Tamora's new book, the Melting Stones, comes out Fall of 2008 (Yes, I know, a long wait.)

Here's a description that I got from here website:

Residents on one of the Battle Islands south of Emelan have sent a call for help to Winding Circle temple: their plants and trees and the animals who live around them are dying off in patches, for no reason that they can work out. From Winding Circle come two familiar figures: prickly green mage Rosethorn, whose plant magic will help her to decipher what's ailing the plant life on the island, and Briar's former student, the obstreperous stone mage Evumeimei, or Evvy, who is eager to travel once more. With them comes the eager and nervous Dedicate Initiate Myrrhtide, who will help them to communicate with Winding Circle should they need to, and the companion Evvy met while she, Rosethorn, and her former teacher Briar were traveling in distant Yanjing, Luvo, a being who is best described as a walking, intelligent rock. Though supposedly Evvy and Luvo are simply along for the ride, they are pulled into the island's mystery when Evvy is caught up by the wild spirits loose in an immense bubble of molten rock quite close to the surface of the island. What Evvy, Luvo, Rosethorn, and the people of the island can do in the face of a fast-approaching volcano will be anyone's guess. Can they evacuate the island? Or worse--will they try to shift a volcano?

It's already been released as a Full Cast Audio, that I believe is avaiable on iTunes, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, the second Beka Cooper book doesn't ome out until April of 2009 (thank you, Morgan, for telling me that, or I would have been looking for the book in Barnes and Noble for hours!)

Morgan (mlhiggins84) I know this isn't for 2008 but I couldn't resist. If you got to www.tamorapierce.com she lists upcoming projects for the next several years, which include: Elkhound(the 3rd Bekka book) in 2010, Numair The Early Years for 2011, and an untitled Tortall book in 2012.

She has a pretty interesting site. It is a little hard to navigate and cluttered but I love that she has long recommendation lists for each year.

Don't resist, Morgan! Never resist when it comes to books!

I really can't wait or any of her books and besides the next two Bekka books, I really want to read the Numair one, since he happens to be one out of my many favorite characters.
