Normally I read murder/ mystery but a friend told me that your book was hard to put down. So...I bought it. My friend was right. I couldn't read it fast enough. I can't wait to buy the next book in the trilogy.Joe Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-67305719820226931762009-05-12T17:58:00.000-04:002009-05-12T17:58:00.000-04:00Jane, the turtle will totally dance!

Then there is a prequel (already working on it) and a "sequel" that Nigel is writing. Then there are a couple stand-alone books that take place in the land of Onweald that will include characters from the novels because, as Mags will tell you, these characters force their stories on us sometimes. The chapbooks will be stocked with short stories, recipes, poems, riddles, deleted scenes, and whatever else I can throw in them from the novels. So far, there's only one chapbook available: What Choices We Made (vol. 1), but another one is in the works right now.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in here today, Jenny!<br />And it's good to see you here, Mags!<br />Sandy Lender<br /><I>"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."</I>Sandy Lendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-46513872109604036472009-05-12T11:38:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:38:00.000-04:00Great Trailer!

It's a part of who we are as much as the characters we write about. Thanks for sharing that tidbit.<br /><br />Hope you're well, and I look forward to reading The Choices We Made.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MagsMargaret Poffenbergernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-30720890821012203872009-05-12T11:10:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:10:00.000-04:00Dave, is that a polite way of saying I've always b...Dave, is that a polite way of saying I've always been "off"? :)<br />Thank you!<br />Sandy Lender<br /><I>"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."</I>Sandy Lendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-34367224657168556882009-05-12T11:07:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:07:00.000-04:00Tammy G, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the firs...Tammy G, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the first book!! Woo-hoo!! Yes, there will be more in the series. The second novel, Choices Meant for Kings, is due out from ArcheBooks Publishing as soon as the publishing schedule stops giving us fits. That could be next month...or the month after. I should have a contest to see who can guess the release date!<br /><br />What Choices We Made has more romantic bits in it, which surprised me - and there's a deleted scene from Choices Meant for Gods between Nigel and Chariss that just wouldn't work for the first novel. If you like seeing those two together...well...<br /><br />:)<br />Sandy Lender<br /><I>"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."</I>Sandy Lendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-40729608576186224502009-05-12T11:03:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:03:00.000-04:00Jerry B, I'm a fantasy author with some romance th...Jerry B, I'm a fantasy author with some romance thrown in...but I've been told that's just my opinion. There are those who focus on the sweet romance between Nigel and Chariss like it's the only plotline that matters. (And maybe it is...mwuahaahahahaha.) You can check out Nigel's blog at http://sandylender.blogspot.com to hear him rave about Chariss at times (and make fun of me at other times).<br /><br />And I'll tell you, this world came about because it was filling my head to capacity!<br /><br />So glad you stopped by today!<br />Sandy Lender<br /><I>"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."</I>Sandy Lendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-79007536643029475692009-05-12T10:22:00.001-04:002009-05-12T10:22:00.001-04:00Hey Sandy!

Is it a romance with fantasy or a fantasy with some romance? <br /><br />I'm always very interested in how fantasy authors come up with their worlds - how did yours come about?<br /><br />Jerry BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-91576277893516868732009-05-12T09:03:00.000-04:002009-05-12T09:03:00.000-04:00Criminy, DeNita, you've got me laughing, too.

And then you sit there in a stupor with a throbbing nose thinking your engine's on fire because of all the powder they pack into the thing. One of my first thoughts was, "How long do I have before this thing blows up?"<br /><br />Funny point: the most severe car accident I've ever been in was the day after my wedding, on the way to the honeymoon.<br />A harbinger of doom, perhaps???

So good to have you here and I have to say I laughed when I read your article... because it is sooo true.<br /><br />I was at a workshop with Max Allan Collins who wrote the graphic novel Road to Perdition and he said he was in a car accident and as it was happening he remember thinking, "well, if I survive I'll know exactly how to write a car accident."<br /><br />Great trailer for the new book, btw! Loved it.<br /><br />Thanks for being our guest and enjoy your day here at the hut!AuthorIsland.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151952081726758554noreply@blogger.com
