Glowing Reviews for Thieves of Weirdwood

First, there’s Booklist, who continues to pay me way too much respect:

And then there’s this review from DaddyMojo, which is honestly one of the nicest things I’ve ever read about my work and sets my heart to rest knowing that someone out there really gets it:

And finally, this from the New York Times:

If anyone needs me, I’ll be blushing in the corner.

Announcing THIEVES OF WEIRDWOOD (out in less than a month!)

The world is a little scary right now. But if we're all going to be spending more time in our homes, it might be nice to have a diverting adventure story to read. Fortunately, I have just the thing.

It’s out April 7th.

As you can see, Eion Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame) called it “Startling, original, and epic,” which is more than I have ever hoped to be in my boldest days. And Kirkus said, “The series opener’s both funny and well paced [sic] . . . the world-building is fantastic . . . and the character development is splendid.”

I can only hope you agree.

I talked to my new and always wonderfully surprising friend, Betsy Bird, about how the book came to be here: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/03/10/in-which-the-proprietor-of-this-blog-allows-one-christian-mckay-heidicker-to-speak-his-piece/

Finally, apologies for the late announcement. My name wasn't on the book until after Foxes received the Newbery Honor, and I was going to sit out the whole promotional biz this time around. But honestly, it feels good to talk about this one.

Until April 7th . . .
