We had a great time at the Masked Halloween Chat, which was attended by Attolia, Eddis, Costis, Teleus, and Boagus. MWT came for a visit and a few tidbits were dropped that had me thinking, "hmm, I need to go back and look through RotT and MP, did I already know this??" So, take a look and see what you think. I wasn't able to copy the entire ( Read more... )

This community formed just before King of Attolia was published and has remained active pretty steadily over the years. With the publication of the last ( Read more... )

The author visit with MWT, Holly Black, and Marie Lu last night was great! There's a video of it on Old Firehouse Books' Facebook page, for those who couldn't make it.
