The Stone Keeper and other drawings
Here are a few fantastic drawings from Bridget. Bridget, I love Peet’s ragged haphazardry, and agree with you regarding the Stone Keeper as nightmare fuel. And those Fangs are very fierce. Very well done. This week, Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 50-54 of The Warden and the Wolf King. Check back on Friday for an excerpt, and to […]

Slithering, skittering
To think that as recently as a year ago, creatures like this lived only two days’ ride from my house! And some may still; who knows? How hideous this mangling. How sad this sadness. “Look!” Kalmar said, pointing at something large and scaly as it slithered out of sight. Another rustle came from the other […]

Into the Monster (a review)
Andrew Joyce over at Into the Book wrote a review of The Monster in the Hollows, and it sounds like he was really into it. Thankfully, nobody (that we know of) literally ended up in the gullet of said monster. Here’s a snippet of the review. The Monster in the Hollows is the third of four, and it […]

Bellowed defiance
Thousands and thousands of Fangs. A little army equipped with forks and farming tools. One leader, bellowing ferocity into the hearts of his followers. Read this section aloud—and bellow. Bonus: Check out this video of Andrew reading a different section of this chapter. Then the wind carried a sound out of the darkness, from the […]

Totato Soup
This last weekend was Hutchmoot, and one of the meals Chef Lewis Graham made was Totato Soup. It’s too good not to share, so here you go—and since the recipe makes such a very lot of soup, invite a few friends to help you eat it. While you’re all eating, read to them. Ingredients: One 3-5 lb. bag of […]

Yellow cheek water
“I don’t care what color it is!” This exchange cracks me up every time I read it. “So why did you come?” Claxton asked Jimbob, though his eyes were still fixed on Maraly. “The Fangs say they need our help.” Jimbob’s voice trembled. “They say that if you don’t come and fight, they’ll treat us […]

Refuge
In Dugtown, that villainous hive of scum and wretchery, Sara and her orphans have made a cozy home. Sometimes we find ourselves in villainous places, and we are powerless to change the villainy. But we don’t have to live in fear. And a cozy place where we can love and be loved can push back […]

Andrew and the Song Maiden
You’ve seen Andrew and his Song Maiden Skye sing this song before, and you’ve downloaded the recorded version. You may have even seen them play it live! But here is a new video, recorded just a couple of weeks ago. It features Skye playing a hauntingly beautiful accordion solo. Give it a listen, and have a pocket-handkerchief […]

The Houndry Corps fights back
This is such a stirring scene. I recall hearing that single woof from our snug house that night, and wondering what it meant. Professor Sidler and I are so grateful for those dogs and their fearless mistress. Leeli made her way downstairs in the quiet of the house. She knew there were wounded Hollowsfolk in most […]
