GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Kell wore a very peculiar coat.”
It’s hard to believe that 10 years ago I wrote the opening words of A Darker Shade of Magic. Even harder to believe that in just 2 MONTHS, the doors to all four Londons will swing open again. My heart is starting to race with that old familiar medley of hope and fear. It’s the start of a new adventure, and yet in so many ways, it feels like coming home.
In celebration—anticipation?—it’s time for a GIVEAWAY.
THE PRIZE:
Two full signed set of Shades two preorders of ANY edition of Threads, for you AND a friend.
TO ENTER:
1. Follow this account.

This week on the Shades of Magic Readalong we continue A Conjuring of Light! In parts 4-7 it just goes from bad to worse for this crew of characters! Every day is a bad one for Holland, Kell is on his high horse (and totally needs to come back down), and Lila is exacerbated (but also shares her feelings!!!). There is even a creepy child. Join me on youtube. #veschwab #shadesofmagicseries #bookstagram

“Happy anniversary, my Adeline.”
It’s July 29th, the day Addie LaRue ran away from a wedding and into the woods, away from one life, and into another. The day that became dusk as she fell to her knees and prayed (by accident or by design) to the gods that answer after dark. The day she traded her soul for time, and ended up forgotten by everyone but him. The devil. The dark.
And every year after, he came to her. That night, a blessing and a curse. Because in the end, everyone wants to be remembered.

Sometimes we wear the coat. Sometimes we shed the coat.
Sometimes we *are* the coat.
Somehow it’s Friday again, and that means it’s time for another snippet from The Fragile Threads of Power.
60 days. Not that I’m keeping track…

In which paths collide, shit hits the fan, and I give away this marked-up copy of my book!
It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another snippet from The Fragile Threads of Power.
This week, I polled the audience, and you said you wanted to meet some new VILLAINS, so I’m thrilled to introduce you to two of my favorite new baddies, a pair of sell-swords named Bex and Calin who kill people for a living, but spend their spare time trying to kill each other.
Since most of the snippets of these two from Threads itself are full to the brim with spoilers, I’m giving you a glimpse of “A Friendly Game,” the short story about them that’s in the BN special edition.

I think a lot about fear.
I’ve always had this adversarial relationship with it. I had a fear of heights, so I went skydiving. I had a fear of needles, so I got tattoos. A fear of failing to write a novel is what first made me finish one.
Every day I sit down to write, and I’m afraid—afraid I’ll fail to do the story justice, afraid it won’t be good enough, afraid of so many things. But every day, when I sort through the fear, I find the want. The want to tell the story. The want to make it work. Sometimes it’s so big I don’t even see the fear. But most days, it is a quieter, tucked behind that loud and messy force.
There’s this misconception that we do things due to an *absence* of fear. I’ve always believed we do them in spite of it. Because our want is greater. Some days by miles. Most days by inches.
