The Igiby cottage
We now have art for the Igiby cottage! What do you think of this little homely house? I just noticed the flowers in the window box. Skree is under Fang occupation, and Nia plants flowers. I have Thoughts about that, and would love to hear yours. Andrew’s Edge of Dawn tour just wrapped up last night. […]

Tumbled backwards
This second section of Douglas Kaine McKelvey’s Wingfeather Tale begins with a quote from one of my favorite books. (I appreciate the epigraphs in this story so much. I can’t decide whether this one, or the one from part four, is my favorite.) I have been reading out loud to myself, which is sometimes difficult because DKM […]

Small moments
“The Places Beyond the Maps.” This paragraph stood out because it reminded me of the Igiby cottage, and yet the stories of these two families are so profoundly different. (More on that in the forum? I would love to hear your thoughts.) One did not ask for much in those days, just to be together, just […]

Douglas McKelvey: An introduction and an announcement
High-quality weirdo Douglas Kaine McKelvey is one of the best writers any of us have ever heard of. His craft spans works of beauty, absurdity, tragedy, brilliancy, surreality, and heartwarbling poignancy. He is also the president of the International Conspiracy & Trade Company and a world-renowned expert on cassowaries, and he has directed some very fine videos. Doug’s most recent book […]

Third cousins? Whatever.
Jonathan Rogers’ translation of the legendary “Ballad of Lanric and Rube” is much funnier than Eezak Fencher’s, probably because Jonathan Rogers is much funnier than Eezak Fencher (despite Eezak’s much funnier name). There was some rumor early on that Dr. Rogers was thinking of writing a story about someone trying to sell toothy cow milk under the […]

Glipwood by the Sea
New animated series artwork, just released yesterday: Glipwood! You’ve seen a peek of this view behind the characters on the series poster, but this is a new concept of the little town by the cliffs where the Igiby three grew up. (If you miss the old Glipwood, don’t worry; it’s still there, just to the right […]

Redeemed Reader Review
Today I bring to you a starred review of Wingfeather Tales from Betsy at Redeemed Reader, a book review website which seeks to inculcate habits of “thinking Christianly” through children’s literature. Imagine if a group of professional authors and illustrators were so enamored with Lewis’s Narnia that they each created a unique new story—not an addition [to] […]

Wooing Nurgabog
It were a difficult thing to pick an excerpt from this formidable text. It shivers, shudders, and sings with sentences so sqwyrmy and masterful that I feared for me own safety should I be caught betwixt snippets fearsomely fine and equally postable. But in the end, this one prevailed. “I knew it was Nurgabog,” said Gnut victoriously. […]

Happy Kickstarterversary!
A year ago today, just before midnight, Andrew posted the first update on the Kickstarter campaign we’d launched that morning. Twenty four hours later, he posted a deliriously happy poem for The End of Day Two. At 8:28 the following morning, the base goal was FUNDED. The rest of that month went by in a […]
