Hi, Claire! I'm soooooooo delighted that you've enjoyed the books! :)
Regarding your question, all of the cryptids in the books are "real." You can go online and read about the legends, shared personal encounters, and with Skyfish, you can even see videos people have taken that they claim are Skyfish in action. When I learned how many cryptids there are, I couldn't resist incorporating them into the story. Because what if this isn't fiction at all, and the Rampart is real? Huh? What about that??? ;)

Hi, Yusuf!
You are so welcome! I was so delighted to meet you and Maryam in SLC.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the book so far. Which one are you reading? The League of Governors or The Clan Calling? (Your names are in both of them.)
Thanks for the note!

Hi Yusuf! So nice to hear from you!
Yes, one of your relatives can acquire the books and ship them to you. Or I think Amazon also does international shipping. If you are unable to order the books directly form Amazon in Qatar, a relative could maybe order the books from the US Amazon and ask that Amazon ship them to you. Not 100% certain that would work, but it might.
And once you do receive the books, be sure to read the Acknowledgments at the end... :)
Hope you are enjoying living in Qatar. Please say hello to your sister for me.

It's wonderful for kids! And grown-ups who like fun reads as well. Have you read The Rampart Guards?

Hi, Yahya -
How many brothers and sisters do you have? I enjoyed meeting Yusuf and Maryam last summer.

Hi Maryam!
The next two books will be out this summer. It's very likely we'll have another book signing event but we don't have it planned yet since we don't know the exact date. I hope you'll be able to come. It would be fun to see you again!
Thanks for the question. :)

Hi, Yusuf! Nice to hear from you! I remember you well from my book signing.
Regarding your question, there are lots of designers who do book covers. The cover of The Rampart Guards was done by a person named Steven Novak, and you can see some of his work on his website: http://www.novakillustration.com/book...
You can also google "premade book covers" and you'll find sites with already made book covers that cost less than having someone design one specifically for your book. You won't get something as unique, but it saves money.
Hope that helps! Good luck with your writing!

Hi, Maryam!
Thank you so much for coming to the book signing. And your brother's Bigfoot video was amazing! I'm so happy you both came, and I hope the picture we took together turned out great.
Thanks, too, for letting me know you liked The Rampart Guards--you just made my day. :) And yes, the book is also for adults, and lots of adults have told me they really enjoyed it, too.
Do you have a favorite character in The Rampart Guards?
I'm pretty busy working on the next two books in the series--one for Jason, and Sadie is getting her own book as well. They'll both be out in 2017 and I really hope you like them.
Keep an eye out for Skyfish! ;)
