About this author
All of Maggie Stiefvater's life decisions have been based around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pajamas are frowned upon when you're a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical editor (all of which she's tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists and artists. She's made her living as one or the other since she was 22. She now lives an eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia with her charmingly straight-laced husband, two kids, two neurotic dogs, and a 1973 Camaro named Loki.

Aw, Brenna. Fair confession: she's my critique partner, so I saw this manuscript when it was just an infant. But it's lovely and creepy and you'll like it, too. Serial killers (a little), ghosts (a little), and love (a little). |

“You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you.”

“What do you eat?"
"Baby bunnies." She narrowed her eyes, so I grinned and said, "Adult bunnies, too. I'm an equal-opportunity bunny-eater.”

SORRY BUT I'M DELETING YOU FROM MY LIFE! *clicks delete* LOADING... ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ 99%. ERROR! It is impossible to delete our friendship, I love you too much. Post this to 10 people's walls who you never want to lose. If you get 3 back, you're an amazing friend :D
Just wanted to say that I just read The Scorpio Races and I absolutely loved it! Can't wait for more from you in The Raven Boys!
I really appreciate you accepting my friend request! I just want to tell you that... I love your books. I hope you keep on writing and improving.
Thank you so much for accepting my friend request! Also I just wanted to say I truly loved the Mercy Falls series. Everyone of the books left me eager waiting for the next. I was sad when it was over, but regardless, I enjoyed the entire series throughout. I can't wait for The Raven Boys. Really looking forward to it.
Hi Maggie, Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. I'm so excited for The Raven Boys the cover is amazing! Hurry up September 18th! :)
Hi Maggie! First off thank you for accepting my friend request. I really adore your books. I just wanted to send you a comment about that blog post you did about people and "reviews". The other day I went to go look at the reviews for Lauren Kate's new book Fallen In Love because I really enjoyed it and wanted to see what other people thought. Almost all the posts that were at the top were negative ones that ripped Lauren Kate to shreads. The thing that made it even worse was NONE of them actually read the book. All I could do was shake my head. I hate how most of the time the top reviews on Goodreads are the horrible ones! Also wanted to say I really can't wait for MagicalNovel to be released. I love reading about it in all your blogs! Hope you have a good day! Thanks again!!
thank you for accepting my friend request!! i really love your books especially the wolves of mercy falls!! it's cool on how cole tries his best to get a cure for everyone and kinda sad that isabel has to go back to california... you should make a forth book for it it feels like it hasn't ended yet... i wanna know what happens to grace, if she got cured or not... but they should make it a movie!!
AHHH thank you for accepting my friend request! you are one of my all time favorite authers! i just love you and your books soooo much! THe books were honestly one of the best wolve storys i have read in a while! i loved the main characters even though in some parts of the shiver series i did ball my eyes out they were still absoultly amazing! and the scorpio races? totally different but a good type of different! I love the romance and the heartbreak in your novels ! i honestly wish i had my very own sam! i love him and think hes amazing! but i cant sad days! i really hope you will make another scorpio races even though it seemed like you werent going to i still have unanswered questions and i really really hope you do! thankyou for accepting the request and making thoses amazing books! and maybe makeing a squel....
Thank you for accepting my friend request. Just finish Linger and starting Forever. The book just gets better and better the farther I go the more i want to know how it ends for Sam. I really enjoy the characters and Cole is one of them. Sam I wish I knew him in real life sounds like a awesome guy.

Maggie~You inspired me to write books. You are helping me write suspensfully, cleverly, and poetically. Sam and Grace's story was so much different than Twilight! Other's comments may differ, but you came up with something SO original and SO beautiful! Thanks for hours of happy reading! Merry belated Christmas! :)
Love,
Rosie Berry
If I make 1,000 paper cranes I can have a wish right?I will make 1,000 paper cranes and wish for more Sam and Grace....

