Hello!!! So, I was quite in love with your Sun and Moon series; it was absolutely phenomenal and the characters were amazing. I also loved how you wrote that one scene, the one in the second book when Doyati and Genna reunited!! I was always curious to see how it would all work out.
Hopefully that’s what you’ll reopen, but good luck with anything else and best wishes!! 🙂-
Yes. That one is coming back.
At this point I’m figuring out how to do a provisional wrap-up of the series with Emerald Sun, and if I can make enough money from indie-pubbing that to keep my bills paid while I do it, write the other four.

Oh my gosh, that’s great!!
Have a nice day 🙂

the world that Fire Mist was set in – want to know more about the feline with hands and a penchant for matches – please.

Actually, anything you write. But what I would love to see the most is some articles about mind of writers, and confusions and agony of them.

I was just introduced to your Moon and Sun books recently and am almost done The Silver Door. After reading The Ruby Key I went to see what comes next and was sad to see that though you had planned seven books only one more would be forthcoming. I am sure all seven would have been great but I look forward to number three and am happy to see there are a lot more of your worlds that I can discover. I’m 32 so don’t really fit the young adult category so am glad your books were recommended to me.

Holly, my 12-year-old daughter and I both vote for a sequel to Ruby Key. It’s a marvelous series with appeal for both adult and young adult (even middle aged child) readers. We’ve been left on the hook, waiting for your wonderful deft touch with the tensions both romantic and murderous you lay out over the first and second books. Please, please, work up that sequel! We’d buy all remaining five in the series if you wrote them, but understand the pressures of health and wellness that mean you’ve had to curtail your vision. We plead with you, let us know what happens to Doyati and Genna – don’t let the Green Goddess ruin our happy ending!

Holly, I’m the underage girl who been through living hell and who you told not to go near people with holy water. {and trust me I am!! :)} While all your books helped my escape into different world and made me feel not so alone. The series that I would love to see come back is the series with Fire in the Mist,Bones of the Past, and Mind of the Magic because I can still remember my mom reading them to me while I took a bath or when I was afraid to sleep. They were also the first books that I read all by my self. {a fact I’m proud of} So I would very much like to see this series back but at the same time I would like you to know that no matter what you will always have me as a devoted fan of your work. 😀

There is a book that haunted me long after I read it and that is Fire in the Mist. But, in all honesty, I’m likely to read anything you publish. 🙂 I know whatever you put on paper is going to be damn good.
P.S. I know I’m late to the party and that you are working Cady now…but whatever happened to Dreaming the Dead? Heard so much about it when I first started HTTS and I don’t quite remember why it was put on hold. I’m sure the answer is right under my nose!

I just finished your book “The Silver Door” and I was left hanging!
Do Catri and Genna ever become friends again? Doe Genna Doyati ever fulfill her positions of Sunrider and Moonspinner? If she does succeed in turning the Moon roads into reality what will become of the world and how will it change existence? I am desperate to know! I have just discovered your works and I plan to read the rest ASAP, but in the mean time I would be thrilled if you chose to complete the Moon and Sun series.
Thanks!
Your Reader -
I read a little bit of Last Girl Dancing online and thought it was really good! I haven’t read any of the other choices, but I really think Last Girl Dancing and other paranormal suspense is something you should revisit.
-
The very first book of yours I read was “Sympathy for the Devil.”
For a very slim book it was very layered and aspects still make me think. It swings from light humor to dark nastiness. Loved your version of God. Would like to know how the completion of the amusement park would of affected things. -
I have recently completed “The Silver Door” (Moon and Sun series) with my mom and can’t wait to read the next book. We like the series and it would be sad if it were to end at “The Silver Door”. We hope that you write the conclusion to the story line.
PS. Can you recommend another of your series for us to read? I’m a junior reader.

I love and have many of your books from older and newer times. But I just re-read “A Bards Tale – Wrath of the Prince” (which took me straight to your website to see if there was a following sequel) and I would love to know what happened to Shallia and the others who where stranded on the Islands. Or what happened next to Kin and Halleyne…
So this is my choice… 🙂
But no matter what you write or which series you choose…just keep writing – I love to read your books…-
The Bard’s Tale books were packaged (by this read I was broke, desperate for work, and took what was offered). Bill Fawcett owns the rights, and while I did the worldbuilding and Aaron Allston and I did the writing, I have no rights to those characters, to that world, or to the stories.
Bill could have someone else go in and write them. But I can’t without once again creating work to which I own no rights. And I won’t do that anymore.

