Who I'd like to meet: Readers, writers, librarians, editors, publishers, agents, critics, storytellers, indifferent housekeepers, lovers of books and the written word.
You have surely heard about the tragic death of a brave young woman who was murdered in Iran just for peacefully protesting with her father on the streets of Teheran.
Yea most definitely, really looking forward to the new series. I couldn't even out the heir trilogy down, read them one after the other they were amazingly good
o i didnt say that i didnt like it, but wut was the deal with the wizerd fingers? u never explained that. im trying to become a writer myself. im on the 3rd chapter of it right now. its called in the hands of one. il be posting the first chapter on my myspace soon. i want u to know that you are one of the very few writers that inspired me to write this book. u made it easir for me to think. i love your books and im sory if wut i said offended u. im very open with my opinions.
Thanks for double-space advice. I had just printed out my manuscript when I heard that rule somewhere. I'm currently looking for an agent. I'm so nervous. :)
I would like to thank you for all the advice you've given me. It has helped an extraordinary amount.
yes mam i am out in twilight country!!!! but my friends and i ABSULUTELY LOVE YOUR HEIR TRILOGY!!!!! we hope you come out with another book in that series!!!! i was the first to read then out of my friends...i read them last year in like a week.my libarian had gone to some convention and had gotten dragon heir early and i was the first to read it!!
In The Dragon Heir, you said that your editor made you rewrite the whole book. I was wondering: What is one major difference between the first draft and the final book?
Hey Cinda!
I've been pretty busy this week, but I got a copy of The Demon King and started it! It's very good so far and great start to it. Steaming, right from the get-go, on those hot stones!
I just have to say, you writing another book (or more!) in the Heir series would rock my life. Also, i noticed that on your website, you said The Dragon Heir was the last in the trilogy "(for now)"... I seriously hope you consider writting at least one more. Your work is better than everything I've read in a long time, and I look forward to reading your new book coming out later this year. Sincerely, Torsten N. Ward
