Hi readergirlz,
A few highlights from Holly’s and Cassandra’s Q&A:
Advice for aspiring authors: Read outside your comfort zone; read a lot of nonfiction, because you’ll use it; write a lot; and find a critique partner who’ll tell you when your stuff is crazy.
For Shadow Hunter fans: Cassandra has a new trilogy in the works!
Cassandra’s favorite part of being an author is getting to talk about her characters with people who know all their quirks and foibles, just like she does.
It was amazing to see these two ladies in action -- they're warm and totally down-to-earth, with wicked senses of humor. Don't miss them if they hit your town on the tour.
See you soon, girlz! --Stephanie

I don't think I've posted this before, but here's Gollancz's cover for RED GLOVE. I love it!

I have spent the week in one of the most beautiful towns of Devon in a house full of amazing things while ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
ellenkushner, Terri and I work on the Bordertown anthology we're editing and while I fixed lots of Red Glove. It's been an amazing, inspiring week. I even walked through a magical wood and met some wild ponies. Pictures forthcoming.
However. I just declared I was going to post fanart every week, so I better do it.
I am posting this particular picture because I was thinking a lot about how I love group shots of characters just hanging out. In college, I had this poster of the Endless (from Sandman) up on my wall until it became totally tattered:
I loved seeing all those characters together in a casual moment not in the comic.
And for that reason, I loved this picture of all the main Modern Faerie Tale characters by blackkitsune93:
There is something about seeing everyone hanging out that makes me wonder what they say to one another--especially people like Ravus and Corny, who never have any scenes together that I recall. How would they get along? What in the world would they have in common? Plus I love the energy the artist brought to each of the characters. It just makes me happy.
Next week, I am going to scan a White Cat picture I received while on tour.
