#1 NYT Bestseller of many things. Writes novels. Funny ha ha or funny strange. Likes things that go.
#22 on the USA Today bestseller list, 13 years after the original novel came out. Thanks for loving Ronan Lynch for all these years, guys. www.usatoday.com/booklist
That is a horse which people should not mount if they want to do some galloping. (from my current read, JAKOB VON GUNTEN, by Robert Walser.)
Reading the UK edition of The Dream Thieves puts Athena in a sleepy mood (and allows me to show you that it's larger than its American cousin, with swaggy green binding)
New York, Cincinnati, Fort Collins, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego—
This is the UK edition I'm also giving away (uncertainly sized dog and stuffed animal for scale)
While I was in Nashville, my friends literally dragged me to get my photos taken by Jeremy Cowart, telling me he was both fast and amazing (seriously, his schtick is in and out in 10 min). Ok, they were right. Here's a few of my faves. (And if you are in Nashville, I suggest you invest 10 min too).
Spending a few days signing & personalizing pre-orders of these bad boys (The Dream Thieves graphic novel) at Parnassus. The personalization cut off has passed, but if you still want to order and get a character button pack, you can do that for a few more days! parnassusbooks.net/list/pre-ord...
Something about me always prompts photographers to ask me to put on my sunglasses indoors. In this case, it made sense, the glow from all the books was overwhelming. (photo by Jeff Mamula)
I’m delighted to announce that, in addition to my tour for the graphic novel, I have two interesting events for THE LISTENERS. One is at the Blackfriars Playhouse (the only indoor recreation of Shakespeare’s theater), & the other at the Homestead, one of the actual hotels that housed Axis diplomats—
not sure why my dogs look like they are advertising their buddy comedy here
Over on my Substack, I tell you why I don’t want you to ask me about character questionnaires EVER AGAIN maggiestiefvater.substack.com/p/three-teac...
Over on the Substack, I have clarified some tour & swag details I was Horribly Confused about. Also, blathered a little. Most important thing you guys need to know is THE DEADLINE TO ORDER PERSONALIZED COPIES FROM @parnassusbooks.bsky.social IS JULY 14. maggiestiefvater.substack.com/p/tour-stuff...
Over on the blog, I talk about the tools I use to learn writing from other folks' books (and also how I'm a bad psychic): open.substack.com/pub/maggiest...

London! Poland! This morning, I left the Knife Incident parked at an airport and flew over the Atlantic to see you. My London event is sold out, but there will be opportunities for signed books. And Pyrkon is still waiting with wide open arms. (Man, I hope this car starts when I get back)
