Our author of the month for January is Scott Westerfeld.  He is the author of 18 novels - 5 for adults and 13 for young adults and is best known for the futuristic Uglies series and the steampunk trilogy Leviathan.  You can find these on display in the fiction section of the library media center.

Westerfeld was born in Texas but now splits his time between Australia and New York - "to avoid the deadly scourge of winter" according to his website.  He is married to author Justine Larbalestier.

Westerfeld updates his blog fairly regularly with information about his travels and appearances, his books, and anything else that seems important to him at the time.  You can also follow him on Twitter @ScottWesterfeld.  Check out one of his books today!
