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.

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, I feel like this is kind of a dumb question, but I couldn't find out anywhere else, so I thought you might be able to help. Do you know what to call those symbols (which vary from book to book) that are placed between irrelevant paragraphs? Like when it's too soon to be a different chapter, but it's a change in the flow. Thanks in advance and it's okay if you've no idea what I'm talking about. I probably wouldn't.
