now you see her...
Bestselling author of historical fiction and the Five Queendoms epic fantasy series (SCORPICA, ARCA, SESTIA).
So, are you big on delayed gratification? (You should think about going into publishing!)
My next novel, GIRL IN DISGUISE, is coming out in March 2017. Yes, that's reeeeeeally far away. But just in case you might have some other things on your mind between now and then, you might want to add it to your Goodreads shelf! Then you'll get an email when it (finally) comes out.
No cover reveal yet, but it's coming...
Nearly fainting of excitement here at Macallister HQ. Not only has The Magician's Lie been optioned for film (incredible!), it's in the hands of the amazing Jessica Chastain, who has launched her own production company, Freckle Films, widely expected to put more women both in front of and behind the camera. Can't express how honored I am to have my book become part of that venture.
Here's one of the many articles on Freckle Films. My Google Alerts went kind of nuts over this.
(The other book optioned, Life and Other Near-Death Experiences by Camille Pagan, was one of my favorite reads last year. Chastain's got fabulous taste!)
Did you write an online review of THE MAGICIAN'S LIE?
Is it sometime before Valentine's Day at midnight?

YAY! It's officially official!
My next book, GIRL IN DISGUISE, about the first female private detective in the US, is coming out from Sourcebooks next year. Here's the Publishers Marketplace announcement:
Now that we're into 2016, most of the end-of-year lists have come out already -- so I was very pleasantly surprised to see THE MAGICIAN'S LIE pop up on a Library Journal list of Favorite 2015 Debuts.
They called the book "lyrical and mesmerizing" and suggested that "readers will root for Arden, even as they are unsure of whether to trust her." (Author's note: good, that's what I was going for!)

Unrelated: I finally figured out how to add photos to the blog. Look, Arden's in Target!
We've had some stock hiccups during the first week of The Magician's Lie paperback availability -- booo! The good news is, they're all being fixed, so you should soon be able to order your copy of TML in paperback via Amazon and Target.
The even better news is, you can order it right now from Powell's and it'll be on its way to you in a day or two.
Also, some of the stock issues are caused by the fact that lots of people are buying the book, and believe me, that's never bad!
And buying in person at your local independent bookstore, Target, or Barnes & Noble is never a bad idea either.
Thanks for your patience! Just want to make sure readers can get their hands on this book in whatever way at whatever speed -- if you want a book, you should have it! Enjoy.
