It’s official—Their Fractured Lightis hitting the road in December! We’re hitting up five cities across the country to sign books, chat with readers like you, and spread the #starboundlove!
Check out the official tour reveal on Hypable for the list of stops we’ll be making, plus an interview with me and Amie about what you’re going to find in the final book of the Starbound trilogy. (Hint: you’re going to see some familiar faces….)
And remember, reblogging, retweeting, and regramming any posts...

Hi! I was wondering, do you know of anywhere where I could acquire a poster of "These Broken Stars"? I have the "This Shattered World" poster, but I really would love to have the whole set :)
Right now, the only way to get posters from the first two books in the Starbound trilogy is via the starboundlove contest(this is exactly so people who missed out on the first or second books can have a shot at completing the collection!). Unfortunately we have so few posters left from the first two pre-order offers that we can’t give them away to everyone who wants them. :(

How do I get a Skylark Discussion Guide Book? And a Skylark Bookmark?
I believe you can find an online/printable version of the official Skylark discussion guide on the publisher’s website here.(Just for those of you who haven’t read the book yet, be aware, there ARE spoilers in the discussion guide, so proceed at your own risk!)
As for bookmarks, there’s a printable bookmark there, or you can send a SASE to me (with return postage!) and I can mail you a Skylark bookmark and/or whatever other goodies your little heart might desire. :) (With the exception of post...

Researchers at theRuhr-Universität Bochum have compiled the largest ever image of the Milky Way. We’re talkin’ billions o’ pixels.
And it’s searchable:
Using the online tool, any interested person can view the complete ribbon of the Milky Way at a glance, or zoom in and inspect specific areas. An input window, which provides the position of the displayed image section, can be used to search for specific objects. If the user types in “Eta Carinae”, for example, the tool mo...

Man, I love this idea! A travel postcard from Avon. (On account of how it’s pretty much the last place in the galaxy anyone would voluntarily go. Although I suppose Flynn does live there…)

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner“I could tell myself that I’m doing it because she’ll get back to her feet just to spite me—but the truth is, I really just want to piss her off. Keeping her moving is a bonus.”
Oh wow, this is just lovely!
Can we get a picture of just the TFL poster? :-)
Yes, of course!
We’d love to show you the back, which has the first chapter of our new upcoming book, Unearthed, but it’s still a secret… you can’t find it anywhere else, so the posters will be the first time anyone other than us and our editor gets to see it!
(For those of you who don’t know, this is the poster you get when you pre-order Their Fractured Lightfrom a participating store here!)
