I've never had a cavity.
 
For a brief time, I was my high school's mascot. I dressed as a horse—a horse with a bow on its head if you must know. 

I used to sing in a band called Captain Automatic, but we all got old and busy.  
 
I've had a lot of jobs (beer girl, advertising imp, makeup artist, writer of movie trailers—"In a world without justice" and so on). But now I have my dream job and I get to write books. It is the best of all possible jobs.
 
SHADOW AND BONE and SIEGE AND STORM are the first two books in the Grisha Trilogy, and they're both New York Times Best Sellers. If you like them, and you hate to wait, the third book, RUIN AND RISING, comes out on June 17, 2014. I've also written some dark Ravkan folk tales that you can read for free on Tor.com.
 
Trying to name my favorite books makes me insane so I'll just bleat a few names—Neil Gaiman! Stephen King! Diana Wynne Jones! Glen David Gold! George R.R. Martin! Louise Erdrich! Holly Black!
 
My fandoms are many and I will gladly chat for hours on all things Hannibal, Elementary, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, Orphan Black, or Chopped (can't a cooking show have a fandom?). But if you follow me on Tumblr or twitter, you know my heart belongs to A Song of Ice and Fire. House Baratheon, bub.
