Me: I’m going to make pumpkin bread. You want some?
Mom: No I really need to lose weight. Let me know if you make pumpkin pie.
Well, if you’re gonna do something wrong, do itright.

Have you ever wondered where books come from?
Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.
Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:
You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little…
I have a friend and I'm giving her These Broken Stars for her birthday, but I'd SUPER love it to be signed to her... how can I send you a book to sign? On your contact page it says not to send you books at your mailing address.
There are a few options!
Write to me using these instructions and tell me about your friend and I can send a signed book plate to go insideThese Broken Stars. I can personalize the book plate to her.
Contact the bookstore One More Page in Arlington, VA, as I believe they may still have a copy or two left that is signed by both me AND Amie, which is pretty rare since we live on opposite sides of the world. Note that with this option I can’t personalize the book to your friend, because I’m not in...

You know what’s weird? Nowhere in the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme does it actually say he was an egg.
Further investigation has revealed to this reporter that one theory about the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme is that it’s about Richard III falling off his horse and getting cut to pieces in battle. Though there are like a billion reasons this is probably not the correct theory, I LIKE IT ANYWAY BECAUSE OF REASONS.
Apparently the more likely history-based theory is that it was...
You never explain how Tarver got to be so famous and I really wanted to know. do you explain it in book two or is it just something that never gets explained?
Aha! Please see previous ask reply re: Tarver e-short. Because yes, we do explain it. But not in book two..
The upcoming e-short,This Night So Dark,is all about what happened to Tarver before he boarded theIcarus, and how he got all those medals and commendations. All we know fromThese Broken Starsis that the galaxy thinks he’s a hero, but he doesn’t really agree.
The e-short will explain why. It also has some pretty pivotal information hinting at reveals to come later in the series, as well, s...
Is the novella going to be available in print eventually because I want to read it so bad but I don't have a kindle or anything...
At the moment, there are no plans to put the forthcomingThis Night So DarkTarver e-short into print, no. We do plan to write others, though, so maybe some day an anthology of all six stories will happen! It’s good to know there’d be interest in a print version, definitely.
That said, you can tooootally still read it without an e-reader. I’m personally only familiar with Amazon/Kindle, which has a free, downloadable program for your computer that allows you to read their e-books that way, all p...
omg what the eff this book has killed me how do I keep living???
Okay, so I have no idea which book you’re talking about (though uuuusually when people reference “my book,” singular, they’re talking aboutThese Broken Stars,as Skylarkhas a sequel already out?)but I’ll take that compliment, thanks! Or possibly insult? I’m uncertain… but either way something seems to have made you Feel Things, and that makes me feel like it’s a job well done! So I’ll take it.
(Thanks? Maybe?)
