Artists of all stripes: John Krasinski almost quit acting. He couldn't land anything. His mom told him to keep going. A few weeks later, he got the part of Jim in The Office.

The three covers for the Blade and Bone books: Brittle is green with an image of a young woman with a knife hovering between her hands as it disintegrates. Tempered Glass is a rust color and features the same woman with her hands ablaze. Forged is red and features the same woman, her hands covered in silver.
