Jade City Cover Reveal & ARC Giveaway
The cover of Jade City was revealed today on Book Riot! Check out the official reveal.
The art department of my publisher, Orbit, couldn’t have created a more bold and dramatic cover and I’m thrilled with it. The finished book is going to have a title that glows like lit jade, and the tagline is so perfect it gives me shivers.
And that’s not all. I’m now in possession of Advance Reading Copies of Jade City and I’m giving three of them away right now. Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway below. Open internationally until May 23. You can also add Jade City to your Goodreads list or pre-order it on Amazon.

Jade City book deal announcement
I can’t overstate how thrilled I am to make this announcement. My next book (and adult debut), Jade City, sold to Orbit books in a three-book deal. The first novel will come out November 7. That’s right, this November. The news is out in Publisher’s Weekly today, calling it, accurately, “a Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kung fu.”
I love this book. It’s the most ambitious thing I’ve ever written. I’m incredibly invested in and excited by it and can’t wait to share it with readers.

Exo has been named a Spring 2017 Junior Library Guild Selection. The JLG reviews books prior to publication and selects a small number of them to deliver directly to schools and libraries, so I’m once again honored to have my work chosen by them.

Radio SFWA Performance
For me, one of the highlights of the Nebula Awards & Banquet this year was being on stage for this rousing song and dance performance of Radio SFWA, the anthem of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, composed and sung by Henry Lien.
