Kaitlin Lewis asked Chris Platt:

Who would you consider to be like a foster mare or mother for Moon Shadow Celah or Star? Also when I read Callie and Justin there seem like a budding romance between them and how Old is Justin?

Chris Platt Wow, I can't believe I'm 46 days behind in answering this question. I'm sorry, Kaitlin. Ok, now for the question/answer... I see Celah, Star, and Callie, as the foster mother for Moon Shadow. Callie has to do a lot of care-taking on the orphaned foal, and the older mares take the new baby in and watch over her. I've got a new paint colt that was born March 31st. He's bugging my poor mares to death because he wants to play. I'm always amazed that they tolerate his behavior. They could kick him, but they don't. They just turn their butts and give him a warning. It's been a long time since I wrote this book, but I think I had Justin as being 13 or 14. He's actually patterned off of my real nephew, whose name is Justin. I used his older brother, Jason, in Willow King, so I wanted to give Justin a place in a book, too.

Well, we ever get a follow up on Moon Shadow? and I really wish we could have seen the Horses pov in the story as well. I love how Celah is like a mother to Moon Shadow.

Kathryn Rollins asked Chris Platt:

Hi there! I'm a 6th grade teacher in Cleveland, TN and we are currently out of school indefinitely because of the Coronavirus. I had an idea to host a daily video chat session where I would read a book for 20 minutes to those students who would wish to join. I have LOVED "Willow King" since I was in the third grade, and thought it would be a great book to read to them online! Would that be okay with you, the author?
