If you know of a different cover,feel free to add it.
Rad seeing these in one post.
the stream in which she read chapter 1 and 2 of what could someday be the shaw confessions. this is long af. like more than 6,000 words. There are bits missing and bits that don’t make sense because I wanted to stick to what she originally as much as possible. There are certain bits about mara and noah, but she mainly focuses on women’s rights and violence against women and how younger generations are influenced. Definitely worth a read :) -Lia
(i didn’t proof read sorry feel free to add and fix anything)
Tomorrow, I’ll be doing my first event in a very, very long time, talking about feminism in YA as part of the always splendid New York Teen Author Festival! If you’re in the city, be at the Mulberry Street branch of the NYPL from 6-8PM to hear from a host of brilliant authors like @novaren & @marierutkoski - I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of this conversation. Check out nyctaf.com for the full schedule of events this week!
To celebrate International Women’s Day, New York Times bestselling mystery/thriller author Karen Rose will be matching up to $4000 in donations to the Read For Pixels fundraiser between March 11th and 13th! Which means there’s still time to win–and we can talk about anything you want, and since it’ll just be us, it can be as spoilery or as teasery as you like! In case you’d like the link…
Click click.
Even my editor hasn’t seen what I’ll be reading, so it should be…interesting. Especially with the live Q&A right after, I imagine. Be gentle?
(ALSO: You can bid on some stuff to benefit this amazing non-profit–a 30 minute one-on-one Skype chat with me, or a signed/personalised/brand-new teasy first edition set of the Mara Dyer trilogy with bits from The Shaw Confessions that no one has seen yet. Get on it! https://thepixelproject.rallyup.com/read4pixels2017-iwd )
So I’ve taken leave from reality and social media to work on creative stuff full time, but I’m temporarily decloaking to support the Pixel Project, a virtual, volunteer-led global organisation whose mission is to raise awareness for the cause to end violence against women, an issue that’s incredibly important to me.
The link to the AMA will be posted over at the Reddit Fantasy community - www.reddit.com/r/fantasy - between 11AM-3PM EST tomorrow, and I’ll be live at 7PM EST to answer your questions about anything and everything for as long as I can.
Then, next week, tune in here to hear me possibly, probably, read from The Shaw Confessions for the first time. I’m terrified I’m excited! (Seriously, I am–I can’t wait to talk about the books with you).
See you tomorrow!

alternative book covers: mara dyer trilogy by michelle hodkin.
“Do not find peace. Find passion. Find something you want to die for more than something you want to live for.“ - Michelle Hodkin [insp]
So, the news is out! I’m writing more books. Specifically, more books about the characters in the Mara Dyer trilogy, from the point of view of Noah Shaw. You can read the announcement about the new series here: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/02/michelle-hodkin-mara-dwyer-trilogy-exclusive
I am so, so excited to be writing this series, I can’t even tell you. But I can tell you this: my hope, always, was that the Mara Dyer trilogy would be satisfying for readers on its own, but from the very, very first words of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, I knew that what I was writing was an origin story. Which meant that by the end of her story, told from her point of view, there had to be quite a bit of ambiguity by necessity–what happened to certain characters, what would happen to them going forward, what some of them may or may not know about themselves by the end of her books, etc. But as Mara and Noah and Jamie and Daniel discovered at the end, the story doesn’t stop with them. There’s a much wider world of Carriers out there, and I badly wanted the chance to explore it. And thanks to you, I’m getting that chance. Not a day has gone by without being asked by a reader whether I’d consider writing books from Noah’s point of view, and it’s your enthusiasm for the series, four years after it debuted, that allowed me to get the chance to tell Noah’s story. His mind, his voice, his experience–it’s so different from Mara’s, it’s been strange and a bit unsettling getting into it. Expect the unexpected, is what I’m saying, but also know that I care, deeply, about these characters and about your attachment to them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly.
To give you a bit more of an accurate picture of the series, here’s a little summary that didn’t quite make it into the EW piece:
What happens after happily ever after? By the end of the Mara Dyer Trilogy, Noah Shaw and Mara Dyer discovered their world-changing abilities along with their love for each other. In the first book of The Shaw Confessions, Noah’s father is murdered, and Noah inherits unimaginable riches, terrible knowledge, and the chance to find other people like himself. But as Noah and Mara begin their global search, they’ll discover that they have very different goals: Noah wants peace. Mara wants power. When the girl of your dreams turns the world into a nightmare, what do you choose? The girl or the world?
It’s going to be dark. It’s going to be twisted. It’s going to be sexy. I think you’re going to love it. I really, really hope you do.
“You will love Noah Shaw to ruins, unless you let him go. Whether it’s fate or chance, coincidence or destiny, I have seen his death a thousand ways in a thousand dreams over a thousand nights, and the only one who can prevent it is you.”
I want to unleash her, and I think this is how.
Retribution has arrived, and I dedicated it to you. #forthebadgirls #andtheboyswholovethem
i just saw retribution spoilers and im so upset i want to cry and punch a wall. it hasnt even been RELEASED YET ????
I haven’t seen the spoiler you speak of, but this brings up a point I’ve been meaning to talk to you about.
A few early copies of Retribution have been...
Just a few days after Halloween. And I promised to release a bit of it today, in exchange for your promise to dress up as Mara on All Hallows Eve.
To secure that promise, I’m going to give away three (THREE!) personalized first edition hardcover sets (SETS!) of The Mara Dyer trilogy. If you...
