Hello!

Hi there! As you can see, we've made a website for MY LADY JANE!

Wait.

You look like you have questions.

Who is this mysterious "we," you say? What's "My Lady Jane"?

So glad you asked.

We are three young adult authors. (Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, and Cynthia Hand, to be exact. We tried out names that smush us together like Codi Handowton, but our agents thought we should probably stay separate to avoid confusion. Ha. So we affectionately refer to ourselves as the Lady Janies.)

Last year we decided to write a book together.The conversation went something like this:

"Hey, do you want to go to Disneyland today?"

"Nah. Let's stay in and write a book."

And that's how MY LADY JANE came into being. Because writing is better than Disneyland.

True story.

Fast forward a few months, and we sold the novel to HarperTeen. We were thrilled. We're still thrilled. I mean, now we're getting paid to write a book with our besties, and we're going to go on tour together, and we can write off the jokes we come up with on our taxes. (Not so sure about that last bit, but it's worth a try, right?)

The book will hit shelves in Summer 2016.

That's a long time from now, we know. But in the meantime, as we write and wait and write and wait, we'll put some fun stuff up on this website. (Like our progress! Consult the gadget in the sidebar to see how far along we are in the process of writing this book!)

So check back soon, dear internet wanderers and possible readers.

xoxo

The Lady Janies
