Author Q&A
Happy 2021!
This year, I want to give back to you, my amazing supporters. Sadly, the pandemic has prevented me from going to book festivals and other events to see you in person. But I still want to chat with you and answer your questions.
So here's what I was thinking:
1. Reply to this email (or message me at evelynskyebooks@gmail.com any time) with your questions. They can be about my books or writing or publishing, such as:
who is my favorite character and why
were there scenes that got cut and never made it into the final books?
how cover art is chosen
what does a typical day look like for me,
why did I start a TikTok account and then delete it after one week, and
anything else you're curious about.
2. I'll include some of the Q&A in the next newsletters. We can keep doing this as long as you have questions to ask!
I hope your 2021 is off to a great start. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you!

January Obsession
I am madly in love with these cashmere fingerless gloves. I write with them on. I wear them when I walk the dog. I'm sad I can't wear them when I'm baking, haha...
(I don't get commissions from stuff I post here. They're just genuinely things I'm obsessed with and think maybe you'll like them, too!)
READER Q&A
Hey Evelyn,
I've just finished reading Circle of Shadows and Cloak of Night. Your books are amazing and I really enjoyed them, especially with Sora and Daemon.
I was wondering if there is going to be another book continuing it.

Great question, Lucas!
First off, I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed that duology.
I had a lot of fun writing it, including pretending I could actually fight like the taigas.
As for more books, there are currently no plans to add to the Circle of Shadows world... but you never know what will happen in the future!
