Not a question but comment? I am into book 3 of your Pandor series. I suppose these are for young adults so maybe that means I am still young at heart. I am turning 70 in October, I am a Marine combat vet from the Vietnam era and I absolutely love these books. In fact, I have convinced my wife to begin reading them. I am sure she will love them, too. You have done your homework and paid attention to detail. Well done

Barbara Kloss That makes my day... thank you! I like to think there's something for everyone in the Pandoran series--which is the beauty of so much YA fiction. So glad you're enjoying them!

Also, thank you for your service!

This is going to sound really weird, but are you by any chance a fan of the A Couple Cooks blog? Just because of the names - Sonya and Alex

Barbara Kloss No! I've never even heard of it... So OF COURSE I had to investigate. Funny! And thank you, because now I just found more recipes... ;)

Is 'box of the Pandor's' a deliberate reference to Pandora's box from Greek mythology, or was it an accident? I suppose the underlying question to that is how far along (if at all) did you plan the series?

Barbara Kloss Both great questions!

The tie to Greek wasn't an accident for ME (as the writer). Cicero mentioned in book 1 that the Greek mythology was a coincidental distraction from the truth. He believed that rumors about the Pandor family leaked through the portal system, and the very stalwart Aegises at the time covered it up by creating the Greek myth. ;)

As far as planning the series, I had a general plan and ending in mind, though as each book unfolded, that plan morphed. So it ended up being a very "fluid" plan. Hope that answers your questions, but if it doesn't, feel free to ask for clarification!
