Thanks so much for stopping by my web site. I hope you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about me and my work right here, but if you don’t you can always e-mail me at Elaine@elainescott.com. The past year has been an extraordinarily busy one. In January, Space, Stars, and the Beginning of Time was published by Clarion. As anyone who knows me realizes, I am captivated by space science, and in particular by the Hubble Space Telescope. Space, Stars is my attempt to sum up all the science this amazing instrument has done over the twenty years it’s been in orbit. I can take no credit for the magnificent images in this book—they’re all Hubble, all the way! I barely had time to enjoy the publication of Space, Stars because I was hard at work on next year’s book, which instead of being set far above the earth, is set deep within it. Buried Alive! How 33 Miners Survived 69 Days Beneath the Chilean Desert. As I watched the rescue of those miners on television, I knew there was a powerful human story there—one of despair, survival, hope, and success. I hope you’ll look for it when Clarion publishes it in April, 2012. I also finished a book for Charlesbridge, Dollars and Sense: A Book About Money. Considering the fact that everyone everywhere seems to be worrying about money and the economy, it seemed like a good idea to write a book on, well, money and how it works—both for us and at times, against us. That book will appear in 2013. Right now, I’m finishing up another book for Clarion—this time on the moon. It will contain all kinds of new information about our closest neighbor in space. So I’ve been a busy writer, which is just the way I like it. But I’m never too busy to visit your school or library, or to answer your questions. So send them on! I answer every one. Best wishes, Elaine When Is a Planet Not a Planet? is named to the 2010-2011 Young Hoosier Book Award Nomination List! Secrets of the Cirque Medrano has been named one of Bank Street College's Best Children's Books of the Year!
