Will Hulme asked Kendare Blake:

What is the most amount of king-consorts a Fennbirn queen has had in the island's known history? (assuming if the king-consort dies the queen crowned is able to remarry, which has made me wonder if Fennbirn had it's own Henry VIII-esque queen!)

Kendare Blake Hi Will! Actually, there has never been a Henry VIII-esque Queen Crowned, but a Henry VIII-esque YA queen sounds fabulous, so if anyone can figure out how to write that please do and I will EAT IT UP.

There have been unlucky Queens whose King-consorts have passed away, (and of course, it's common for suitors to drop like flies), but the number has been few. They are largely thought to be protected by the Goddess much as the queens are. Maybe someday I'll get to write about one of them. Who knows?

Katy asked Kendare Blake:

Hello! I wanted to ask how you were able and where you found the line between horror and romance? Of course blood and gore too! In Anna Dressed in Blood you wrote everything so in sync. There wasn't anything too mushy gushy, the romance wasn't horribly forced and you(fans) still loved the characters and wanted them to be together without cliche. Also as someone who is wanting to write horror/romance, any advice?

A Goodreads user

A Goodreads user asked Kendare Blake:

I know you're adopted from Korea, and I think that's really cool. I myself am adopted from China. Would you ever write a main character who is adopted from East Asia? It's very rare for me to see developed East Asian characters in American popular culture, especially as a protagonist. It's almost unheard of for an internationally adopted Asian one. So is that something you'd ever do in one of your Y/A series? Thanks!

Emma asked Kendare Blake:

Hi! I was at BookCon 2018 and I saw you walking through one the signing room! You were a couple feet away from me, and I kind of froze and stopped breathing for a minute there! Anyways, I was wondering if you had any advice for a young, aspiring author?
