Last night we hosted an incredible chat between two really exciting authors working in historical fantasy: Naomi Novik and Scott Westerfeld. Naomi is the author of the Temeraire series, which is terribly cool. Scott Westerfeld is the author of the New York Times Bestselling book Leviathan and the bestselling Uglies series.

When we brought them together they talked about everything from fanfic to dragons to their favorite writers and even dropped a few hints at what we’ll be seeing from them in the future! To say it was an hour packed full of great chat would be an understatement. But we here at Suvudu don’t want to hog all that fun for ourselves.

Tonight, Monday, November 16 at 7:00pm EST, join us on Suvudu for a chat with authors Naomi Novik and Scott Westerfeld!

1. Tithe by Holly Black

Instead of vampires, we’ve got faeries in Holly Black’s Tithe, a gripping tale of sixteen-year-old Kaye, whose journey into the fey world begins when she rescues knight Roiben. As she explores the Seelie and Unseelie faerie courts, she finds out more than she ever bargained for. I know, I know, there will be cliffhangers galore in this post. Don’t want to ruin any of the fun for you guys.

Tithe also has a sequel, Ironside. For more info, check out Holly Black’s website.
