Get the Pierce The Veil mug.Related Words
An author of fantasy novels for teenagers. Her works include "The Song of the Lioness" quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, The Woman who Rides Like A Man, Lioness Rampant), "The Immortals" quartet (Wild Magic, Wolf Speaker, Emperor Mage, The Realms of the Gods), and the "Protector of the Small" quartet (First Test, Page, Squire, Lady Knight). These three quartets are set in the imaginary midieval realm of Tortall.
Adding on to those sets in the Tortallan series are the two books of the "Daughter of the Lioness" (Trickster's Choice, Trickster's Queen) and the newest installment, "Beka Cooper" (Terrier). As of yet, Terrier is the only book in this series out.
Pierce also has books not set in Tortall out, like the "Circle of Magic" quartet (Sandry's Book, Tris's Book, Daja's Book, Briar's Book) and follows up on those with "The Circle Opens" (Magic Steps, Cold Fire, Street Magic, Shatterglass (I may have messed up the order there.)) Adding to that is "The Will of the Empress", which I'm not entirely sure belongs to a quartet, but follows "The Circle Opens".
Pierce edited an anthology called "Young Warriors".
In my opinion. Tamora Pierce is one of the most exceptional teen-fantasy novelists out there. Her work is filled with swords, sorcery, talking animals, animals that don't talk but probably should, humor, violence, and assholes you'd love to choke (and usually eventually die anyway, which makes it so much more satisfying).
Ms. Pierce got me into being an avid reader at a young age (and I'm only fifteen now). Therefore, if you want to get your child into reading, I suggest you get them a book by Tamora Pierce. Or read them yourself---they're all good. Her work is much better than that "Eragon" lord-of-the-rings-ripoff crap.

"Wow, Jill. This book was really good. Who was it by again?"
"By Tamora Pierce."
"OHMYGOD. Didn't I read a fanfic about Alanna killing Saphira before?"
"You did! I LOVED that. I wish it would happen."
"Yeah, Eragon sucks."
"I know. Pierce is so much better."
"Oh shiz, is that a randomly-placed H-bomb zooming at us?"
"HOLY---"

Get the Tamora Pierce mug.You hire someone based on their perceived potential, only later you get a solid proof of their capabilities or promise.
When you pursue a girl, you want to date her based on perceived potential of her in your life. Only later you find out who she really is and if it's a good fit or not.
Before you move to a new location (city, area, country), the city has certain perceived potential in your mind. Only after living there for a while, you validate your hopes or assumptions.

Get the Pierce Middle School mug.A calculation to estimate the power of a beer drinker. Determined by the following formula:
(Strength of beer in ABV / 5) * number of 12 ounce beers consumed
This gives a accurate calculation of the true beer consumption power of a drinker expressed in number of standard strength (5% ABV) beers.
Similar to the slugging percentage calculation in baseball, where a players total bases are divided by his at bats to estimate the power of a hitter.

Get the beer slugging percentage mug.A name generally given to extremely lucky males. People graced with this name are very talented and are exceptional in everything they do, and are generally noticed for it. Sports and arts abilities come easily to them due to their extraordinary minds and very capable bodies. People with this name get along with others very well, particularly females; this trait is also attributed to the fact that a Pierce is usually good looking. If a person has this name the chances are that they are an extremely smart individual, and are probably better at everything than you. If you are defeated at a task by a Pierce then don't bother trying again, you will never ever win, ever. Don't be ashamed though, there are those out there who would give there first born son just to know a legendary Pierce.
"Damn, Pierce beat me again today."
"Well, he is a Pierce."
