I''m very happy to announce that The She-Hulk Diaries, my next novel, will be published by Hyperion on June 18, 2013. You can read more about the book in Publishers Weekly.
NYT bestselling author and comic book legend Peter David offered an early endorsement, saying:
Marta Acosta's "SHE-HULK DIARIES" is an absolute delight. Those who are unfamiliar with Bruce Banner's wayward cousin are in for a treat as they read about Jennifer Walters and her first hand dilemmas trying to navigate her new attorney's job, an old flame, and the ongoing festivities/adventures/partying life of her gamma-irradiated female Hulk side. Whether you like She-Hulk straight up, comedic, or a combination of both, SHE-HULK DIARIES is the She-Hulk endeavor for you.In the midst of my good news, I was saddened to learn that Peter has had a stroke. I've never met Peter, but I hope he has recovers soon. Here are some ways to help him out, the most significant one being to buy his books on Amazon, using this link, or at Barnes & Noble, using this link. ComicMix has set up a page to buy his ebooks.

Congratulations, Marta! I remember when I saw you at Powell's you hinted that something was coming this summer. I love the cover and the concept! Can't wait to hear more.
Congratulations, Marta! This sounds like such fun!
Hi, Cat! It was fun having dinner with you and I was aching to tell you about my book especially after you gave me a sneak peak at your fantastic book cover.
Hey, Suzanne, I had a great time getting back to humor. I like switching up things. Hope all is well with your wonderful Royal Street books.
I have to admit, I was one of the people who saw She-Hulk Diaries and thought "oh no! chick-lit!" but then you reached out to Reel Girl and shared your thoughts. I had every intention of reading SHD, because I love She-Hulk, but now I am looking forward to it with enthusiasm, instead of trepidation. I apologize for my knee-jerk reaction. Goodness knows we need more superheroine ANYthing out there, and fans like me can't afford to dismiss any treatment out of hand.
Hi, Wendy! Thanks for visiting. I'm rather surprised at the way "chick lit" has gone from being something positive to a slur. When my first book was published, I couldn't find any sites dedicated to humorous fiction. Maybe they exist now, but not then. Most men who write humorous fiction focus on romantic relationships in their novels, but they're never labeled the same way women are.
