Pamela J. (Fantasy Book Nook) asked Elise Kova:

Hi, Elise- another couple of questions :) 1) Where did you come up with the character names? They're really unique and I'm just curious about the origin. 2) In the books Vhalla is said to have dark brown hair but in the coverart it's light brown/blonde? 3) Do you ever go to anything like Geekycon or do appearances? I'd love to know how to get signed copies :)

Elise Kova Hey there Leigh! Great to hear from you again!

The answers to questions 1 & 2 can be found on the FAQ of my author site! You can read those answers and more here: http://elisekova.com/about/

Question three though doesn't have a nice neat answer anywhere so I'd be happy to take the time to answer it! I LOVE (all caps) geek conventions. They're in my blood. I cosplayed through college and am an avid video game player and anime watcher. So YES I will be going to more conventions in the future... But I don't know which ones yet. I hope to have more to announce as far as appearances in the coming weeks.

If you want to request me to show up somewhere I'm letting readers help dictate any touring I do with a submission form on my website: http://elisekova.com/book-tour/

Also, never underestimate the power of requests. If there's a local con you want me to attend requesting me (and having your friends, family, book club, whoever else is interested, do the same) as a featured guest to the con's organizers really helps.

All that being said, I do sell signed copies of my books on my website: http://elisekova.com/shop/
Unfortunately, it is very expensive to ship overseas, so I have to make sad faces at the shipping costs at the post office on behalf of all my overseas readers.

Hope those answers help!
