We are thrilled to announce the amazing Maggie Stiefvater as our opening keynote speaker for 2013! We have been big fans for many years, and we are so excited to have her attend and inspire new and faithful fans.
What are your top 3 books of all time?
Dogsbody, by Diana Wynne Jones
Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I say that right now, but if you ask me in five minutes, those will have changed. I am a different reader every morning.
If you had to choose one of your characters to be stuck on an island with you, who would you choose and why?
Corr, the tamest of the water horses from The Scorpio Races. Because he swims. And then we would no longer be stuck on an island.
If you attended Aglionby, who would you be friends with?
I’m friends with both a Ronan and an Adam in real life, so I reckon it would be the same if I actually went to Aglionby. Of course, in that scenario, we would all be boys and have great hair.
When you think about Texas, what immediately comes to mind?
The absolute amazing that is Austin. Austinites are my people.

Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after…
Be sure to join us September 28th at the Austin Convention Center. Maggie will be signing her books along with many other authors we can’t wait to announce. Stay tuned for more exciting news May 3rd!