You already answered this for me on your FB Author chat this evening with Dymocks Books. Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions!
Maggie, Are you completely finished with the Lament/Ballad series? I just read them, (I know late bloomer), and thoroughly enjoyed them. I wish there were more books to this series! Looking forward to Scorpio Races! Sad that Mercy Falls series is at a close. I really enjoy your writing! Have a fantastic week! --- Holli

Enjoyed reading your poem very much. It sure fits the story.
Maggie,I recently finished Forever, and there are very few words. Your writing is pure poetry in motion. I just loved the story and characters and adored it all to the very end. I will miss this world for sure! Thank you for such an amazing, beautiful tale of love and adventure!

SORRY BUT I'M DELETING YOU FROM MY LIFE! *clicks delete* LOADING... ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ 99%. ERROR! It is impossible to delete our friendship, I love you too much. Post this to 1O people's walls who you never want to lose. If you get 3 back, you're an amazing friend :D
hey maggie, this is a poem about shiver that i wrote. it may be a bit vague but i just wanted to show you :)From summer she arrives,
And further goes into their lives
his yellow eyes always inviting
and to her his kiss is enticing
The eyes of the wolves are soft puddles of hue
of greens, browns, yellows, and blues
will the young boy with yellow eyes
ever know when he will say his last goodbyes?
How could love to them be so pitiless?
but in the end, they all clean up the bloody mess
how softly they lock lips and bodies
in conclusion, they've all found their peace
Thanks so much for the friendship! I just finished Forever and although I'm sad that it's over, it made me really happy to experiance that series! Shiver is definately one of my favorite books of all time! I still remember the first time I finished reading it and how floored I was. I just recently finished your Faerie books as well and they are equally awesome! Keep up the great work Maggie! :)
Hi :) thanks for accepting my friend request :) i loved reading Shiver and Linger and once my sister is finished with Forever i will read it!! :D also LOVED Lament and i have Ballad waiting for me :)
Hi Maggie, thankyou so much for accepting my friend request, I loved Shiver and I'm waiting to buy Linger and I can't wait for Forever too! :)
Ugh, okay so I haven't read forever yet (YET!!) but I'm working on getting money! but I have an idea! (yes, i also put this on youtube) you should make a spin off series! I heard about the prank... yhou could call the first Liter! and you could name one Sam Cole Roth!!!!!!!
Maggie! I just finished Forever...It was so good! Hope I get to see you on your tour... I really want to meet you!
OMG! I love love love love love love Sam! Can I pull him out of the book and have him as my boyfriend?!
I too went to see you in Naperville and you are sooo funny! Thanks for staying late to sign all of our books! You are awesome! Can't wait to see you again next month! Can't wait for Forever!!!!
OMG Maggie It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING AND LIKE UNREAL TO SEE U IN NAPERVILLE YESTURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see u in chicago again!!!!!!! I just cannot get over the fact that i actually saw u in person i am suprised how calm i acted if i wasnt in shock i probably would have been screaming at the top of lungs and jumping around making a fool of myself (but it would totally be worth it) LOLZ!!But it really seemed like you, Meg cabot , and libba bray really were best friends and you guys are just so happy and bubbley and you guys just feed off each others happiness and it was great you all are amazing talented women and i was so excited to see u in person!!! WOW! This is a long message so im gonna stop now! But thank u soo much for coming!!! It means sooo much to me and for everyone who came!<3 MT
I just finished Ballad (SO good) and I have just one question: When is the next faerie book due out?
Thanks for accepting my friends request! I've been reading your blog for some time, huge fan! Also, I read WARM BODIES after reading your recommendation, thanks! Odd & wonderful at the same time. I love all things Zombie, didn't think I'd be rooting for them though! Read your blog about your new kitty: PROS, CONS,.... (Con #1) Sure it was the kitty!!
Thanks for accepting my request and it's such a pleasure to meet you! Absolutely LOVE the line "I'm an equal-opportunity bunny-eater."
@Jenna - that is a lot of suns! Thanks! @Missy - green. No, black. No, green.
@Malxox - thank you!!
