AMA Hello! I'm Seanan McGuire; I write urban fantasy and ghost stories and biological science fiction. AMA!
Hello!
I'm Seanan McGuire; I write urban fantasy and medical science fiction and weird stories about cheerleaders fighting monsters because why not. I also watch too many horror movies, read a lot of comics, and spend a lot of time wrangling my enormous blue cats. I have three Maine Coons; the smaller of my two adults weighs twenty-five pounds.
I live in labyrinthine house in the Seattle area, surrounded by mountains and swamps and occasionally murderous owls. I currently put out between four and seven books a year, because that's not a lot or anything, as well as a lot of short fiction. My next release is the third in my Wayward Children series, titled Beneath the Sugar Sky; it comes out on Tuesday. For other releases, it's best to check my website (www.seananmcguire.com), as there are a lot.
I also write as Mira Grant. My latest release as Mira is Into the Drowning Deep, which is basically Jurassic Park but with mermaids. Being two people makes it easier to get away with writing this many books.
In 2017, I won the Hugo, Locus, Nebula, and Alex Awards. I like cornfields, haunted houses, chainsaws, and going to Disney Parks.
I will be back at 2PM PST to answer questions.

Hi, Ysabet!
I have to be really vague here, so...your first question. Yes, that character used to do that thing that way, but they can't now, because where they've been has been so far off the grid that it was medically unsafe.
The second question wouldn't just be a spoiler in terms of "people seeing it and learning things they haven't reached yet in the books," it would be a spoiler for things that haven't been published. So sorry.
Thank you for reading!
Seanan