I love your Sun and Moon series. What I loved about it the most was that, in addition to a tightly paced, exciting story, you also were sewing the seeds for readers to question the world they lived in, to question the media and the way events can be portrayed to suit the reporter. Your stories were great reads, they transcended the message, which is important. But there was the thought too, left percolating in the brain long after the story was read, that maybe there was more than one side to every event.
Good writing transcends the message (otherwise why read the story) but it’s important to model and suggest behaviour that may not be initially obvious. I like your books because the suggestion for independent thinking is there without me feeling I’m being preached to. These are the works I choose to read aloud to children and other people that like to be read to.
Thanks; I’ve read lots of your titles but the Sun and the Moon have grabbed me the most.-
I love your Sun and Moon series~ <3

Hi
I’ve not actually read any of your books but would like to. Having read through the comments I’m leaning towards Hawkspar, I love high fantasy and that although not high does seem to be along those lines.
At the risk of having found the wrong discussion board to ask on, it seemed appropriate to me, I was wondering which of your books you’d recommend as a first read that I’d be able to buy in the UK?
Sorry if I’ve asked in the wrong place -
I confess to voting twice — once for myself, once for my wife. My own vote for “Arhel” was simple: I saw it first and so like it best.
My wife’s vote for “other” was because she felt that Minerva Wakes could continue. -
First, an admission: I haven’t read all of your works. *Sighs* I am, however, in the middle of fixing this problem. I voted for Korre for several reasons:
1) Hawkspar was the first book of yours I read.
2) I think that world has so much more that you can pull from it. Half of the map hasn’t even been touched yet.
3) It’s a reasonably recent series, so logically (which, I know, doesn’t have much connection with writing) it should be easier to continue this one.
4) Didn’t I see something about how you planned three books in this series initially?(Sorry. This comment got longer than I planned. Ah, well.)
-
I’ve always been greatly intrigued by everything I’ve seen for Dreaming the Dead. The setting, characters, and ‘gimme’ have been captivating – through all of the iterations you’ve posted about.
-
I have truly enjoyed all your books that I’ve read. And I’ve read at least the first one or two in each series you have listed.
But my vote went to Cadence Drake because it’s the most unfinished of all the series. And whole scenes are still stuck in my head. (Although I can say that for any of your books.)
I would happily read anything, in any of the poll options, that you chose to write. And I have no doubt that the best parts of that future story will stick with me, just as previous ones have. So write what you want, I’ll read it with confidence that it will mean something important to me.
-
I didn’t vote twice, but I did come back to comment again; I hope that’s okay. As usual, once I posted my comment, something else I wanted to suggest occurred to me.
I do understand it is more difficult to offer print books than e-books, but I do hope – desperately – that you will be making your work available in print whenever that is feasible. I love books, the physical, printed object, and a vision problem means e-readers are a strain on me. As for text-to-speech, if I ever have no other choice, I’ll be glad to have it. But I’m also autistic and find printed words much easier to process than spoken ones.
I understand I’m probably unique. But I do wonder if there may not be others out there who, even if their reasons are different from my own, would still prefer a printed copy. I certainly can’t guarantee making print-on-demand hard copies available would be worth your while, but I do think the idea is at least worth your consideration.

I voted for Korre – the Tonk are a breath of fresh air. I do have to confess, I don’t know as much as I’d like about many of your series, “thanks” to the difficulty of finding many of your books. I only discovered you a few years ago. But the world needs what the Tonk represent; that idea needs to be out there.
Having said, that, I must confess that I’d also love to read Dreaming the Dead, after everything you’ve said about it.
-
I’d love to see you finish “Dreaming the Dead”. It sounded like a fascinating story that you were really engrossed in, and that I’d love to read!

The universe I would like your exploration on is ours. Your podcast is inspirational. Through the toughest times I remember we are the ancestors of the “lucky as shit” surviors. Thanks for that.
