Well, my first Star Wars novel has a title: The Clone Wars: Wild Space.

Plot details are still under wraps. If and when I can whet your appetites, I will. But I will say this much, because I know some folk are feeling antsy. These novels are companions to the upcoming Clone Wars cartoon series. They aren't word-for-word adaptations of the scripts. For a start, Karen Traviss and I are writing adult novels and the cartoons are aimed at a young audience. So don't expect a mirror book-form of the cartoons as they air on the big and small screen. These stories are designed to complement the fine work of the animated-action series.

And humungous thanks to the incomparable Karen T, who came up with this title after reading the draft manuscript. Alas, my brain was broken. She rocks every rocking chair in the known universe.
