I'm working on something which I hope to announce in the next few weeks.

What I will say is:

- It's #fantasy based
- Has a book cover
- Announcing it depends on how edits go but I'm almost there. (I think).

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is GROUP. The King hasn't been able to locate Ted during waking hours so now is hunting him in his dreams. Fortunately Ted has a friend he didn't know about. #yafantasy #bookqw https://www.benjeapes.com/index.php/the-comeback-of-the-king/

Shattered Ice is out today.

A YA environmental fantasy about northern ice, disrupted migration, water, wildlife, dragons, grief, courage, and hope.

It is written for young readers who know the future should not be negotiated without them — and for the parents, teachers, librarians, and climate-minded readers who still believe stories can help them face it.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is SEVERAL. Ted is in the place where all the information that defines his home town, past, present and future, is stored - and about to have an unexpected reunion there. #bookqw #yafantasy https://www.benjeapes.com/index.php/the-teen-the-witch-the-thief/

I wrote Shattered Ice before the latest headlines about opening the Arctic to more oil development.

But that is exactly the point.

The future rarely arrives as fiction. It arrives as policy, profit, melting ice, disrupted migration, and people saying it is necessary.

Releases June 3.
