Haha been off in Harry Potter Land ;) I've got lots of catching up to do!"


AWESOME! I've been to Harry Potter World in Florida, and it was SOOOOOO much fun.

I was wondering when someone who was team Chris would pop up :D

Hi Karim!
I also like Twilight. Yes, it has its flaws, but I found it really entertaining. It was actually the first YA book I read as an adult, and it was what got me into reading more YA. Which turned into writing YA. So in a way, Twilight is responsible for the existence of Stolen Songbird :)

WOW! That is a huge amount of dedication to a series of books to learn a language in order to keep reading them. I'm very impressed! And it's so wonderful to hear about people discovering books through blogs. The book blogging community is awesome, and it is a great way to get recommendations.

I am also enormously influenced by the covers of books. Titles, too. If they don't entice me, then it requires a lot of people talking about the book before I'll pick it up.

Hi Irena!
I'll be keeping each thread open for a week, so don't feel like you need to answer the questions right away :)

Hi Jen!

So glad you enjoyed the chemistry between Cecile and Tristan! When I'm reading a novel with a big romance component, the chemistry or spark between the characters is usually what makes it or breaks it for me. I'm also a big fan of romances that have a rocky start, because I'm always keen to read what will cause them to overcome the obstacles.

So does that mean you're also a Prince Ash fan?

Hi Lena! Have you also read Six of Crows? It's in my stack of books, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Sherry wrote: "I'm #TeamMarc, their is something very special about Marc. I like him immediately, & he really cares for Cecile and best friend Tristan."

Hi Sherry! Yay for #TeamMarc :D

Hi Bluey! Boring is certainly never good!

I'm the opposite - I usually like the first books in series the best, especially when I'm reading them as they are published. I think that anticipation creates really high expectations that are tough to meet, so I know a second book is REALLY good when I like it better than the first.

So glad you all enjoyed it! Guess I should keep writing new scenes to use as my extras :)

I HAVE seen it. I think Fantasious posted something on Facebook about the opera house that inspired it :)

Erika (The Nocturnal Fey) wrote: "1. #TeamTristan all the way! I like Marc too, and to be honest, when he first appeared, I thought he's the main lover. Haha. But, just can't Tristan, really. Heh"

Hi Erika! I know Aldrik from Air Awakens is your one true love, but I'm glad you love Tristan, too ;-)

I'm noticing that a lot of people are hoping for a happy ending :D

I just clicked on your profile and I see that Tristan is one of your interests, so he must have REALLY won you over in the end!! ;-)

Middle Earth is sort of the benchmark for world-building, in my opinion. My dad read me The Hobbit when I was a little kid, so that world has always had a special place in my heart <3

MY PLEASURE! I love interacting with readers :)

Nicole wrote: "1. I am #teamtristan. To be honest, as much as I love Mark, it never crossed my mind that he could have been Cécile's love interest.

Hi Nicole!
I love that you sing opera - that's so cool. I have no vocal talent, so I'm always impressed by people who do.
What a wonderful story for how you discovered Harry Potter. That series made such a huge impact on so many people. JK Rowling is the Queen!

Hi Aditi,

The voice actor on the audio book is Eric Michael Summerer, and the woman who reads for Cecile is Erin Moon. They did an awesome job!
