SPRING 2019 EDITION

 

"APRIL–JULY 1790

To be in England while winter gave way to spring, Marcus discovered, was to swing like a pendulum between opposing poles of misery and delight."


 Chapter 27, Time's Convert 


Are you ready?

Dear Reader:  We have more podcast recommendations for you--just click on the text in red below! 

As a new generation of readers discovers the All Souls Trilogy, I'm thrilled to announce that the audiobook for A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES is on the NYT Audio Bestseller List! Back in 2008 when the book was published they didn't have such a list, so this marks the audiobook's first appearance. Congratulations to Penguin Random House Audio and the fabulous Jennifer Ikeda. 
 
Q & A with Deb

Q: Has Season 2 of ADOW television been filmed? When will we be able to see it on tv?
A: Not  yet.  And, I don't know yet. (But we'll announce both when we can!)

Q:Any idea when casting announcements might happen? 
A: It will be months. Not until summer. 

Q: I'm trying to figure out how you will fit all of Shadow of Night into Season 2? I kind of hope they split the book up.
A: SHADOW OF NIGHT all fits into Season 2. 

Q: Can you give us any updates on how the scripts are coming along?
A: The writers room is bubbling with energy and excitement, with a team led by the wonderful Susie Conklin. I haven't seen any scripts (it's a bit early for that!) but I am anticipating they will be marvelous.
It's the tipping point between winter and spring. Wishing everyone a joyful Ostara and best wishes for this time of renewal and rebirth.

"The past cannot be cured.--Elizabeth 1" 
Our past may not be perfect, but it is ours to acknowledge, understand so that we can make a better tomorrow for all women, everywhere.  The present is ours. The future is ours. Let's make them count. International Women's Day, 2019. 

 


"As a character, and as a witch, Diana is complex and conflicted, intelligent and powerful. She is the witch we need in 2018. It’s no surprise that women are drawn to her, and revel in the idea of harnessing their own 'super' powers to achieve their true potential."


You can read the whole article here: https://www.redonline.co.uk/. Huge props to Teresa Palmer for bringing Diana to life in all her complexity!
