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.

This is just a quick, delighted post to say that I will be briefly in the UK in June, and my UK publishers have managed to squeeze in two public events among the non-public ones. I know it's not very widespread, but I will be back at some point after THE RAVEN BOYS, I swear. Plus, a little part of me is leaping up and down because one of my 2012 New Years' Resolutions was "Go to Wales." Hay-on-... read more »

“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.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

“It is possible to be in love with you just because of who you are.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

“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.”

Nawang 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.

Yousra Medhkour 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.


Seprath Forever in Shadow Cant wait to The Raven Boys Maggie ^~^

Christie 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! :)


message 304: by Amber

Amber 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!!


message 303: by Zennia

Zennia 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!!

Lily 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.

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! :)

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

message 281: by Ximena

Ximena Brisbane 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

I heard about the prank... yhou could call the first Liter! and you could name one Sam Cole Roth!!!!!!!


message 272: by Jenna!

Jenna! Oh my freaking gosh!! ! I just finished Forever, and it was awesome! I am horribly sad that it is over though. I love the world, the characters, the love story, and just overall I completely love the series. By far my favorite series of all time. I'd like to personally thank you Maggie Stiefvater for writing this wonderful series that has captivated me from the beginning. I'm pretty sure that I owe my love of reading to you, because Shiver is what really got me started. So again, thank you for writing this wonderful series!! !


Missy (apollogirl7) Maggie! I just finished Forever...It was so good! Hope I get to see you on your tour... I really want to meet you!


Hello Seattle (♫Sarah♫) OMG! I love love love love love love Sam! Can I pull him out of the book and have him as my boyfriend?!

Malxox ♥ Hey Maggie,
I can NOT wait until Forever is out! I'm so looking forward to it, I love the cover! I love your books :)


Missy (apollogirl7) Maggie, as a very serious person (not really) I have to ask a very serious question. Okay, here it is: what is your favorite color?
Hahahahaha
I'm so excited for FOREVER. I'm saving up to buy it. Thanks for being amazing.

MT OMG maggie im not sure if this ur decision (or mine lol) but if ur still looking for an actor to play sam in the shiver movie I think Darren Criss is a very very very very very very very good HOT amzingly talented candidate!!!!! just saying ;)
