And although she is 82, she just might reach the 500 mark.
“I have 130 unsold manuscripts. I have about 30 already under contract and written and about 10 more promised, some written, some not,” Yolen said.
Inspired by her family, her new husband “and every single thing I read, watch, find, dream about or fear,” Yolen’s 400th book, “Bear Outside,” portrays the relationships people have with their inner selves. It will be published on Tuesday, March 2.
