Hi! I wanted to let you know that me and my friends absolutely LOVE your Guardian Herd series! I have loved writing since I was little, and I am currently writing one. Any advice? I have to say my favorite character in the book is Dewberry, (she reminds me of me! Haha! ) Out of all 4 books in the series, which was the most fun to write? Thank you!!!! ~Sydney

Dear Sydney,
Hi there and thanks for writing me! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your friends are enjoying the books (and I love Dewberry too). To answer your question, each book was quite different.
#1 STARFIRE was exciting and I cried a lot during the sad parts. But overall, it was like the book wrote me! #2 STORMBOUND was the most difficult to plot. #3 LANDFALL was a blast to write. I loved exploring new places in Anok and writing about the fighting techniques of the other herds. #4 WINDBORN was intense. I had to bring all the plot threads of the series together and write a big finale. I guess I felt some pressure there.
But I love how each book turned out, and I'm thrilled that I'm continuing the series with some new adventures starting in Fall of 2017. Stay tuned for The Guardian Herd: Dark Water Trials, Book #1 PROMISE KEEPER. I hope you enjoy the new trilogy. All my best, Jennifer

Hi, I have a few questions about writing: 1. How do you deal with Writers' Block, 2. How do you weed out all the junk in your story to make it as great as it can be, and 3. How do you stay motivated? I'm currently writing a book right now, and since you're one of my most favorite authors I was hoping I could get some advice from you. :)
