DELACORTE RELEASES RYAN’S FIRST NOVEL: Wyoming native Amy Kathleen Ryan has just published her first novel for young adults. “Shadow Falls” (Delacorte Books for Young Readers, ISBN 0385731329) is set in Jackson and the Tetons and focuses on Annie, a 15-year-old girl trying to deal with the death of her brother Cody in an Andean climbing accident. The School Library Journal notes that the book “focuses on mountain climbing -- which is an interesting and fairly unexplored topic in young adult literature.” Amy now lives in New York but may be coming to Wyoming in 2007 for some book events. You can contact her through her web site.
