FAQ #1: Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?
Greetings, Wingfeather fans! Over the past few years I’ve had the great pleasure of visiting schools to talk about the Wingfeather Saga, and there are several questions that I’m asked every single time. I figured it would be fun to share some of those questions and answers here. Where did you get your inspiration? The […]

Into the light
Only one more week of The Monster in the Hollows! The last line of this excerpt is one of my favorites. Sara led the children down the long hallway and paused at the double doors that led to the main room where the Overseer’s carriage had unloaded each of them over the years. She hadn’t […]

Under the tree
This week’s book club reading—chapters 40-46 of The Monster in the Hollows—was hard. If you struggled through the Phoobs chapters from North! Or Be Eaten, you probably felt your heart twisting as you read this section, too. But as Artham said in the Phoobs, “This story will end well. I don’t know how, but things will be […]

Snowball fight
I, like Janner, love this rare moment of playfulness. “What’s this?” Nia asked. “My houndrick.” Leeli clicked her tongue, and the six dogs sat. “Your houndrick?” Nia climbed down from the carriage to inspect it. “Thorn and Biggin O’Sally commissioned it from the woodwrightery last month, just for me. It was finished today.” … Nia […]

Good news for adventurers!
If you live overseas, need an adjustable font, or require more books than you can feasibly carry (I understand!), chances are that you want an eBook. And if you’re an adventurer, hacking your way through the Jungles of Plonst or sneaking up behind a bomnubble in the Stony Mountains (with the wind whistling through your […]

Snickbuzzards? Woe!
Of all the creatures in Aerwiar, the snickbuzzard is perhaps the most lobidious. Why? Read on to find out, although I warn you—I haven’t slept since seeing the picture at the bottom of this post.

Theology Mix interview
Awhile back Andrew did an interview with Scott McCausey over at Theology Mix. They talked about a ton of things, including marriage and parenting and music and faith, and in the process talked a lot about The Wingfeather Saga. “Is there a heart beating inside these characters? Are they people that you care about? … I’ve got these wooden […]

Find your story
This, dear readers, is what I love about the Great Library—my library. Our library. Everyone can find their own story here. It is a wonderful glowing feeling to see a reader connect with a book that helps them know who they are. Can I help you? Janner had never seen so many books in one place. […]
