Elizabeth George
Inspector Lynley creator Elizabeth George—also known as “the most famous British writer who is not British“—joins John Grisham as a best-selling author who is branching out into YA fiction.
I wouldn’t shy away from it if I felt that I had a compelling story to tell in a location that really worked for me. . . Location is crucial to my books. I’ve been careful to go to places to make sure that I am going to feel that mystical or visceral connection that allows me to say yes, this is it, this is the place I’m going to write about.
At the time of the interview, George had just moved from Seattle to her dream home—a house on Whidbey Island. Sounds like she felt a “visceral connection” to her new home!
George fans: Will you read The Edge of Nowhere? The book will be published by Viking Children’s, and currently there is no set pub date.
I like Elizabeth George’s work so I’ll be tempted. Not sure, though, if I want to get involved in yet another series.

Oh yes, I will get involved with another series. EG writes with style, she knows how to craft a story, her characters live out of the page and stay with you, even though you might not like some of them, even though they are only peripheral characters. For a change, yes, I hardly wait to read about a girl and about Whidbey Island as locale. EG has honed her writing skills to such extent that there is no doubt in my mind her YA book will be a smashing success.
