I’m sorry; I’m terrible at keeping this up. I had another daughter in May, and I find pregnancy to be an enormous brain-drain. We have, until recently, had two kids under two years old. During a pandemic. YIKES.
BUT! The Bone Shard War will be coming out in six months, on April 18, 2023. It’s up for preorder at all your major outlets and at most indie bookstores as well! I’m hoping I’ll be able to share the cover soon.
I am very proud of this series and the conclusion to it. When people ask me what my strengths are as a writer, I can definitively say that I am good at endings. I am so excited to share it with you all! ALSO—the kids will be older, so I’m planning on traveling this spring and summer. So keep an eye on “Events” if you want to say “hi”, grab some book swag, and get your books signed! I’m still figuring out what my schedule should be and where I’ll be going.
In other news, I’ve signed with Orbit for a new series!
The Bookseller article, titled “Orbit bags epic fantasy series by Stewart in ‘significant’ six-figure deal”
I am really looking forward to sharing this new world, shattered into realms by an ancient disaster, a place where magic suffuses the air in layers beneath everyone’s feet. Where sinkholes open up at a moment’s notice and just as quickly collapse. And of course, new characters…
Two sisters torn apart by heartbreaking circumstances, a chameleon of a politician who puts familial duty above her own needs, an intrepid scholar-explorer who gets the gang together for one last mission, and a huge grump of a winged man with an inexplicable fondness for cats.
I hope all of you who have been enjoying The Drowning Empire trilogy will join me for this new adventure! So grateful to my readers and the wonderful folks at Orbit!!
