April: ALIEN: ECHO, written under the Mira Grant byline. I become part of the glorious tapestry that is ALIEN! I make my official YA debut, which may unlock some of the YA books I've written over the years! Angry men tell me my existence has killed the franchise!
(It's been kinda fun, how many pissed-off dudes--and they've all been dudes--have told me that I, personally, am responsible for the demise of ALIEN as a viable horror property, because I wrote a young adult novel.)
(As if the golden age of horror movies weren't roughly the same as the golden age of science fiction? Twelve to sixteen. I was way less interested in penetration that didn't involve knives or ovipositors at that age than I was in watching monsters eat people.)
The quality of the book--which I think is pretty high, personally--does not appear to matter as much as the fact that it's being marketed to teenagers, and was written by a filthy lady-type person.
