One of the inspiration images for The Too-Clever Fox, a Ravkan folk tale that will be available for free on Tor.com on June 4th.
The Witch of Duva was a (loose) retelling of Hansel & Gretel. You may recognize another familiar fairytale in TCF ;)

I’ve suddenly been assaulted with ample amounts of free time and I know not what to do with myself. So I chose to capitalize on my obsessed feels with Siege and Storm coming out in FIVE DAYS.
Enjoy! And don’t be surprised if you see more art bursting out here.

The Story Behind Winter Prayer
Today on the blog tour, I visit Two Chicks on Books and share the story of how we wrote and produced the song, Winter Prayer.
You can see a pic of me with my old band and hear the first very rough recording of the melody with piano.
Quotes from Nik, Aaron, and Laura (some of my amazing friends who worked on the song) included!

LAUNCH PARTY UPDATE!
Hoping to see some of your lovely faces at the Siege and Storm launch party on June 3rd at 7pm in Hollywood. Things to know:
1. First 25 people at the door get “Darkness Never Dies” totebags. Awwww yissss. (We’ll have loads of swag, prizes, and launch party exclusive treats to give away all night.)
2. Yup, you can buy Siege and Storm on site. You can also pre-order signed and personalized copies through Mysterious Galaxy Redondo Beach.
3. A note about parking: Valet at Hemingway’s (by Beso’s Valet) is $10. Unfortunately, nearby lots are even more expensive, but there is a little bit of free street parking to be found after six.

Get the story behind the maps in Shadow and Bone and Siege and Storm (including a good view of the expanded map in the Siege hardcover):
Why does the Ravkan double eagle hold three arrows in his talon? Learn the truth!
What does a map drawn by an author who shouldn’t be allowed to draw maps look like? Witness my shame!
How did Keith Thompson take that sad little sketch and turn it into something gorgeous? His secrets revealed!
You can see it all at the Ravenous Reader
