When the opportunity to interview the delightful Maggie Stiefvater came my way, I literally jumped at the chance. I've been a big fan of Maggie's ever since I read (and loved) Lament last year. I had the pleasure of meeting her at BEA in May and I can tell you she is as spunky and funny and delightful as you would imagine the creator of Dee and James and Luke would be.

That braid is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI bet she felt so pretty! I love her hair!

ReplyDeleteHow cute! And I love her hair.
ReplyDeleteThat is a WICKED Rapunzel dress. Wasn't your daughter Cinderella last year? It's good to know your children are good and proper Disney fans!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow... I can't believe how big your kids are getting!!! So cute, you always do such a great job with costumes. =) Hope you are doing well! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys. They had a great time and I have such a fun time on Halloween with them.

Allie, my husband is a photographer and so I benefit from his excellent skills & equipment. For the top two shots he was using his Nikon D700. The bottom one of the braid I took with my iPhone. lol.

I LOVE the flowers in her hair! Gorgeous!
