I just finished Mount Char and I really liked it a lot. Like, a lot a lot! I'm a regular librarian so I liked it on multiple levels. I was wondering if you could clarify what some of the kids' catalogs were. I got a good sense of Carolyn, Jennifer, David, Michael, Margaret and Peter (kind of), but what about the rest?

Hi Carey,
As it happens, I have a list! When I was working on the book I had some trouble keeping up with them myself. As you saw, there were a lot of librarians who didn't get a lot of screen time. I'm also straight-up TERRIBLE with names. So when I was putting all the little scraps together into a first draft, there was some confusion.
* Anyway, here's the list from my blog.
* I also did a description of all twelve librarians for Suvudu. This one's got little anecdotes about the librarians, especially the ones who didn't get much screen time.

Dear Scott,
Before my question, I'd like you to know that I'm very grateful that you answer questions. You already answered some questions related to mine, but what were your inspirations for Ablakha and his story? So the world is in it's 4th age in the story, so I'm curious to know what inspired you to say that. Who are the Emperor, Duke, and the rest of Father's enemies? I'm bursting at the seams with questions!

Just a Comment? I absolutely enjoyed The Library at Mount Char, I think a sequel might be interesting but it is also a well written stand alone book. More then anything I am eager to see what other imaginings you will write. I am an excited fan and will purchase what ever your next book will be based on my opinion of this book.
