‘In the world of the first book of the series, in the royal court, in the smokin’ hot bod of the villainess about to be put to death.’… LONG LIVE EVIL described to my great delight!

Aaaagh, how horrible to have an extra terribleness heaped on a pile of sorrow.

Honoured Kirkus gave LONG LIVE EVIL a STARRED review, calling it an adventure of tremendous wonder, laugh-out-loud, & heartbreaking. LONG LIVE is funny & weird, & I want people to take it seriously & have a GREAT time. This means so much.

‘in our heads we can be the people we want to be with the characters we love, we can erase the things we struggle with, and so it's easier to believe we have the value to be loved by them in return’ - I just think this is beautiful and true!

In LONG LIVE EVIL Rae walks into her favourite series & meets her favourite character. I wanted to ask: What does it mean to love a fictional character? What would they think of us? We love characters differently than people. How real is it? Real enough? parnassusbooks.net/longliveevil

My darlings, the American date for LONG LIVE EVIL has moved from August 1 to August 27. (The UK date remains unchanged.) I know it sucks to wait, but I will make it up to you. There is a really good reason for the change! Which… I can’t tell you. Yet… 😈

I had to show you guys this art side by side so you can see the TRANSFORMATION achieved! I wanted a Before & After for LONG LIVE EVIL because… we can change the story just by being in it. And have a lot of fun along the way. UK preorder: store.orbit-books.co.uk/products/lon...

What a time. Mind you, I thought for years there was no season 4 of Sherlock and everyone was just doing jokes. A wild ride.

I love that! Humour is often a harder sell, I theorise because it’s more subjective - we agree on what’s sad more than what’s funny. And thus double congratulations.

What if you met your favourite character… before the character development? Rae’s problematic fave is tortured antihero the Emperor, of the epic fantasy Time of Iron. Octavian, 8th King in Waiting, is alarmed to hear about his upcoming tragic backstory… geni.us/longliveevil
