Tessa Gratton Newsletter #33: BLOOD & FURY DAY!

TODAY IS THE DAY!
The sequel and finale to Chaos & Flame is out. If you enjoyed the first book and are eager to find out what happens after that appalling cliffhanger of an ending, or if you haven’t even started because you’re waiting to read until the series is finished…the wait is over. Darling, Talon, and Caspian are back, and the first two are trying their best to fix the chaos the latter unleashed, all while dealing with giant monsters, heartbreak, and upending generations of tradition and trauma in order to stop a devastating war and find their way back to each other.
If you’re in the Lawrence/Kansas City area, join Justina and I tonight at the Raven Bookstore in downtown Lawrence. We’ll be chatting all things Blood & Fury, how we work together, writing the sequel at the same time we were writing Defy the Storm, and maybe we’ll tell you which one of the four books we’ve written together since the start of the pandemic almost ruined our 9 year friendship!!!
Just kidding, that didn’t happen, writing books is easy!

In a shocking turn of events, I have comic book news!!!! This June, for one of the Star Wars Pride variant covers, a character I created will be highlighted with his (not so) secret husband!

My favorite thing about this art is how smug Xylan looks, meanwhile Cair seems worried something is on fire behind them and it’s his husband’s fault.
Speaking of Star Wars, don’t forget my next book in The High Republic comes out…in exactly one month. Temptation of the Force drops on June 11th.
After that I don’t have any novels releasing until at least this time next year, which to be honest is great news for me, personally.
Short one from me today, but I hope to see some of you at The Raven tonight.
Thanks for reading!
Tessa
