My short story, “The Witch of Duva,” has now been published in Germany! I kind of want Dee Hex von Duva to be my burlesque name. But that would require burlesque.


The story is a Ravkan folk tale set in the same world as Shadow and Bone and the Grisha Trilogy, but with different characters. Warning: It’s a bit darker than S&B. 


If you’d like to read it in English, you can download it for 99 cents from Amazon, B&N, or iTunes, or you can read it for FREE at Tor.com. (Free!)

I’ve been getting lots of requests for the First and Second Army Posters that we gave away as part of our Anderson’s promotion. They were designed by Marissa Mukavetz who is thinking about selling them in her etsy store. If you want one, go like her Facebook page and let her know!

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to write Shadow and Bone? I've been trying to write a book all summer and I'm still only at 20,000 words. It's probably because I keep editing when I should just be writing, and I keep axing scenes that no lo

It took me just under a year with time off for research and fretting. Everyone has a different way of working, but my best advice would be to stop revising and just get a complete draft out of the way. My first draft had questions written into the text, multiple versions of the same scene, etc. Just turn off the internal editor and barrel through. You can do it!
