Fathers in the Arcanium Saga Books

I lost my mother just before Mothers' Day some forty years ago. Almost exactly thirty years later, I lost my father, too. So, both of these holidays are hard for me, and I tend to see them as bittersweet. But, I decided this morning that it might be fun to mark...

Birds and Bees and Other Wild Things

I moved into my current home about two years ago. It's the first house I've owned and it took me over a decade to save up for the down payment, with over two years of searching and multiple offers on other homes that fell through in the pandemic-induced skyrocketing...

Busting the Rich Author Myth

It's pretty much a given that when someone finds out I'm a published author, they assume I'm rich. Like JK Rowling. Because, apparently, all authors live in mansions and fly around in private jets and have staff to cater to their worldly needs while they focus on...

Author Statement on AI

I can't believe I live in a world where this needs to actually be said, but here it is: I do not use AI in any part of my writing or process. Ever. All of my stories are thought up in my own head. I then chart them out with pen and paper and sticky notes to create my...

A Note About My Author Blog

I've been concerned, of late, with the state of my author blog. I haven't posted much over the past half year or so because I honestly have no idea what to put here. Do people just want to see book updates? Do they actually want personal, behind-the-scenes stuff? (I...

River of Crows Shortlisted for Rubery Book Award

I am thrilled to announce that River of Crows was shortlisted for this year's Rubery Book Award in the Children's and YA category! It did not win, but it was still very exciting to make it to the shortlist. 😊 This makes three awards now, either won or...

My CBC All in a Day Radio Interview!

Last week I got a very exciting email inviting me to be a guest on CBC Radio's All in Day program, and today we chatted about my Wishing Shelf Book Award silver medal win, the inspiration for River of Crows, writing for kids, and lots more! Check out the interview...

Pre-Launch Promos!

In just a a few short weeks now, Stone of Serpents will be out! On top of that, we're also coming up to the River of Crows second anniversary and the Mirror of Wolves first anniversary, too. So, in light of all these milestones all happening around the same time, I'm...

Rainy Day Inspiration

I've been told that people like it when authors share writing tips, so I've starting doing that on my Instagram page. But today, I wanted to go into more detail than I tend to on those posts and talk about one of the things I do when I'm trying to work out specifics...

About the Author

A photograph of the author

N.P. Thompson lives in Ottawa, Canada, with her two awesome kids and a very lazy cat. When she’s not building web things you can either find her wrangling plot bunnies or binge-watching episodes of Doctor Who and Babylon 5. She enjoys talking to the neighbourhood crows (most days), but wishes they would stop nagging her about not having finished their stories yet.
