Scott thing going on in the predecessor book,
Streams of Babel, and I
guess we could say the scenes wrote themselves.  

Like
Streams it is a Junior Library Guild Premiere Selection and got a
kick butt review in
Kirkus and other
places.  
Streams of Babel
is now available in paperback!
"This is a story about the threat of bioterrorism as seen through the eyes of the generation that will
grow up with it as a reality, not just as a fictional bogeyman. The teens are the focus here, all
excellent character studies drawn adeptly with few words. The swift pace grabs the reader right
from the start, with a page-turning intensity. Plum-Ucci takes the incredible and makes it all too
believable." (Kirkus Review (starred review) )

"A thriller that feels destined for the silver screen." (Bulletin )

"Gripping...Fans of suspense will discover a thrilling ride." (V.O.Y.A. )

"Rich with unanswerable questions and timely urgency, the book captures the frailty of post-9/11
American life." (Horn Book )
Fire Will Fall
is now available!

There will be a sequel to
The Body of Christopher Creed!!
Yeehah!!  I am very stoked about this.  Thank you, HMH, my publisher!
Expected release date:  Spring 2011.  Working title:  
Just Another Tale of Steepleton.

Christopher Creed has been missing for four years, and now his brother Justin is 16.  Is he the
same type of kid his brother was?  Is he entirely different?  It's hard to say.  As we open, he's kind
of, uh, missing.

Keep checking back to see when I'm allowed to post excerpts.
