Interview: What was the most challenging aspect of writing Hidden Huntress?

I'm at Addicted Readers answering lots of great questions.

Where is my copy of Hidden Huntress?

I was hoping things would work out and I could avoid writing this post, but alas, I have not been so fortunate. So MANY of you wonderful readers who preordered HIDDEN HUNTRESS paperbacks have been receiving notices that you won’t get your books until after June 30. The reason for this is that the books went to print in the U.S. later than they should have. As a result, my distributer (Penguin Random House), moved the release date to one where they could be certain books would be in bookstores (June 30).

HOWEVER, thanks to some great work by the Angry Robot sales guru, the books made it into the PRH warehouse on May 25 and were immediately shipped out to retailers, who will be receiving books this week and next. BUT many of the retailers still have the June 30th date in their system, so until that refreshes, they are telling buyers they won’t get their books until after that. All that being said, you SHOULD get your books long before that June 30th date.

I know it’s super frustrating for those of you who have been waiting to catch up with your favourite troll, but please hang tight a little longer.

A letter from Anaïs, written as she watches over the injured Cécile

Dearest Readers,

I confess, I was somewhat uncertain of how to address this letter. I am not Tristan or Marc, and I’m certainly not the twins, so if you are reading this believing to find some human-loving spark buried deep within my heart, please set aside those foolish hopes. You are human and I am a troll, and as such, I am superior to you in the way a dragon is a sparrow. You are not dear to me.

I am smiling while I reread my words, as I can see them undoing all the goodwill I’ve built with you over this brief chapter of my life where you were present. As though those few months and occasional meetings were enough for you to presume to know me. To know my story.

So why address your letter dearest, you ask? Why not to the creatures I look down upon or to those I grudgingly tolerate? Why write to us at all? The answer is this: while you are not dear to me, the cause you all profess to champion is more precious to me than my own life.

Surprised, aren’t you? How many of you believed that my every action was driven by my affection for Tristan? Please. Did you never stop to think that half the reason I loved him was because we fought for the same thing, if for different reasons? Tristan fights for the half-bloods and humans because he believes you are our equals. I fight for you because I believe it is the duty of the strong to protect those who are weak. And you have my father to thank for that...

Where to get signed copies of Hidden Huntress

For those wanting personalized and signed copies of Hidden Huntress, this post is for you. Owl’s Nest Books is hosting my launch party on June 9th at 7pm. If you are local, please please come and make me feel popular. You can buy books there and I will sign them for you. But if you are out of town, fear not! Order a copy through them prior to my party, and I will personalize and sign them that night. Shipping in Canada is a flat rate of $10,  and shipping to the U.S. is actual cost (usually $10-$12, in my experience).  The opportunity is only available until June 9 :)
