“Do you need to rest?” I asked. Alessandro paused midway up the stairs and pivoted to me, [Redacted] draped over his shoulders and back in classic fireman’s carry. “Why?” Because you are carrying a two-hundred-pound man up a narrow winding stairway consisting of seventy-five steps? “I thought you might want to take a short break.”

New Art from Luisa Preissler
I always wanted a painted family portrait. For sheer coolness of it. I am pretty sure Baylor sisters wanted one too, so we asked Luisa Preissler to paint one and here it is. It is absolutely amazing. Isn’t that just gorgeous? So thrilled with this, I can’t even tell you. And she put in so

On Primes and Prime Genetics
If Primes have more than one child, would that dilute their power? Lisa I am not quite sure what you’re asking here. Let me try to explain genetics and talent. This will be super simplified and not entirely accurate, but for the demonstration purposes, it should work. Let’s say I am a Prime. I have

Hidden Legacy Covers: The Unexpected Edition
Nevada’s trilogy was published in Israel with these beautiful covers. Readers loved the covers, but of course, someone will always complain about something. In one of the Facebook discussions, a reader suggested that the covers should be in Aramaic, like religious texts, and that way everyone would be happy. It’s a hilariously absurd suggestion. In

Happy Holidays and a Little Snippet
We are preparing for the holidays at Casa Andrews and we will be a bit scarce over the holidays. Here is a small snippet of RUBY FEVER. “Is it haunted?” Oh, for the love of… “No, Arabella.” My sister squinted at the monstrosity of a house growing closer as the SUV sped up the gently

Discrimination via Sexy Dudes
I’ve received a very upset email from a fan – abusing the technical issue form again – that’s accusing us of, and I quote, “discriminate against blog fans” by posting exclusive content to Instagram. This person states that they have been a fan for years, they do not want to change the platform, and they

The Cool Aunt
Today is the day everyone gets access to The Cool Aunt, a very short bonus story of Connor and Nevada’s baby being born. The honor system didn’t work very well, so the next time we will likely do a password wall. But there were over 1,000 printed copies sold, so you guys really helped the

Happy Book Birthday
The EMERALD BLAZE is out today. We hope you’re enjoying the read. I’m going to be scarce this week, both because we have to make words happen and because all of the energy right now is going into the appearances. Boy, it’s hard on Zoom. Normally we can read the room a little bit, but

Starred Kirkus Review of Emerald Blaze
I am in a rare form this morning. I used common instead of come on in a professional email. And then, after Pam Jaffee, our Harper Collins publicist, emailed this review, I accidentally replied Dear Pam to a reader instead of using her full name and had to apologize. It will be this kind of

From Erika Tsang: “Wanted to warn you that the galley of EB will/should be dropping to NetGalley today.” I will just leave that here. For those of you who are members of the Facebook fan group, I will ask the moderators to make a spoiler thread. Update: yes, it is on wish status. That’s because
