Leeli and the dragon
Oy, readers. We have made it, together, through some very hard experiences, and now we stand, together, at the end of book two. Some of the chapters we’ve read recently have broken my heart.

Technical difficulties
Dear readers, You may have noticed some weirdnesses on the site recently—random errors, or comments not submitting. We’ve been experimenting with a few different spam filters. Spam filters are like ridgerunners. They are sly and easily bought, and have betrayed us a time or two. It seems everything is currently working, but if you should ever […]

Wingfeather Lego drawings
What creativity—this young man (also named Andrew) drew several Wingfeather characters, made to look like Lego minifigures. Are they cool or what? He drew these when he was 11—but today is his 15th birthday. Happy birthday, Andrew! And thanks for the drawings! Our Andrew’s birthday is this week, too, on Thursday. I’ve started a […]

Beauty and rest
In the midst of exhaustion, fear, danger, and loneliness, beauty can be a refuge. Difficult things are happening to the Wingibys. The last few weeks’ excerpts have been hard, and next week’s is likely to be hard as well. But for now, just rest here a minute. The hollow seemed safe enough. It was the first peaceful spot […]
