I have a new book out! No, it’s not another novel; it’s a self-published anthology of my twenty best short stories. It features: eldritch mermaids, murderous unicorns, marriages to Death, faeries in World War I, gods of various kinds, a captive star, and three stories from the world of CRIMSON BOUND.
You can buy it as a paperback from Amazon or as an ebook from multiple vendors.
1. The paperback edition of Endless Water, Starless Sky will come out this December. Please mark your calendars and remember that books about death and zombies are always excellent Christmas presents, especially when they’re paperbacks that are light enough to hold onto as you sprint away from the undead horde.
2. I’m continuing to work on my next novel, What Monstrous Gods, and I am very excited to share it with all of you! Unfortunately, that won’t be happening as soon as I had hoped: it’s now going to be published in early 2021.
3. But I do have something coming out in this year, because I’m self-publishing an anthology of my short stories. It’s going to be available as both a paperback and an ebook. The title will be Desires and Dreams and Powers, and it will feature all of my professionally published stories, plus my favorite pieces that I posted on the Hanging Garden Stories blog, and the three flash fictions that I wrote for the Crimson Bound blog tour. Unfortunately, I can’t give you an exact date when it will be available (I’m still figuring out this process), but I can tell you that it will be sometime in the next two months, and that I will of course let you all know when it’s ready.
I am THRILLED to be able to tell you that I have sold another novel! Here’s the official announcement from Publisher’s Weekly:
“Kristin Rens at Balzer + Bray has acquired a YA fantasy novel by Cruel Beauty author Rosamund Hodge. The book, What Monstrous Gods, starts where “Sleeping Beauty” leaves off, as Lia, a girl chosen by the gods of Runakhia, releases the royal family from 500 years of enchanted sleep and kills the heretic sorcerer who trapped them—only to find that the gods are not as benevolent as they appear, and the ghost of the sorcerer she killed may be her only help to protect her life and country. Publication is planned for winter 2020; Hannah Bowman at Liza Dawson Associates did the deal for world rights.”
I’m absolutely delighted to reveal the beautiful portraits of Romeo and Paris that Nicole / @tealideal has created for the Endless Water, Starless Sky preorder campaign.

Endless Water, Starless Sky is a really special book—my first sequel!—so I am celebrating its release with my first preorder bonus. Not only am I going to be sending out signed bookplates, I’m commissioning portraits of the four main characters, and I’m going to be giving a print to everybody who preorders. So far Runajo and Juliet have been finished, and this is what they look like:
