S.M.’s comments from the Ask Frankie About Devices of War group.

Would you rather just chit chat? Go ahead. I like that, too.

My youngest is 12 and will be 13 next month, so I'm writing it with her in mind. Each scene I write, I'm like, "Is this something I'd feel okay about having her read?" If the answer's no, it get scrubbed. So, hopefully, no worries.

Definitely! I just don't see that this series will ever need graphic sex. Now, the violence might get a bit more graphic, but I want to keep it to a point where my youngest daughter could pick up the books and read them if she wanted. Now, granted, she's going to have a few questions.

Also, I think that too many books go for the "shock factor". What that means is that nothing's shocking anymore. *shrug* Yes. Bad things happen, but I want people to feel the effects in their heart.

Want a sneak peek? I might be willing to tease?

Did something happen in the book that just didn't make sense? It's sometimes easy to miss stuff. Feel free to ask anything plot-wise here!

Do you have questions about this world (Illona)? Ask them here!

Do you have any questions about any of the characters? Each one has a full history, most of which never made it into the book. If you have a character you liked and want to know more about, here's the place to ask about them!
