Hey Miss T!! Few questions ;D 1. How can you be so awesome and write so fantastically?  2. What inspired you to write that awesome book that I love to death "DarkBane"? 3. Do you ever use Latin to help form your names? (I do  ) 4. This topic is in the right place, right? (haha  ) 5. Was "Chosen Four" your first completed book? Thanks! |

1. I really don't know... 2. A love of stories, adventure, medieval worlds, cats, horses, swords, Princes, etc. I love the idea of Human-Animal companionship. It's also a bit personal fantasy... but always, always wrapped around a point, a purpose, a premise that has important lessons on a very deep level. 3. Always! It's a prime inspiration! The names of the Four in Chosen Four were VERY dependent on it, and to a great extent, the Maghíra's names also. You can seen it most plainly in the name Lunásen for the Sky-Panther of DarkBane. 4. Of course it is! 5. Yes, it was my very first. Which is precisely why it needs re-done. Professionals will tell you (wish they'd told me) not to print your first attempt. No problem, Bluey! |

Oh one more question:
Did you ever try sending Chosen Four to any agents or publishers?

Well, yes. In it's very bad stage, I sent it to Tate Publishing and they (rightly) rejected it. I'd have gotten nowhere going traditional--and maybe that would have been better. *shrugs* But I never sent it to any agents... thank God. The manifold rejections I would have gotten would have shattered my psyche, I think.

That's why they say to get serious with the second. You're supposed to put the first one under the bed until you've waited a few years and will be qualified to revise it |

Yes I did put it under my bed, but the problem was, I found it again. :lol: |
