The Brothers Groth – Simon and Yours Truly – had an auspicious start to their collaboration with novel, Concentrate, being shortlisted in the 2009 Text Prize (although it still has yet to be contracted by a publisher…WTF).
The draft of the second B-Gro work, Infinite Blue, is underway and promises more YA lit of the highest order. Here’s a blurb:
Infinite Blue
The Brothers Groth
Skye Sandalford’s boyfriend, Clayton Drummond, is earmarked for greatness. Nineteen years old and propelled by size eighteen feet, he is the prototype of a swimming prodigy. But his destiny won’t only be defined by world records. Powered by ‘Team Drum’ – comprising career-plotting mother, Blythe, God-fearing father, Len, and an entourage of consultants – this good looking, articulate Aussie dubbed ‘Wake’ can transcend the boundaries of sport and fire the imagination of a world in search of heroes.
