Literally the most Kingfisher a book has ever been

You can always find room for a short story in that world.

Also…the most Kingfisher that Kingfisher has ever been and I also look forward to sharing therapy with you all

Emperor Mage! Book three of the Wild Magic books has the main character mae friends with some hyenas, who are also sacred to a goddess

Thank goodness for Ilona Andrews and Tamora Pierce, giving the hyenas the fantasy treatment that they deserve

I love Large Francis so much

Make these people actually serve their communities and their countries.

Pick up trash.

Fill in potholes.

Build low income housing.

Also.

If they want to feel like they’re soldiers, send them to dig well and distribute aid in the most awful places
In the world

Does it make you anxious when you receive gifts while doing signings?

Are there things that can help make you less anxious?

The Retired Assassin’s Guide to Country Gardening by Naomi Kuttner. There’s a sequel as well.

The Retired Assassin’s Guide to Orchid Hunting. They’re set in New Zealand

I just got this book!!!

Merry Christmas to us!!!!!!!!

So Wolf Worm, Daggerbound, and then new paladins. I love that Tor and Orbit are taking good care of your books

Other than a release date for the next Saint of Swords book, this would make the best Christmas gift ever.

Not gonna lie, there is a part of me, the part that loves spreadsheets and alphabetising that would get so much joy out of a pony/ dice room.

Its brilliant. I can’t wait for it to traumatise people 😂

To be fair, I am also the bookseller who walks into stores that I don’t walk in (department stores that is) and asks to speak to a manager to explain why Brynne Weaver and Raven Kennedy shouldn’t be in their “teen” section even if they are popular on TikTok

Bad booksellers! Papercuts for rh all!

THIS booksellers knows exactly where to put them.

(And which customers won’t be truly traumatised by Wolf Worm because that one is both brilliant and deeply upsetting on a visceral level)

(I loved it)

This is why the importance of librarians, and booksellers, and why we miss Blockbuster 😂

“I am trying to be truthful”

“It’s scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife”

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.

A year in which you released how many other titles?????

I suppose any year in which you don’t release at least five books counts as slow in context

100%

I can’t wait for people to read her. Also can’t wait for people to realise how chapter one completely changed everything & how long you must have been sitting on that little piece of knowledge.

The more info there is, the more I try to understand the layers in the up and under. Oz not being one!

Thank you for answering. Sometimes I can almost see where some of the layers of your research have come from. I’ve never read Baum so I wondered about this one.

(Lilianne is so good as a character btw!)

As part of your research process, I mean.

@seananmcguire.bsky.social I have a non-spoilery Alchemical Journeys question that has come from reading an arc of Inkpot Gods.

If Asphodel’s books are in a sort of in competition with L. Frank Baum’s Oz books in-universe, did you decide to use those books as part of writing the Up-and-Under?

Finished a new book you say…
ALL of cheese for you

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Also the funniest and most underrated Australian comedy out there

Dear Mothman is a MG book in verse about a trans kid mourning the loss of his friend by sending letters to the Mothman.

It’s beautiful
