Digg“If you want an editor with enormous professional integrity who isn’t afraid to tell you the truth about your work, but knows all about fragile egos and therefore murders your babies with courteous brutality; who is suitably persnickety without being pedantic; who always respects the writer’s voice and is just as committed to your project as you are: give Erin Wilcox a try. You will not be disappointed.”
Nine-Tail Fox by Camille Picott
Thursday, February 16, 2012
In 2011 I had the pleasure of working once again with Camille Picott, author of Raggedy Chan and the recently released Nine-Tail Fox. Both middle-grade children’s books, released through Picott’s Pixiu Press, belong to the Chinese Heritage Tale Series she is creating to make more ethnically diverse speculative fiction available for young people. Nine-Tail Fox is a frame tale in which Emma Chan-McDougal, a half-Chinese half-Caucasian fifth grader, gets picked on at school and learns from her Chinese aunt’s mythical story about a brave young Chinese Nine-Tail Fox who comes to America and fights Chih Yu, a demon that feeds on hatred. This is a touching tale I would recommend for all ages. An e-book edition is available in a variety of platforms through Smashwords. Congratulations, Camille!
