Esther Friesner: Temping Fate and The Shame of Maudie Jones

Cover for Temping Fate

June 1, 2006, will see the launch of Esther Friesner's new YA novel, Temping Fate, from Dutton (a division of Penguin). No, that's not a typo; this is the story of a somewhat left-of-ordinary high school girl, living in the wilds of suburban Connecticut, who gets a summer job doing temp work for some definitely extra-ordinary employers. You know, even the gods need a day off now and then.

In other news, Friesner's play, The Shame of Maudie Jones (an old-fashioned "mellerdrama") is in performances now through October 14, 2006.
