Ok, you said we could ask about characters and such, so here goes. I liked both River books, but by the end of book2 I found myself liking Liv a little less. At the end she talked with and confessed to Cara, and was concerned about how she felt but never showed any concern for her husband. ....continued.??...

.....continued.... I mean I feel sorry for him. He's at home providing for her and keeping the children while she's out banging everyone paddling a canoe. She didn't even call him. Is their a divorce in the making" Are you planning to rectify that in a future book? Or am I stuck with one of your characters I don't like? You said we could ask. hehe

Freya Vallen You are right, Liv does behave quite selfish and I think she has some making up to do if she is going to get back in her husbands good graces. Luckily for Liv her husband is going to be there right along with her - and Care & her husband - in the next volume, so she will have a chance to get back on good terms with both you and her husband, or not! The next uni-adventure will be a ski trip but is still quite a ways from being ready.

I am curious if you have made any headway with ARC’s? I review advance copies from Booksprout and Story Origin. I’m not trying to rush you as I have a HUGE backlog of FV books to get through let alone anything brand new. I’m pretty sure Hank would be interested, we read a lot of the same stuff. I am currently 50% through Drover’s Rest, and I must say this is the most beautifully crafted eroticism I have ever read.

Freya Vallen Have you got Hanks email, he has mine, that might be the quickest way.

So, let's talk about your writing style. I find it unique in this genre. I've tried, probably inadequately, to describe it. I've said subtle, inuendo, making the reader read between the lines, hinting at, etc. It took me a couple of books to get used to but now I quite enjoy it. In fact, I occasionally find myself talking like that to others. LOL So how do you describe it? Continued in next question.

Freya Vallen See my answer to the next question! :-)

Is it simply how people talk in Great Britain? Or is it what is called Olde English? I find it fascinating. Your writing is too polished and your such a good storyteller for you to be new at this. Have you written in other genres? Thanks for your indulgence. Hank

Freya Vallen I think you might call it traditional English, its the language that is still spoken away from the big towns, for real olde English we would be talking about Shakespeare and hardly anyone understand the real version of that!

I had written more than 20 novels before I published any, thus you also see me publishing a lot faster than most right now as a I bring them up to date and add more.

I think what makes me different - I hope - is that my focus is 100% on making the reader experience what is happening not just read about it.

And, yes, I do have another pen name but you are not getting that here!

Well hello Ms Vallen; I just found this I'm excited to connect with you and have some back and forth about your work. I'm sure you can tell by my reviews that I am becoming a big fan. I will say more later but I just wanted to test the waters here. BTW, you mentioned something about a blog post? What and where? Later Hank

Freya Vallen Hi Hank,

You should be able to see the blog on my author page here.

Elsewhere there IS now going to be a 4th book in The Cove trilogy(!), the idea I got while answering you last week has stuck, it will be a few weeks to write it but its coming.
