Abigail Murphy asked Melanie Dickerson:

What type of books do you like to read? Does your friends and family read/know about your books? Also I really like your books. :)

Melanie Dickerson Thanks, Sharon! My two daughters, who are in their teens, enjoy reading my books. So does my mother and some of my friends and extended family. Most of them are very supportive and like to tell others about my books, which is nice. :-)
I was an avid fiction reader as a kid and loved the classics. As an adult I have re-read some of my favorites like all Jane Austen's books and Jane Eyre. But lately I seem to have a mental block on fiction, for some reason. I'm mostly reading nonfiction right now. But I love a good historical romance, something that surprises me and has a heroic hero and heroine. :-)

Addy Smith asked Melanie Dickerson:

I adore your works, and wondered how you choose your characters names! Also, what about country/city names that are fictional? I always have a hard time finding ones that are unique and not taken. Thanks!

Tori Young asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi! I love your books they are amazing!!! Anyway, I know that you have said that the Medieval Fairy Tale series and Hagenheim series are, in fact, not related, but I was recently rereading The Golden Braid, and Gerek mentions Thornbeck multiple times. Is this the same Thornbeck from the Medieval series? Or just a coincidence?
