Katherine Arden:
Just wanted to thank you for your books--a young woman who refuses to be what everyone tells her she must be--a timely and treasured message, learned the hard way for myself (I'm in my 50s), and a lesson I have gifted to my own daughter. Thank you, for telling this story so brilliantly and beautifully. I am grateful! Will you continue to write after this trilogy is complete?
Katherine Arden
You are welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed my books and very glad that you shared them with your daughter. It is literally my favorite thing to hear from a reader. To answer your question: yes, I will continue to write. I have two books due out this year and many ideas. I hope to keep writing for a long time!

I just finished The Bear and the Nightingale and enjoyed it very much. It is interesting to find that you are a fan of Robin McKinley because I just compared your writing style to hers when recommending your book to a friend. Do you feel that Robin McKinley influenced your writing style? I am excited to start The Girl in the Tower very soon!

Hello Katherine :) I loved The bear and the nightingale so much! It has been a joy to read and a huge inspiration. I am currently in the beginning of writing my first novel (in norwegian), and I have a question regarding which POV you are using. Is it 3rd person omniscient or multiple? When I google it people answer differently. Its confusing for a newbie writer, but I really like your style.
