After months of chirping on Twitter about her ‘Secret Novel’, Willow finally dishes some tantalizing detail about her debut work of prose fiction over at Newsarama: http://geek-news.mtv.com/2011/06/22/the-resurrection-of-mystic-an-interview-with-writer-g-willow-wilson-and-editor-jeanine-schaefer/

“I just finished my first prose novel, Alif the Unseen, which I think comics readers will love. It comes out next spring.

Excitements!
