It’s so pretty!

We got Maruca and Marella on a cover, I could cry. I’m so curious as to what this scene is.

things shannon told me at the legacy tour stop

"i’ve planned to kill sandor in every single book since he's been introduced”

“keefe will wake up”

“silveny was almost biana’s pet”

“i always wonder if this is the year they'll start bringing rotten fruits and vegetables to throw at me” "i promise the last book will not end on a cliffhanger. if i did that, i'd have to change my name and flee to mexico" "i haven't started writing book 9 yet" "legacy was such a labour of love..." "while writing my books i’m always like, ‘'i’m gonna do all the things!’ and by the end it’s ‘i did a fourth of the things...’" "i feel like i'm cultivating an army of little Shannons." (for writers) "don’t rush and overlook how amazing the writing stage is. this is the space where it's just you and your story. publishing will always be there.” "get to know your side characters if you get stuck." "sophie was originally 8 years old." (sarcastically, after getting asked if she made her characters based from real people) "oh yes, i totally based keefe and fitz off of real people. they're here, they're backstage, and they're single!" (more writing advice) "the way to flesh out a character is to ask 'what is this character hiding from me?' and once i know that, i own them. i know how to hurt them. they come alive once i know their secrets." "there are characters who have secrets that have not come into the series yet." "as the books are getting thicker we’re getting into murder weapon territory. be careful where you throw them. if your friends are nearby while you are reading, make sure they have helmets." "my favourite scene is the e. l. fudges and the countdown scene. i was cracking myself up as i wrote the elf cookies scene. i was like, ‘if i’m having this reaction, imagine keefe!" "i did not plan for the series to have a love triangle. i hate love triangles." "i live in fear of the day i have to solve the triangle" "i feel like the keefe fans are naturally louder...” "maybe sophie won't choose someone by the end of the series and will just be like, 'i’m sick of you all'." "book 9 will focus on the cliffhanger and other unanswered questions from legacy." "my favourite iggy colour is the purple poof" "we can lie with our thoughts, but we can’t lie with our feelings" "iggy was originally described in the first drafts as a tiny kangaroo" "for a brief amount of time, sophie's name was alexandra foster." "silveny was originally introduced in keeper, and not exile. she was biana’s pet, and would have been used as more amo for the sophie/biana feud i had going in keeper. y’know, because silveny would have liked sophie more because of the special way they could communicate, and biana would get jealous...” "the first draft of keeper was rejected at least 17 times. i say at least 17 because once i reached that number, i stopped counting." "keeper was mostly rejected because people said they were 'not sure a girl hero could compete against the boy heroes.' thank you for proving them wrong!” "my job as an author is to put sophie's life in danger." "i did not want to give sophie five bodyguards. that's just 5 more headaches i have to deal with. i won’t promise that there won’t be a bodyguard bloodbath anytime soon. i might need to get rid of a few.”

“oh, it’s you! i remember you from last year! you made me that beautiful art.”
