Hey ,I came across your book and wanted to ask you something specific. Once the writing is finished, do you already have someone you trust to handle the editing, proofreading, formatting, and presentation of the book, or do you usually take care of those parts yourself?  .I’ve noticed that the work after finishing the manuscript can sometimes be just as important as the writing itself, so I was curious about how you a
Christine Feehan I have a team of people who edit the books. I have someone on my team before it goes to my editor and then the publishing house has a team of people.

Are we going to find out what's the punishment is for the guy that betrayed Alena? I am enjoying your books, and I plan on starting the Shadow Riders next. I'm so glad I've discovered you. I love all of the series so far. I can hardly wait for your next book!
Christine Feehan I try to answer what I can when the following book comes out.
I hope you love my Shadow Riders series!

Hi Christine! I’m an aspiring author working on a few fantasy novels, and I’d love to get an experienced author’s perspective. If you ever have the time, would you be willing to read a few chapters from each of my novels and share your honest thoughts on the writing, characters, pacing, & world-building? I’m not looking for extensive editing, just genuine reader/author feedback. I completely understand if you’re busy
Christine Feehan Hello Lin,

As a policy I don't read other people's work. Honestly, I don't have the time. I wish I did. But if you check my Goodreads blogs you'll see that I did write several blogs on writing and publishing. I hope those help.

Hi Christine, love the Dark Series and I routinely do a re read of all books every couple of years. I’m currently doing so and I’m on Dark Carousel and wondering if we will see Genevieve and Grace in coming books and if they will be lifemates. I’d hoped they would be lifemates to the monastery ancients but as they are all partnered up now, just wondering if the lovely ladies will be saving a couple of souls soon?
Christine Feehan I do think of them and hope to see them with their lifemates. But it has to come to me naturally and make sense. Their time will come!

Hello. This is Matt O. Your fan from Fernley, Nevada again. I'm about finished with Dark Joy. Going with the triplets. Question, since we're back to the rainforest of the series, can we expect the return of the magic Fertility Orchid with Lojos and/or Matais?
Christine Feehan Good question. But of course I can't answer it. LOL

Hello dear Christine, I have been writing supernatural and paranormal books for four years and published them on Amazon, but I still have no sales or reviews. I can’t afford paid ads or review services. Do you have any advice on how an author with no budget can help their books get noticed and read? Thank you.
Christine Feehan I'm probably not the one to ask. I have a team who does all of that for me. But, doing blogs on Goodreads and being available on social media is one thing I can recommend.

Dear Ms. Feehan, As a writer myself, I often feel that writing a series is a way to keep our characters alive a little longer. Sometimes I am even surprised when rereading what I wrote years before. Do you ever experience that same feeling when returning to your characters?
Christine Feehan I do love revisiting old characters.

Which of your characters is closest to your personality?
Christine Feehan I think all of them have a little piece of me.

When you title a book do you give any consideration to whether it has been used before? Many titles are, for instance "The Reckoning" is 6 very different books, "Nowhere to run" used 7 times, "Payback" 8. "The Return" a whopping 9 times. I never gave it much thought until I started researching it. I used to think a title could never be duplicated. Does it matter to you? Just wondering. PS Cant wait for "Twisted Road"!
Christine Feehan Not really. But I do have a team who will let me know if a title has been used a lot just in case I want to make changes.

How did you know you wanted to become an author? Like, how did you know that you were going to write books and people would actually read them, and that this career was going to work out? Like, I am still in high school, writing a book, and I want to become a writer, but I just don't know if it will work out.
Christine Feehan I've always written stories since I could put pen to paper. It's a compulsion for me. I'm blessed that people like my books and I can do this as a career.

Hi Christine, when you're writing your books,ie Torpedo Ink, are you copying an outline or "making it up" as you go along with whatever comes to mind? Awesome series!! Thx, Susan
Christine Feehan I sit down and start writing. No outline.

Ms. Feehan, I was wondering if you have ended your Shadow series? If not, may I ask if you let your readers know when you are ending a series. I enjoy all of your novels, looking forward to the next Torpedo Ink book. Thank you in advance! Sincerely, Jean
Christine Feehan I love my Shadow Rider series. But, the publisher determines which books they want to publish and when. With Mass Market paperbacks no longer being in print it makes it harder to get series like the Shadow Riders and Leopards published.
