Happy Birthday, Anazakia!
Today is the Grand Duchess Anazakia Helisonovna Arkhangel’skova’s birthday. I’m not saying how old she is, because angels age differently and that’s her business. But if The Fallen Queen were made into a movie, here’s who I’d pick to play her: In honor of Anazakia’s birthday, check out my interview today on Supernatural Snark. And…

Look out for falling angels!
There were many times I thought this day would never come. (Frankly, I’m not quite sure it’s here; I think I’m writing this in my sleep.) The trilogy I thought was a single book when the idea first germinated in my head in late 2005 (and continued to mistakenly believe until early 2009 when I…

Saturday evening post: Rusalki
Last summer while working on rewrites for The House of Arkhangel’sk, I briefly veered off onto a storyline where Anazakia meets a rusalka before I realized it had nothing to do with the story.
