I am not a fantasy reader, but I absolutely loved The Paper Magician series! I really loved so many things about the plot and characters (particularly because I am very much a hopeless romantic!). I have two questions for you: 1. Which kind of magician would you be? 2. Are you at all similar to Ceony or she purely imaginative? I would love to hear more of this story! Thank you for your hard work!

First, I love your profile picture.
Second, thank you SO much, and I'm thrilled I was able to hook a non-fantasy reader!
As for which magician I would be... I'm stuck between two. Sometimes I want to be a Folder because that's awesome. Other times I would love to be a Pyre because hello, I could throw fire. That would be boss. EVERYONE WOULD FEAR ME. ;)
As for Ceony, I've been told we have many similarities. ;) I think I have a habit of writing introverted protagonists, and with The Paper Magician I wanted to do the opposite. (In case you're wondering, yes, I'm extroverted.) So there are some unintentional similarities. She's a lot braver and far more reckless than I am, though!

Not really a question, so I'm cheating, but hey. I just inhaled the Paper Magician trilogy. Nothing has gripped me like it since Harry Potter. I adore the characters and the universe. I would absolutely love more books in that universe. And I would love to know what that gender act does for Folding. Are you planning/hoping to write more stories in that world?

Hello! I am doing my first reading challenge this year and one of the topics is to read "a book recommended by an author you love." I have read many great books this year but you are my newest favorite author so I was hoping for a book recommendation from you. If you wouldn't mind?

I honestly cannot express how much I enjoyed The Paper Magician Trilogy!!! I do wish there were more books in this series though. I would love to see the outcome of Mg Aviosky's decision on Ceony's secret, Ceony's influence on Tagis Praff and Folding, possible future adventures with Emery Thane or all of the above in many many more books! Please tell me there are more books in the making?
