I see that you have a book titled "A Dark Joy." Can it be in true such a thing? Joy is happiness. How come it could be dark?
Christine Feehan It's actually titled Dark Joy. Just like Dark Celebration, it could mean a lot of things. On January 6th you can read the book and find out!

I have a few questions, sorry, lol. What is your favorite part about writing a story? Do you write daily, or just when inspiration strikes? What gives you inspiration? What advice would you give someone who is starting out writing? Do you only write books? Or have you ever written anything else?
Christine Feehan That's a lot. You're welcome to email me at Christine@christinefeehan.com.
I love all aspects of writing. I'm inspired daily by everything around me. I've written several blogs here on Goodreads for new authors.
I write books and graphic novels.
Thank you.

Hello Christine, I am a new author, I just signed my first contract with a small publishing company out of Austin, Texas. What advise and/or insight can you give to me about asking successful authors to review and write up a recommendation for my book? Thank you for your time. Enjoy and be well.
Christine Feehan Congratulations on publishing your book.
I have written several blogs about writing which you can find here on Goodreads on my blog.
I would recommend reaching out to authors privately if you're asking for favors.

I’ve actually never heard of you and I’m so so so so sorry but I wanted to know what it takes to be an author?!
Christine Feehan Lots of patience, hard work and discipline. And of course imagination!

Hello, I’m Lynda from the UK, I’ve been an avid reader and re-reader of your Dark and Ghost walker series along with the others. Can I please ask, are you winding up the Ghost walker books now, or are there anymore planned after Thunder Game?. I really hope there’s more. Thank you Regards Lynda
Christine Feehan Thank you for asking. I do have more GhostWalker stories to tell.

Would you to able to tell me how to upload a book trailer to goodreads? I have looked for this information, but can NOT find it.
Christine Feehan I found this on YouTube for you. https://youtu.be/NWhbIePuJLE?si=Q_XYZ...

I am re-reading Torpedo Ink "Vengeance Road" not for lack of anything else to read, there are plenty of good reads out there but sometimes I want to visit with old friends I've found in books and go back to beginnings. This was a complex relationship in this story, on a touchy subject. Do you think at some point you will write stories for the Torpedo Ink children? For Shane or Czars kids?
Christine Feehan I never say never, as you know. But, I need to concentrate on the current members of Torpedo Ink first.
I do write about the children, they just aren't old enough to have their own stories.
flag
In my last question I meant Zane...not Shane. Steeles son. Do you think Zane or Czars kids will ever get their own stories ?
Christine Feehan As long as I live for another twenty years they should get their own story. LOL

Hi Christine, I'm Susan. I absolutely love your Torpedo Ink books..I feel like the characters are "real" and that I know them personally when I'm done with the book. My question is how do you decide who to dedicate the next book about?
Christine Feehan Do you mean the dedication of the book or which character will be the main focus of the book?
I dedicate books to people who have inspired or helped me.
I choose which character according to which one seems to be yelling at me. lol

What is your favorite horror book? like if you had to choose one!! horror this time not normal books. So?
Christine Feehan To be honest, I don't read horror. It's not my cup of tea. I do like a lot of suspense though.

Hi Christine! Any updates on when the next Shadow series and Leopard series books will be released? I actually read your entire series, so I would really appreciate any news. Sidebar: I've been reading your books for over a decade now, and I'm still just as excited for a new book as I was when I first started reading them!
Christine Feehan Thank you for the kind words, Belinda.
I have no news about the Shadow series at this time. I have an idea for a book, but have to write the stories my publisher asks for first.

“The Dark Joy” is an intriguing title — it reveals a deep psychological layer, like a bottomless well. I believe it represents half the success of your book. Am I right?
Christine Feehan Hello. The title is actually Dark Joy. It's part of my Carpathian series. I do believe the title gives a hint at what the book may contain.

Hi Christine, I love your "Torpedo Ink" series. All the books have the guys finding their "woman". Would you (or could you) consider writing one where the guy doesn't "get the girl"? That would be interesting.. Thanks for your time and great books! Susan
Christine Feehan Hi Susan! I write romance. That is a genre that promises a happy ever after in the end. The guy always gets the girl.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Christine Feehan Thank you for asking. Dark Joy will release on January 6th, 2026.

What's your most favorite book? I love Inkheart.
Christine Feehan I have so many. I really do. Little Women comes to mind, but there are others.

Ms Feehan Jim Frangione keeps pronouncing Eli Perez's name wrong and keeps calling him Ellie. Could you please inform the narrators how to pronounce the names correctly?
Christine Feehan Hi Tracy! I'll go listen to that. It's an older book so there's nothing that can be done at this point.
Recently they have been asking me for pronunciations. I'm very happy that they do that now.

What type of books do you enjoy reading? Or do you read your own books ;)
Christine Feehan I read my books only when I need to get ready for the next one. Or to refer back for information as I'm writing a new book.
I love a variety of books. I'm not much of a horror reader, but I love a good thriller. The books I read need to have some romance in it. It doesn't have to be the main focus, but it needs to be in the story.
