[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Today is the big day--Thick As Thieves is released in paperback!

You're also in for a real treat here at sounis. Courtesy of HarperCollins, we give you an exclusive video of Megan Whalen Turner answering fan questions! Anna, of EpicReads, asks all the things we want to know, questions like How did you write a character like Attolia? and When did you know that snake Nahuseresh was already married?

BTW, Anna is also Shoe Girl, who decoupaged a lovely pair of pumps with sentences from a beloved copy of QoA.

A huge thanks to HarperCollins for providing us with the maps for the giveaway and an exclusive on this video!

I was looking at HarperCollins website and came across these fantastic blurbs from some of my other favorite authors: Laini Taylor, Leigh Bardugo, and Joelle Charbonneau.

“The Queen’s Thief books awe and inspire me. They have the feel of a secret, discovered history of real but forgotten lands. The plot-craft is peerless, the revelations stunning, and the characters flawed, cunning, heartbreaking, exceptional. Megan Whalen Turner’s books have a permanent spot on my favorites shelf, with space waiting for more books to come.”—Laini Taylor, New York Times-bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone novels and Strange the Dreamer

"Unforgettable characters, plot twists that will make your head spin, a world rendered in elegant detail—you will fall in love with every page of these stories. Megan Whalen Turner writes vivid, immersive, heartbreaking fantasy that will leave you desperate to return to Attolia again and again."—Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom

"Megan Whalen Turner has constructed a clever world filled with suspense and intrigue and characters that will never be forgotten. Once you dive into the world of the Queen's Thief, prepare to have your life stolen from you until you finish them all." —Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times-bestselling author of the Testing trilogy

And the Winner is!

A big thank you to all who participated in the Thick as Thieves map giveaway. We received many, many entries, and all your predictions were various combinations of insightful, heartbreaking, and hilarious. Make sure you read them all if you haven't already. When the time comes, we may find out that some of these are right!

In the meantime, the Thick as Thieves paperback is now available in stores and online. Go HERE for ordering options.

I entered everyone's names into random.org and let the gods choose from there, and please, remember to thank Harper Collins for allowing us to host this contest.

I feel a little like Effie during the Hunger Games right now...

EDIT: If heard back from all the winners, and have sent along your information to Harper Collins. Thanks for getting back to me so promptly and for all your notes of gratitude. I really appreciate it!

Severally of you asked if there was a way to thank Harper Collins more directly, and I was going to recommend that you could thank them via Tumblr by tagging the Epic Reads blog. Once you have the map all set up and displayed, you could also share a photo. Epic Reads may find that beneficial for promotion of the paperback. I'd also recommend tagging MWT's Tumblr. Feel free to share a photo here on sounis as well. I'm sure we'd all love to see the maps!

( Be Blessed in Your Endeavors )

You'll all be receiving further instructions as replies to your original comments. Congrats to all ten winners!

Who had the best predictions?
