I really love seeing the art before the type elements/design elements are added.

I was wondering, do you keep the false starts and revisions prior to re-writes. As in, since you are starting Touch over again, do you still hold on to the versions that it was prior to final product?

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:23:08 -0400

I hold on to the prior versions in that there are copies on my computer. So I have TOUCH A and TOUCH...

I am a long standing addict to the cast series but for unknown reasons never dived into the sun sword series. Recently I was short of reading stock and decided to try this. First, I need to say that I thought it absolutely superb. Second, I was astonished to find several of the books near impossible to purchase legitimately in ebook format. In particular book 4 but also book s 3 and 5 are widely available illegally but not on mainstream ecommerce sites. How come?

I know this isn't really a question, but I want to let you know I just got my copy of Cast in Peril and I can't wait to read it! (The book store I use tends to get things in early :) )

This is so awesome I am speechless.

Okay, not quite speechless. Not only is this completely fabulous, but unbeknownst to the (amazing) artist, in book three I actually describe Cat as acquiring a spruce green traveling skirt with a double row of front buttons.

My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court

I’ve been sending out some impertinent tweets about Progressive Insurance lately, but I haven’t explained how they pissed me off. So I will do that here as succinctly as possible. There’s a general understanding that says, “insurance companies— oh they’re awful,” but since Progressive turned their shit hose on my late sister and my parents, I’ve learned some things that really surprised me.

I’ll try to cleave to the facts. On June 19, 2010, my sister was driving in Baltimore when her car was struck by another car and she was killed. The other driver had run a red light and hit my sister as she crossed the intersection on the green light.

Will you write a book providing more details on the hawk lord and his people and also a book with more details on the Lord of the Wolves? thanks

So I just finished re-reading the Cast series in preparation for the new one, and since I finished early, I went and re-read Skirmish. And I realized that each of these books really takes place over a grand total of a week at most. (Skirmish is what, 6 days?) If it wouldn't be considered spoiler-ish, how long are _Peril_ and _Battle_? As in, how many days does their action span?

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 20:08:11 -0400

Peril covers a couple of weeks. Battle starts about two months after Skirmish, but - wait (this is...

Are there different covers for Hunter's Death? :S I was ordering Hunter's Oath & Death on amazon and then I remembered seeing a different cover here. Well not really different but the background art has been darkened over (same for Chapters Indigo as well). Which is a shame, I love the art.

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:45:27 -0400

The cover of Hunter’s Death has the same art. But in the first printing (or first and second...

When Kaylin is learning about the Tha'alan she learns of a race of gryphon like beings that were exterminated by the then "chosen", are there any other races that we haven't been introduced to yet? Living races?

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is: there is one mortal race that doesn’t live...

What's the difference between being just a Dragon vs. Dragon Lord? Does Lord have a special meaning among Dragons? Can female be called Lords, like the Barrani, regardless of gender?

Technically, Lord is a courtesy title given to Dragons in the Empire, because all of the Dragons in...

This may be a bit spoiler-ish for Cast in Peril but I am current re-reading all the Cast books and while I am in the middle of Courtlight, I was wondering how much of Courtlight plays a part in Peril and Sorrow? In other words should I be looking for "easter eggs"? -- Thanks, Genna

Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:38:55 -0400

There are no easter eggs, per se, but many of the elements that were important to the Barrani High...
