Hello, Ms. Nielsen, I love your books and have been avidly reading and rereading them for the past 7 years! I just wanted to ask if you'd ever read The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (and what do you think of it?), because the main character is very much like Sage, and some of the other characters are reminiscent of the ones in The Ascendance Series.

I have read THE THIEF by Megan Whalen Turner and I think it's brilliant. I get that there are some similarities, but I also think there are some significant differences between the characters as well. Thanks for asking!

Hi, I work at Coonley Elementary School and I just wanted to say thank you for coming and speaking to the students. They couldn't stop talking about it all day and I feel like you may have inspired a new generation of writers. I really loved your answer to the question of how you come up with your ideas. I never thought about how something so simple could be turned into such an elaborate and fantastic story! ?

The book I've read the most is definitely The Traitor's Game, and half the reason is that Antora is a fabulous world. How did you come up with it, and what was your world building process? (I'm trying to wrote a story based in the sky, and I'd be thrilled if it turned out half as good as your worlds!) I LOVE your writing. Can't wait for The Shattered Castle and Black Ink!

Jennifer A. Nielsen:
I have a book idea for you. I’m wondering if you could use it in a new book? So you should start with the character as a young boy who wants to learn to fight with a sword. I want there to be a little romance in it. But not too much to make it inappropriate. It would be cool if you could make it a little bit similar to the rangers apprentice book series.
