now you see her...
Bestselling author of historical fiction including THE ARCTIC FURY and the Five Queendoms epic fantasy series (SCORPICA, ARCA).
THE MAGICIAN'S LIE is out in paperback today! And not only can you get it at fine independent bookstores, B&N and online, but it's the Target Book Club Pick for October! I'm going to drive around eastern Iowa signing books at Target stores to celebrate.
Coincidentally, McDonald's starts serving breakfast all day TODAY. Coincidence? I don't know, but if I get hungry between Targets, I'm stopping for a sausage biscuit.
Happy paperbacking!
Incredible news! THE MAGICIAN'S LIE has hit the bestseller lists! As of October 1, my little book is a USA Today bestseller. (No, I don't get my own pie chart out of it. Wouldn't that be great?)
Definitely popping the champagne! Hooray!
And here's a piece on Radio Iowa about it, along with a list of the five cities in Iowa I'm hitting on my tour, which starts on Monday, October 5. Prepare yourselves, Hawkeyes, here I come!
Just updated the Events page with a lot of bookstore and festival appearances in September, October and November! Looking forward to meeting more readers as we launch the paperback of THE MAGICIAN'S LIE.
And if I'm not coming to your town in person, don't forget, I'd be happy to visit your book club via Skype. Just reach out to me via the Contact page. Cheers!
I've been hunkered down at home working on the next book, but things will be different in May -- I'm out and about again! Check out the Events page for what's going on.
Yes, the 13th of the month has taken on a new significance for me -- it's the book birthday of THE MAGICIAN'S LIE. In this case, the book's been out on shelves for two months. And it's been a delightful, amazing, unbelievable ride.
I'm here on the blog from time to time, but if you want to connect with me more regularly, social media is the way to go: here's where to find me on Twitter or Facebook.
Snowed under and shivering? (Aren't we all?) SheKnows suggests you snuggle up with a good book -- and they put THE MAGICIAN'S LIE in that category. Wonderful!
See the full list of 10 books -- including Gayle Forman, Anne Tyler, Amanda Eyre Ward and more -- at this link.
Well, here's a place I never expected to see THE MAGICIAN'S LIE -- as one of the answers to a Buzzfeed quiz! I tell you, this publication ride is a strange and amazing roller coaster, every single day.
Oh wow! This one has me dancing around the kitchen. The Washington Post calls THE MAGICIAN'S LIE "spellbinding" and "atmospheric." And they mention Agatha Christie! Never a bad thing. Off to add it to the Praise page, wheeee!
Just got word that The Magician's Lie is the Pick of the Week in the Boston Globe. So it must be perfect to snuggle up with as the coming snowpocalypse approaches, right? Seriously, everyone stay safe in this heavy winter weather. Brrrrr.
At this moment my luncheon event in Connecticut is still on for Wednesday midday, but I'll update the Events page if that situation changes. Stock up on books and charge all your devices! See you on the other side of the melt!
Back home now and get to stay here for, say, roughly 42 hours before I'm on the road again! But I got a nice dose of Friday cheer with an unexpected appearance in the Chapter & Verse feature at The Christian Science Monitor. They quote some of the book's great reviews, like the starred one from Publishers Weekly as well as the Indie Next honor and Library Journal. And I really like the part where they say "And for its next trick, the novel “The Magician’s Lie” by Greer Macallister just might become a hit." Here's hoping!
Great reviews, great reviews, great reviews, and also Kirkus.
