Bt asked Sherwood Smith:

Crown Duel is one of my favorite books! I know the new editions are "re-edited" and there seems to be a lot of re-wording and re-phrasing. Why was that done and what was the impetus behind the re-editing? Were you aiming to change the tone or feel of the text? Were other, bigger changes made? I've read (and reread) the old Firebird edition and loved it and never noticed any issues, so I'm very curious. Thanks so much!

Sherwood Smith The rewording and rephrasing was for clarity, and correction of a few grammar issues, as well as fixing typos. There was also a section in which my dyslexia had managed to switch east and west, north and south, and all that had to be smoothed out.

Thank you for your question, and I'm so glad you still enjoy reading it!

Is there a way for me to sign up for updates regarding your books? (I know you’re on GoodReads as a reader). I was at the bookstore today ready to preorder A Sword Named Truth until they told me it would be out in June :( Thank you!

Anna001 asked Sherwood Smith:

Dear Ms Smith, I loved Crown Duel/The Trouble With Kings, and was wondering if you were planning to write any more stuff like that? (i.e. same world, political intrigue, romance) Also, despite having read your chart, I'm still confused about the books in Sartorias-deles...which ones are young adult? Finally, is there a map of the Sartorias-deles world? I would very much like to see it if it exists! Thanks (:
