A (very unusual) day in the life of an author! How often do you get to cross something off your career bucket list TWICE? So many thanks to Good Morning America for having me back, and many thanks to the @gmabookclub for selecting HAWK & SPARROW as its September YA Book Club Pick! It was such a treat to be back! HAWK & SPARROW is a Gilded Age-inspired fantasy novel about a struggling reporter who agrees to help clear a rich sorcerer’s name in a local scandal in exchange for the money to save her newspaper. If you like stories set in the autumn and filled with magic, mystery, and a dash of romance, this might be your jam. 🍁😊 Dress: @simkhai Styling: @adriancausing 👗 Hair: @allure__extensionsllc 🪮 + @boudoir.hair MUA: @alyssashackil 💄 (I don’t gatekeep, everyone gets their flowers.) Thank you to every person who made the day so special, especially my publicist @marrujokelsey, my agency @parkfinebrower and agent @petejknapp, and of course my editor @the_bkdjb! I appreciate each of you more than I could ever contain in an Instagram post. 🫶🏾 01 Sep 2026 My fourth novel—I, MEDUSA—is officially out in the world today. Thank you to every single person who has been a part of this journey. To my agent, @petejknapp, my editor, @_caitlinmckenna and the wonderful folks at @randomhousebooks : thank you for being part of the village that brought this book to life. I, MEDUSA is a villain origin story that reimagines the iconic Medusa as a young woman who becomes caught in the violent cross currents of ruthless and rivaling gods. It’s a story of heartbreak, tragedy, and rage, but it’s also a story of redemption, hope, and sisterhood. It’s out now (how cool to say that??) and you can get it wherever you like to get your books/ebooks/audiobooks. Let the villain era begin. 🍁🐍🖤 #imedusa #ayanagray 18 Nov 2025 SO excited to share some really big news! I, MEDUSA—an epic villain origin story that reimagines the life of the infamous Medusa—is out November 18th and will now have a limited, special edition run! This first edition hardcover will feature stunning sprayed edges, a premium dust jacket with foil, and a gorgeous custom-stamped case, while supplies last. You can preorder it now from your favorite place to buy books! #ayanagray #imedusa #greekreimagining 21 Apr 2025 After a pretty chaotic month, I got a bit of a silver lining: not one but TWO (!!) of my books are @goodreads choice award nominees! Thank you to the readers who’ve loved Meddy, Vesper, and Max enough to get them on this list along so many really great titles! Winning either of these is a longshot (again, there are some great books on these lists), but if you enjoyed either one and have five seconds to vote, it’d be a rad Christmas present! 🥹 Link in bio! PS - the version of I, MEDUSA that you’re seeing is the new special edition paperback that comes out next week 👀 @fiercereads @randomhousebooks 10 Nov 2026 The Beckford Scholarship - 12 StoryCon scholarships will be offered for 3 years.

(Widerwillig und so gar nicht gern.) 🪶🔮🍁 In HAWK AND SPARROW treffen Rivals to Lovers und Fake Dating auf eine heimliche Mordermittlung – und das alles mit viiiiel Banter und Tension in einem Gilded Age-inspirierten Fantasy Setting. ✨   ✨ Tropes, Inhalte und Altersempfehlung: 🪶 High Society 🪶 Mystic Fantasy 🪶 Rivals to Lovers 🪶 Fake Courting 🪶 Heimliche M🔮rdermittlungen ⏳ Ab 14 Jahren   ✨ Mood-Check: Magische Romantasy für alle Fans von “Divine Rivals” 🪶🔮🍁   📖 HAWK AND SPARROW erscheint als Hardcover am 30.03.2027 Vesper ist Reporterin beim Basalton Globe und hat die High Society schon immer verabscheut – so wie die Magie, die ihnen dieses luxuriöse Leben beschert. Als sie über eine rauschende Gala berichten soll, findet ausgerechnet sie den Mann, der gerade ermordet wurde. Als Hauptverdächtiger gilt schnell der berühmte Magier Maximilian Kite. Max unterbreitet Vesper ein Angebot: Wenn sie gemeinsam herausfinden, wer den Mord begangen hat, und so seinen Ruf reinwaschen, finanziert er ihre Zeitung – und das wäre dringend notwendig. Das Ganze hat nur einen Haken: Um Zutritt zu der wohlhabenden Gesellschaft zu bekommen, müssen sie sich als Paar ausgeben. Und das, obwohl sie sich nicht ausstehen können … 🎨 Cover-Design © Michèle Dirkes unter Verwendung einer Illustration von Tara Spruit ( @taratjah ) 📖 Übersetzt von Bianca Dyck 💡Über das Wochenende bis zum 02.11.2026 sollten sich die Buchhandels-Shops aktualisiert haben, so dass du alle Titel unseres kommenden Programmes zur Vorbestellung findest.

It was a very quick trip (less than 48 hours!) but so lovely to see so many readers! Author events are a toss up. You go into each one not knowing how many (if any!) will show up, and you always mentally prepare for the worst-case scenario. But Las Vegas showed up and showed out in the very best way, and really reminded that I’m not screaming into a void when I write these stories. As I work under deadline for *multiple projects*, that reminder was a true and well-timed boon. It’s finally starting to cool down here in Arkansas, and it’s at last starting to feel a bit like fall. Here’s to the adventures that await this season, and many thanks to every person who has been apart of them thus far! 🫶🏾 19 Oct 2026 We are thrilled to host authors @amandafoody and @cl_herman at Underbrush Books on November 11 in celebration of the release of A Destiny So Cruel! This will be a moderated author talk by @ayanagray_ followed by a Q&A and signing! This is a ticketed event. Each ticket includes a copy of the book and entry for 2 people! Head to the link in our bio for tickets!! Buy tickets here: https://underbrushbooks.com/products/a-destiny-so-cruel-by-amanda-foody-c-l-herman-author-event-ticket 16 Oct 2026 More good news for Hawk & Sparrow! It has been selected as a finalist in the YA fantasy category for this year’s teen readers’ choice, awards, sponsored by @operationliteracy! This is the only national award that is created for teens and decided BY teens, so it’s really a treat for Hawk & Sparrow to have been chosen! Voting is open between October 15 and 30th, if you are a teen and you enjoyed Hawk and sparrow pretty please vote for Max and Vesper! 🫶🏾❤️ #storycon #operationliteracy 16 Oct 2026 What an honor and privilege it was to join the Friends of @stpaulpubliclibrary this weekend for their annual Opus & Olives benefit dinner! I like to remind people that, besides the fact that I am the granddaughter of two New York librarians, when I was the new kid for 5 years in a row due to lots of moves for my parents’ careers, libraries were one of the only consistencies in my life. They mean the world to me because they once WERE my whole world. Thank you to everyone who works in big and small ways every day to remind the world that libraries aren’t just buildings with walls and windows, but cornerstones in communities all around the world. 🫶🏾 We need them more than ever, and they need us too. Also! As a special bonus, I had the privilege of sharing the stage with a dynamic group of authors. We all have such different back stories and write about different things, and it was a pleasure to learn from each of you! @nikesha_elise @hamegram and Liaquat Ahamed! Next stop: Las Vegas! 14 Oct 2026
