![]() I am a big history buff, so I spent a lot of time reading about not only New Orleans in 1872, but the world around it, which has such a strong influence on the way people thought and dressed and acted. ![]() What kind of research went into recreating the New Orleans of 1872 for this novel? In The Beautiful and its sequel The Damned, I’ve had such a wonderful time exploring the myths and legends of the occult: witches, vampires, werewolves, and fae.

I know I'm taking a risk by even acknowledging its existence and my familiarity with its contents.

The underground man says that he would hate to live in the crystal palace, because he wouldn’t be able to stick out his tongue rudely there. This same symbolic building shows up in part one of Notes from Underground, where the underground man vehemently disagrees with Chernyshevsky, championing the importance of irrationality and free will against the logic and laws of nature. ![]() He thought that if people could be taught well enough, they would naturally desire what is best for them, and society could continually improve until we reached a utopian existence symbolized by the image of a crystal palace-a perfect building where everyone lived in harmony. Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground is, at least partially, a response to Nikolay Chernyshevsky’s novel What is to Be Done? In this book, Chernyshevsky espoused an optimistic confidence in human rationality. ![]() ![]() ![]() White, petite, and princess-pretty Alice is a difficult heroine to like in her stormy (and frequently profane) narration, larded with pop-culture and children’s-literature references and sprinkled with wry humor her deceptive fragility conceals a scary toughness, icy hostility, and simmering rage. The Hinterland-and the Stories that animate it-appear as simultaneously wondrous and horrific, dreamlike and bloody, lyrical and creepy, exquisitely haunting and casually, brutally cruel. Now Althea is dead and Ella has been kidnapped, and the Hinterland seems determined to claim Alice as well. Instead, she has spent her entire 17 years on the run from persistent bad luck, relying only on her mother, Ella. Once upon a time, Althea Proserpine achieved a cult celebrity with Tales from the Hinterland, a slim volume of dark, feminist fairy tales, but Alice has never met her reclusive grandmother nor visited her eponymous estate. ![]() ![]() A ferocious young woman is drawn into her grandmother’s sinister fairy-tale realm in this pitch-black fantasy debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Two people brought together by the trappings of duty and politics will discover they are destined for each other, even as the powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.

Resigned to her fate, she is horrified to learn that her intended groom isn’t just a foreign aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither familiar nor human. Ildiko, niece of the Gauri king, has always known her only worth to the royal family lay in a strategic marriage. Always a dutiful son, Brishen agrees to the marriage and discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined. A trade and political alliance between the human kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty. Brishen Khaskem, prince of the Kai, has lived content as the nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times over. ![]() ![]() ![]() Damiata suspects that the killer she seeks is one of the brutal condottierri, and as the murders multiply, her quest grows more urgent. Once there, Damiata becomes a pawn in the political intrigues of the pope’s surviving son, the charismatic Duke Valentino, whose own life is threatened by the condottieri, a powerful cabal of mercenary warlords. When Pope Alexander dispatches a Vatican courtesan, Damiata, to the remote fortress city of Imola to learn the truth behind the murder of Juan, his most beloved illegitimate son, she cannot fail, for the scheming Borgia pope holds her own young son hostage.
