Because look, look, look at the beautiful work of art that Kalman Andrasofszky created for THE FIRE KING. He captured the novel so perfectly. And rather than just let this lovely thing sit at the website, you’re going to be seeing it as part of some upcoming promotions; namely, printed on upcoming giveaways: tote bags, especially.
Speaking of which, Dirk & Steele is now on blog. For all you fans of the series, I’ll be chatting at Second Life next week on August 4th, and we need your questions. Look here for more information, but here are the essential details:
Now is your chance to have your burning questions about the Dirk & Steele series answered. Send your questions to and Marjorie will select 5 lucky winners to receive an autographed copy of The Fire King!
Your questions can be about character, plot, or even Marjorie’s writing process, but it must be Dirk & Steele related in some way to qualify. We will be accepting questions until midnight PST on Sunday, August 2nd so don’t delay!
And I’m going to add to that: Leave questions about the Dirk & Steele series in the comments below—and on Sunday, August 2nd, I’ll pick one person who will win a special THE FIRE KING tote bag.

I have been addicted to the Dirk and Steele series since the beginning and have always had trouble trying ot decide which of the beautiful covers was my favourite. Now I know - it’s going to be The Fire King (when I can afford to buy it). That is one magical cover and I love the touch with little flame with the crown inside :D
(oh how apt - my word is fire23 )

Wow...that’s some serious artwork. Anyway, I can’t wait to start FK. Will we see more of Dean and Miri in future D&S installments? They’re a favorite of mine...Thanks!

Can’t wait to get this book! I was wondering though,what made you choose for your heroine to have only one arm? I love Grant all the more for his limp but why write Soria the way she is? Can’t wait to get reading!!! arh! x

So very cool. I get a very Thor/He-man vibe from the artwork. BTW, just finished The Fire King and absolutely loved it!
Posted by on 08/01 at 04:16 PM
I was so happy to see the artwork, it really is stunning. I love the Dirk & Steele series. I guess my question has more to do with the techincal side of things. How much research and world building do you have to do for D&S? I remember reading that you wrote the first book in a month, but do you do much set up before hand or just see where the story takes you?
Posted by on 08/02 at 11:19 AM
I haven’t read the Dirk and Steele novels yet. Can I jump on board with this one, or should I start somewhere else? Thanks
Posted by on 08/02 at 11:24 AM
I can’t wait to read the Fire King. The cover makes me want to read the book. I think I’ll go ahead and read it.

Stupid Borders still doesn’t have it yet so I bought The Wild Road instead to get introduced to the series.

Are we going to see a future book featuring Eddie and Evie?
My word is “they85”

P.S. I cannot believe that I forgot to say how amazing this art work is. Even before I saw the picture, I pictured Karr and Soria, this way!

How many books will there be in this series?
Posted by I Heart Book Gossip on 08/03 at 08:25 AM
ooh. That is pretty.
Posted by carolyn Jewel on 08/03 at 12:01 PM
OH NOS! This is what I get for skipping the laptop for a couple of days - I miss the chance at the awesome tote bag of awesomeness! Maaaaan!
Oh well, it’s a really cool illustration though. Also, I like the thing that you posted about how it doesn’t require giving up much to write. Me, I need the school year to start before my brain is online enough after bedtime to write, but I would never let it interfere with my marriage or kids. So I like that post. True art, in any form, doesn’t require sacrifice in those areas. (At least not to the point of divorce and such.) Art comes from life, you don’t destroy one for the other or else you will have very little base from which to create.

Everytime we start to make love, the first few thrusts hurt, kinda like the first time, but after a while the pain goes away. Whats going on here?

What is the best way to combat loneliness? I am 28, have a goodish job (athough my finances are dire), a boyfriend I no longer love and few friends or interests outside work. I am suddenly realising I am really alone and want to change things but at the momet canot bear to bring myself to even go out. Dining Chair

It is said that woman is not a perfect woman who without a juicy couture wallet or juicy couture handbags in her hands.Maybe all ladies are concern about this just like almost all women aware that the juicy couture dresses make them more sexy and charming.A fashion lady must have juicy couture daydreamer or juicy handbags on her hands, a juicy couture jewelry around her neck. To be fashion is not cheap, juicy couture tracksuit is your ideal choice.

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain-proof. It is also called corrosion-resistant steel or CRES when the alloy type and grade are not detailed.

Hi Marjorie,
I love all the books in the Dirk & Steele series, but I think at the top of my list would have to be Tiger eye and Shadow touch. After being trapped for so many years, Hari still had a heart of gold, and dear Artur...I just love him! I just started The Fire King, and I’m absolutely loving it from word one so far!
I was wondering if Lise Amarro is going to get her own story?
Thank you so much,
Amy S.
