Where is Robin McKinley?

Robin McKinley lives in the United Kingdom. Her husband was author Peter Dickinson; they were married from 1991 until his death in 2015.

Did Robin McKinley write a sequel to Pegasus?

I was hugely disappointed when The Innocent Mage and Pegasus pulled this. On her website, Robin McKinley called the sequel to Pegasus “a sequel like THE RETURN OF THE KING is a sequel to THE TWO TOWERS“, which I’ve always found flippant, considering The Lord of the Rings is a single novel.

What is the name of the Blue Sword?

Plot summary This is the story of Harry Crewe, the Homelander orphan girl who becomes Harimad-sol, King’s Rider, and heir to the Blue Sword, Gonturan , which no woman had wielded since the legendary Lady Aerin herself bore it into battle.

Is there a sequel to Sunshine by Robin McKinley?

Angela No, no sequel. I know she’s said there will never be one, and if I had written this, I’d never want to get inside Constantine’s head again! But she has her own reasons. I’d be just as happy to see well-written fanfic, since there won’t be a sequel.
