Question, why did the Sky Fall series covers change? I kinda liked the old ones. Lol, i literally just noticed that the entire series covers were different from looking at your blog.
Shannon Messenger
They're changing this year, leading up to the release of book 3 (though I shared the new covers last year, can't remember exactly when but I feel like it was sometime around the summer.)
And I know cover changes always get a mixed reaction (for everyone saying "aw, I like the old ones better" I'm getting a ton saying "the new ones match the feel of the books so much better!") Personally, while I love both, I do actually agree with the people who think the new ones are a better match. For me, the story has always been a WIND WAR where characters fall in love in the midst of it, rather than a LOVE STORY that happens to have wind elementals.
But either way, the decision to change the covers was made by my publisher, because of the way the market has shifted, and all I could really do was hope I loved the new ones. Thank goodness I do. :)

Hi! You're one of my favorite authors and I actually got to meet you in Texas. (That made me so happy :) ) I was wondering if you may ever come out to somewhere international (singapore!). Also if you could choose one character out of Biana Keefe Dex Fitz Sophie Tam Linh and Marella to be real who would you choose?

How many Keeper books do you think there will be? And, sorry to keep asking questions (I just love your books so much!), but what is the chance of a movie of it? (High, maybe, low)? I understand that you're waiting for the 'right' movie makers. *Gasps* has Disney ever contacted you yet? (And I say YET because I believe there is a good chance!)

Hi Mrs. Messenger! I read some answers below and I saw the one about a short story from Fitz's point of view. I know you said it would confuse us because it was very different, but could you PLEASE write a new and improved short story from Fitz's point of view? Hopefully one that either depicts Sophitz meeting! Thank you so much for taking your time and answering our questions! How is Lodestar going?
