Rebecca Coffindaffer (they/she) grew up on Star Wars, Star Trek, fantastical movies and even more fantastical books. They waited a long time for their secret elemental powers to develop, and in the interim, they started writing stories about magic and politics, spaceships, far-off worlds, and people walking away from explosions in slow motion. These days they live in Kansas with their family, surrounded by a lot of books and a lot of tabletop games and a very spoiled dog. They're the author of the YA space opera duology Crownchasers and Thronebreakers, out now from HarperTeen. ...more

Certain books I turn back to again and again as places of comfort -- like Good Omens, Trickster's Queen, Howl's Moving Castle, A String in the Harp -- all laid a foundation. For Crownchasers in particular, I think I felt the impact of a lot of onscreen stories as well, like Star Wars, the Fifth Element, Buffy (the TV series). I seem to gravitate toward stories that take you down into a pit, literally or metaphorically, and then find a way to help you laugh about being down there, and I strive to provide that same mix of humor and darkness in my own works.

THRONEBREAKERS content warnings

There unfortunately won't be ARCs for Thronebreakers , but since we're about six months out, I still wanted to drop an author's note in here early with some content warnings and so forth.

Content warnings: alcohol use, blood/gore, death/loss/grief, murder, guilt and trauma, science fiction-related violence (i.e., blasters, spaceship battles, etc.)

This book is a little darker, a little bigger in Read more of this blog post »

“you can fixate on the past. or you can create a better future. which way is it going to be.”
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers

Run, a little voice in my head calls. Run far. Run fast. Run until you find new stars.
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers

“You're looking a little green over there, Farshot,' H.M. says.

I lean out of my jump seat far enough that I can punch him right in his beefy delt. 'I swear, if you don't stop giving me those looks, I'm gonna snatch out your eyeballs and throw them out an airlock.'

'Then I could get bionic eyeballs. Cool.'

Unbelievable.”
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers

Run, a little voice in my head calls. Run far. Run fast. Run until you find new stars.
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers

“A royal seal for her and a wide-open starscape for me. Nothing between me and the rest of the galaxy but time and cruiser fuel. I raise my glass high and drink it all down. That’s a toast I can get behind.”
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers

“Faye whistles a few notes. "Anyone want to play Triple Dares?"
"Ooh!" Coy pulls her feet off the dash, her face lighting up, but I cut her off quickly.
"I'd like to point out that there are no med facilities open anywhere near here and I'm not flying anybody to one, so put a cork in it, Coy.”
Rebecca Coffindaffer, Crownchasers
