I must say though that one of the things - apart from the writing and world building - that I love is the fact that the focus is usually one character, or perhaps a set of characters over several books, as in the Collegia Magica.<br /><br /> I've grown very tried of the current trend in sci-fi/fantasy of having as many characters as there are chapters. Most authors really can't pull it off, and the reader is left feeling that by creating a jigsaw puzzle of a novel, the author took the lazy way out of doing any character development.<br /><br />That said, I know I'll enjoy whatever you write, but still... In any event, I look forward to your next book as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-4061483395489785542016-04-14T08:22:47.880-06:002016-04-14T08:22:47.880-06:00Most ironic, Carol!

Research and Development doesn't always lead to a viable project.<br /><br />And yes, Kimberly, it surprised the heck out of me when the guy I had created to be Aleksander's storyteller turned out to be the heart of the story. And it didn't take long to figure it out. I think he possessed me - which is ironic, yes?carolwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256696323017219424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-3464231597501615192016-04-09T09:08:48.548-06:002016-04-09T09:08:48.548-06:00More Carol books, yay!

I am especially intrigued at how Transformation didn't initially start out with Seyonne, he hid from you for a while behind the blinding light of Aleksander. I do love that book. I am greatly looking forward to reading your new story in Pulp Literature, and am anxious to hear what this big new project is! I need to brush up on my remembrance of Saverian for the upcoming story as well! Thank you as always for giving us great worlds to delve into and character to carry us though, care about, despise, and feel right along with.Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-48445083891995959542016-04-08T10:54:23.597-06:002016-04-08T10:54:23.597-06:00So do I!So do I!carolwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256696323017219424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757509958916289741.post-21751227542756497272016-04-08T10:02:55.191-06:002016-04-08T10:02:55.191-06:00Thank you.
