It’s Friday!
I have just posted my regular once-a-month-post on the Supernatural Underground blog celebrating “offical release day” for The Heir of Night (as opposed to On Sale day, which was the 28th—when we all partied!). From Worldcon to earthquake to the release of Heir into the wild, it’s been a ride!
As part of the celebrations, Eos have put up a 3-book set for giveaway: The Heir of Night (of course!) together with Robin Hobb’s Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven duology. 3 sets in fact—but only for USA and Canadian residents, I’m afraid.
For international posters I am putting up a The Heir of Night / Thornspell set as well, plus for everyone, up to 20 signed bookplates (1 per person), designed by Peter Fitzpatrick who also designed the Heir map–which will debut officially on Out of this Eos around October 6.
But you have to go to the Supernatural Underground, to be in the running.
The other thing that’s happened today is that the News and The Wall of Night pages on my website have updated—click on the links to check it all out.
I love maps and I’m so curious about the Heir map! *_*
Giada, I love maps, too, and I do not think you will be disappointed with this one!
I have cover love for your book. Congrats on the release and enjoy the ride!!
Melissa, the cover is awesome, isn’t it? And thank you for the congrats.
Saw your post on Supernatural Underground. I just commented on it. Congrats on the release!

Rachel–thanks for dropping by and for posting. 🙂
Slowly getting through Heir, in between writing a crisis communication plan and catching up on reviews!
Loving it – Malian is so strong! I also really like how a lot of the warriors are women – no gender bias here!
Hi Jan–so glad that you are enjoying Heir so far. And yes, given it is an “open secret” now that the Derai are alien to the world of Haarth, of course the ‘human’ rules of relative male/female physical strength etc need not apply … But one aspect of the story that is important to me is that although there are many characters who are powerful, there are others, such as Korriya, who are strong in themselves … and ok, a second aspect: that there are many strong women, but also men, ie just because the women are strong does not make the men weak.
