Hi! Me again. xD I promise I won't bother you anymore but...

How do you pronounce Waschbar's name? <:D I'm thinking it's "Vask-bear..."

You are most welcome, Maedel, and thank you for the lovely note! I'm so glad you enjoyed the series. :)

Thank you for returning my friend request, Mrs. Mantchev! I can't believe my favorite author knows I exist... It gives me goosebumps. I've probably read the Theatre Illuminata Trilogy five times, over and over... when I have writer's block I always read them for inspiration xD

Thanks again! ^^

Thank you, Cat, I appreciate it! (And I have a new manuscript done right now that's with my agent. *fingers crossed*)

Thanks for the add! I love your books and cannot wait to see what you will release in the future. Your writing is fantastic. :D

Hi Laura!

Thank you for your lovely note, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the ending! Hopefully there will be more theater books someday... :)

Lisa

I finally got So Silver Bright and am COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. It's perfect. No more words than that.

...but now I'm miserable... It's all over.

Thank you for what has become my favorite trilogy.

Hi Daphne,

I really appreciate the invite and the fact that you love the books so much! I'm in the middle of trying to draft a new book, so I can't join the group, but I'd be more than happy to answer questions, if you want to compile them and email them to me!

And thank you again for being a patron of the theater!

Lisa

Ms.Mantchev, I recently started a book group on Paranormal Romance called "Dystopian And Paranormal Romance" I am featuring your series and I was hoping you could become a member and we could do a little online question and answer session for all your fans. I was also hoping you could invite all your friends and fans so that the discussion becomes a hit! I, in turn, am itroducing your series to whoever joins. Mind you, I started the group day before yesterday, so I m also asking for your help. If you have time, I can also make you a moderator.

P.S the club does not meet in person

Hi there!

I would love to come visit... we shall have to keep our fingers crossed that SO SILVER BRIGHT goes 'splodey on the NYT Bestseller List so I can go on tour! :)

Thank you for the lovely note, and I am so glad you are enjoying the series.

Lis

Ms. Mantchev... Thank ya for accepting my add!
PLEASE COME ON AN AUTHOR SIGNING TO BRAMPTON CHAPTERS! OR TORONTO CHAPTERS! Either one is fine!
I just got Eyes Like Stars yesterday and am on page 89. I was busy yesterday so I couldn't erally start it. I love Bertie. You made her sooooo strong and courageous... That's what I would LOVE to see in a female character. Thank you Ms. Mantchev for allowing me to finally get a AWESOME book in a long time!

Well, you see, I'd give you mine (i really do actually have one- the crazy things we do in high school!) but it's sort of.. squished. Flattened. Not in the best of shape. And it wasn't that great to begin with!

Hey Laura,

You are most welcome (and I want a whipped cream hat!!)

Lis

Hey... Thanks for allowing me to be your friend. You're one of my favorite authors and one of the few people whose books I actually buy instead of getting them from the library. I can't wait to get So Silver Bright! (If Borders is totally bankrupt by then... we'll see.) Also, just wanted to say that "Alas, poor Yorick" has become my favorite phrase- not because of Hamlet itself, but because of your references to it. For another also... Because of Twilight, people keep categorizing themselves into team Jacob, Edward, Switzerland, what have you. Forget them- I say Team Bertie!
Thanking you for your amazing books,
the girl in the whipped cream hat <3

That is FABULOUS. I loved the Anne books, growing up... I must have internalized that! *L*

Lisa

Hi! I love your books and I just recently finished Anne's House of Dreams. One of the characters was called Bertie Shakespeare. It seemed like a funny coincidence so I thought I'd share. Can't wait to read So Silver Bright. I so know it's going to rock :) P.S. You've also made reading Shakespeare so much more fun!

Elizabeth wrote: "I just want to say thank you for adding me as a friend and that I just love Prechance to Dream! To me you are amazing and I cannot wait to see what happens next :)"

You are most welcome, Elizabeth, and I hope you enjoy SO SILVER BRIGHT next year!! :)

I just want to say thank you for adding me as a friend and that I just love Prechance to Dream! To me you are amazing and I cannot wait to see what happens next :)

Thank you for adding me as a friend. I just started reading Eyes Like Stars today on my e-reader, which I bought on a whim - I am so glad I did. You are very talented! The story is very original, and the characters are great. Looking forward to reading the next one - Perchance to Dream!

I just stumbled upon goodreads last week and heard about your book here. Naturally I went out and bought it and started reading immediately! I have to say it's the first Young Adult book to peek my interests in a long time. I look forward to what you have to come out with in the future <3

Hooray!!! First off, THANK YOU. And secondly, I am going to put in an order for bookplates (with the theater's facade on them) so I can sign-and-send, at least until I can manage a tour.

Enjoy!

Lis

I hope you come to my area. I bought your book, finally today, I was able to break away from my desk. I would love for you to sign it!! I can't wait to read it this weekend!!!

Hey Terra,

I don't any any signings/touring on the calender yet, but I will definitely post here when something gets added! :D

Lis

Ah gotchya, I wasn't sure what 'ARC' meant. LOL I need to catch up on the lingo. I'm sorry I missed it. Question for ya, any chance of you coming for a book signing in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area anytime soon? :-) I am going to head out on my lunch break and buy your book! I can't wait to read it!!!
