Maggie Stiefvater Interview


Maggie Stiefvater is so nice! We had a lot of fun on this interview and asked Maggie the questions you're dying to know the answers to. Go ahead and give it a listen. To access the show, click here.


Stiefvater (b. November 18,1981) is the author of many young adult and fantasy novels. She attended Mary Washington College, graduating with a B.A. in history. After graduating, she worked as a portrait artist, specializing in equestrian art; her art was collected internationally. She is married with two children.


In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past... and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabel, who already lost her brother to the wolves... and is nonetheless drawn to Cole. At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love - the light and the dark, the warm and the cold - in a way you will never forget.

Oh wow, I hadn't seen the trailer yet.

You really have to watch this. It's the trailer to Linger.

Maggie Stiefvater Interview coming up! Sunday July 25th 2010 1PM PST


So, I know you're all already excited for our first young adult (YA) author, Maggie Stiefvater. We are interviewing her for her new book Linger, the sequel to Shiver, the book before Forever. I like that there are two books before Forever. Tres poetic, no? These are werewolf books, but they are different from any I've ever read, and I think werewolves are fascinating. Like zombies only more romantic, like vampires only more animal. Anyway, in order to get you even more excited for this very exciting interview, I am linking her blog to this blog. Now you can get to know her before the show. She's an active blogger, and has some interesting things to say, so check it out.
