E.K. Johnston had several jobs and one vocation before she became a published writer. If she's learned anything, it's that things turn out weird sometimes, and there's not a lot you can do about it. Well, that and how to muscle through awkward fanfic because it's about a pairing she likes.
You can follow Kate on Twitter (@ek_johnston) to learn more about Alderaanian political theory than you really need to know, on Tumblr (ekjohnston) if you're just here for the pretty pictures, or online at ekjohnston.ca.
PRAISE FOR AHSOKA "Ahsoka is a character exploration with sides of
action, politics, and drama with an emotional center that gives me
a greater appreciation for Ahsoka's role in the
galaxy."--Nerdist
PRAISE FOR AHSOKA "A great treat for young--and not so young--Star
Wars fans that provides a thrilling backstory for a compelling
character."--Kirkus
PRAISE FOR AHSOKA "Full of action, emotion, and yes, plenty of
answers, Ahsoka is a must-read for any Star Wars fan."
--TV Source
PRAISE FOR QUEEN'S SHADOW "[Padmé is] a fascinating character
worthy of much more attention--not just to see those details come
to life, but watch her courtly arc from defiant yet reserved Queen
to shrewd, adventurous politician truly shine. Hopefully, Queen's
Shadow is just the beginning, even if it's taken us 20 years to get
there."--iO9
PRAISE FOR QUEEN'S SHADOW "It's not hyperbole to say that when
Queen's Shadow was announced last year at San Diego Comic-Con,
there was not only excessive happiness, but an almost frenzied
collective exhale. This novel by E.K. Johnston is long overdue and
with the expectations of a whole generation of Star Wars fans
weighing on her, she delivers with a deeply moving and thoughtful
look at this important character and her loyal Handmaidens."--The
Force.net
PRAISE FOR QUEEN'S SHADOW "Johnston's observation of Padmé is so
pitch-perfect that she could herself have been a handmaiden.
Consequently, both Padmé and Sabé emerge from under the Queen's
shadow with real heart, and they wear their fallibility and sense
of public duty on their heavily embroidered sleeves."--The Mary
Sue
"Johnston has become a unique and inspiring voice in the stories of
Star Wars. Her books dive deep into the psyches of their main
characters to develop not just their motivations for fighting in
their respective wars, but their internal struggles, doubts, and
desires as well."--Dork Side of the Force
"Solid and intriguing. . . . this look into Padmé's ascent both
honors its source material and colors in its scope. Johnston builds
Padmé into an icon worthy of her reputation while underscoring her
strong camaraderie with the handmaidens."--Kirkus Reviews
"Throughout Ahsoka and Queen's Shadow before this, E.K. Johnston
has shared with us her ability to craft characters that feel much
more like old friends than fictional protagonists. . . . With
Queen's Peril, Johnston has reached a whole new level."--Youtini
