Enjoy our presentation of Anna Dressed in Blood, by Kendare Blake and published by Tor Teen.Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home...Yet she spares Cas's life.Anna Dressed in Blood was one of NPR's Top 5 Young Adult Novels of 2011. It was also a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Book of the Year title. This title is recommended for ages 15+ for violence and language.

First Draft Episode #278: Katharine McGee Katharine McGee is the New York Times bestselling author of The Thousandth Floor series, as well as American Royals and its sequel, Majesty. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode In her fanfiction, Katharine would correct existing books to have happier endings, like the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman (she got so attached to her new ending that she hasn’t yet gotten the courage to read The Secret Commonwealth, sequel to The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage) and the Redwall series by Brian Jacques Katharine wishes she knew about National Novel Writing Month when she was drafting her thesis Katharine has a soft spot for works that reclaim the stories of women who, to this point, have mostly been known for being adjacent to men as the men make history. Novels like The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley; Margaret George’s Helen of Troy: A Novel Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Katharine edited Pretty Little Liars books 9-16 by Sara Shepard, and Kass Morgan’s The 100 (listen to Kass’s First Draft interview here), and some of Laura Avery’s books When Katharine first tried her hand at writing American Royals, she’d been watching a lot of House of Cards, so the tone of her book was MUCH darker than what ended up on shelves Katharine was lucky enough to go on book tour with Kendare Blake, New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series, Anna Dressed in Blood, and more (listen to us chatting on this live episode of First Draft!) Katharine cites Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series as a major influence over her vision for the future in the Thousandth Floor series Katharine pitches American Royals as Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown If you get the chance, ask Katharine about her feelings on how publishing is represented in the TV show Younger American Royals was featured in The Skimm; However, Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine remains a moving target The Secret Diary of Ann Boelyn by Robin Maxwell I want to hear from you!

Anna Dressed in Blood By Kendare Blake His job is to kill ghosts, even though they are already dead. Cas and his mother travel all over tracking down spirits that don’t want to go quietly into the night. With the knife his father used to send spirits packing, Cas goes after ghosts that harm humans. And he’s heard about Anna Dressed in Blood and realizes she might be a match for him. Recommended for 8th grade and up.
Aífe and Ciara discuss our second spooky season book: Anna Dressed in Blood. Kendare Blake's 2011 novel is about a girl called Anna and her excellent fashion choices. A book so supernatural and romantic that Stephanie Meyer's production company might make it into a movie. Let's talk magic; let's talk lying about being a wiccan; let's talk ghost hunting; let's talk like, a lot about who drove where with who and when. Content warnings for head injuries, gore, body horror, death, murder, pet death, implied sexual assault, and discussions of racism including references to the trans-atlantic slave trade.

The Bigfoot Discovery Museum is real, Sarah did go there with fellow YA and MG author Kirsten Hubbard (author of Wanderlove, Watch the Sky, Race the Night and more -- listen to her First Draft interview here!) The purveyor of the Bigfoot Discovery Museum was a man who looked just like George R. R. Martin, author of the Game of Thrones series The Bees by Laline Paull, is a book from the point of view of bees Somaiya is inspired by Star Wars (especially the prequel trilogy, The Phantom Menace) and the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, but she also really loves The Silmarillion. MoPOP, a modern art museum in Seattle that hosted the Star Wars costume exhibit when it was in town Dealing in Dreams by Lilliam Rivera also explores the world of a matriarchy Somaiya uses Scrivener to organize her extensive historical documents that she writes before she drafts her books Aeon Timeline is timeline software Somaiya paid for to create a 1,000-year history of the world of her book I get to discuss Yucca Mountain, where we should be sending all of America’s radioactive waste!
