Congrats to Jennifer (age 10) and Carolyn (age 12) who have contributed names and ideas for two fairy characters in Scroll 2. Jennifer has named Farell, head of the Healer Guild. Carolyn created Ramon, who will be a high tier Guardian.

Both young ladies gave me strong descriptions of the characters’ appearances and will be “meeting” their characters when Scroll 2 comes out in 2009.

After reading Crossover, if you have an idea for a character, send me the name, description, and what role you think they might play as the story continues into Scroll 2 and Scroll 3.

I look forward to hearing from you!

FaerieWorlds in Eugene Oregon was a great place to be. Not only did we get to meet a lot of enthusiastic readers, but the costumes some attendees had created were simply breathtaking. Beautiful workmanship and creativity - literally fairy eye candy. Here I am at our booth meeting with new readers.

The high point for us was the reader who purchased the book Friday, had his wife drive them back to Portland while he read the book, and specifically returned to our booth Saturday to tell us how impressed he was and he considered the writing in the same league as Marion Zimmer Bradley. What an honor! You can see that guests really “got into” the costumes. All were home made.

We’re already gearing up for Faierie Con in Philadelphia in less than 2 months, and hope to meet even more people who enjoy the realm of fantasy! This woman’s costume was stunning - the wings alone took her weeks of work.
