A family portrait
Hannah sent in this great drawing of Podo, Nia, Leeli, Kalmar, Janner, and Artham. There’s so much personality in their faces and postures. And Hannah, those wings are gorgeous. Guys, can you imagine Artham flying into battle, dual-wielding longswords? Awesome. This week, Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 8-14 of North! Or Be Eaten. Check back […]

Into the gully
Yes! Our first excerpt from North! Or Be Eaten! Isn’t this fun? This week, I read chapters 1-7, and present to you my favorite snippet. What I appreciate about it is the growing sense of foreboding as every “If” brings the Igibys closer to the doom pronounced by the last three words. Suddenly Janner found himself skidding down […]

An interview and a giveaway
Everly Pleasant over at Kindred Grace recently interviewed Andrew. In the interview, they talk about many aspects of writing: The different challenges of book-writing and songwriting, writer’s block, how to know if you’re meant to be an author, which Wingfeather book was the most fun for Andrew to write, and more. It’s a great interview. […]

“And that’s final.”
Here we are—Aerwiar!—at the end of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. I have loved reading with you all these last two months, and knowing that we’ve still got three books to go makes me gladder than glad.

On Starting the First Book
No, not that First Book. I mean the first book of the Wingfeather Saga, also known as On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, which might be one of the longest, silliest book titles ever. For the record, it was my wonderful editor Jeanette Thompson who suggested it. People are always interested in […]

Drawing strength
Behold the following excerpt, my favorite from chapters 39-44 of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. The situation is dire, and Janner’s worries are legitimate, but he’s not alone. Is there anyone who gives you strength when you’re afraid? Who makes you feel like you can be more than you are? We’re almost […]

Taking Flight with the Wingfeather Saga
Check out this enthusiastic and kind Fangirl Initiative review of the Wingfeather Saga by Rica Wiersema. Here’s a snippet: Peterson enchants the most mundane of objects, sometimes by doing little more than renaming them; you have to admit that a dinner of cheesy chowder with totatoes on the side and sugarberry pie for dessert sounds heavenly. […]

Introducing Madame Sidler
Greetings, Dear Readers! Andrew here, writing from my favorite little afternoon writing spot in Nashville. I don’t want to give away my (very) secret location, but I can tell you it’s the sort of place Jack and Tollers might have hung out in the afternoons in the Old Country–and it smells really good in here. […]
