Addressing recent questions
Hello beautiful people,
With sincere thanks to those who highlighted the issue, I’ve been made aware that a character name was used in Nevernight that shouldn’t have been. In love and support of my Jewish readers, friends, and their communities, I and my publishers commit to changing that name in all future printings of the novels.
The ongoing hate-motivated violence in the U.S. has left me as appalled as any international citizen. To those urging me to be more vocal on this issue, I hear you, and after the amazing success of our recent Sea Shepherd fundraiser, I am even more committed to taking measurable action on global problems. Therefore, all proceeds from our next charity fundraiser will be donated to the Anti-Defamation League, and as always, I will match funds raised. Additionally, out of love and support for my AAPI readers and friends, and to show my respect for their communities in this time of inequity and rising violence in the United States, proceeds from our following fundraiser will be donated to the Stop AAPI Hate fund. As always, I will match funds raised, and will continue to look for meaningful ways to help fight global injustices.
Thank you all for your honesty, support and incredible generosity.
Love, Jay
Love you!!! 💜
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you and all the other incredible authors who have been creating worlds for us to get lost in. With such immense world building it would be ridiculous to expect you to get every fact right, every word, letter or sentence. It is beyond tiring to constantly read that our much loved authors being torn down over and over again for a simple mistake or overreaction from the reader. amidst the stream of hate and negativity i would like to be a small sprinkly of goodness and just say thank you Your stories have helped me escape on a number of occasions. Please continue to work your magic! We love you!
I support you and your glorious writing in all its forms. You are a fantastic human. Thanks for all your charitable efforts thus far and beyond. If you’re looking for a new name for a blood-drinking, ritualistic and delightfully evil yet somehow seductive character, I’d be honored for you to use my name.

Dear Dude, well said. The Haters are always going to Hate. These days they just have a louder microphone. Very un-cool. Let the Pen be mightier than the Sword! Your written word is food for my soul. Your stories become apart of my life story. Too many books, too few centuries…..Remember we are out here, like shinning stars. Waiting patiently for the next chapters you write. Waiting for your best version of yourself to manifest with every book. The opposite of the Haters.
Also, as stated before in a comment, you can use my name in a book. Renee means re-born……Oh, plot twist!
