Janalyn’s Comments (group member since Jan 28, 2014)

Janalyn’s comments from the Q & A with Janalyn Voigt group.

Thanks to all who participated in today's chat. If you think of anything else to ask, you can contact me either here on Goodreads or through the contact form at my website: http://janalynvoigt.com/about-janalyn...

You know, I found Donita K. Paul's dragon books hard to get into, but then I had no choice but to read one of her novels for a contest I was judging. Afterwards, I became her fan on Goodreads. I had to give her her due.

Thanks, Lynnette. It's funny you should ask me that, becuase I just answered this question on the John 3:16 Marketing Network's blog today. I had to 'fess up to not reading many fantasy authors outside Tolkien and Lewis. Blame my fantasy worlds on an active imagination, I guess. :o) In the J3:16 post, I also give my picks on which speculative fiction and fantasy books I've either read or plan to read.

Aw, that's sweet, Sharon. Thanks.

Oh, yes. That was the original story. Books one and two came about as the back story for book three demanded to be told.

Hi, Sharon. You're not the only one who has asked me that. :D All story threads will be tied up in book three.

My writing of book 3 was interrupted by the launch for book 2, but I'm nearly finished with it and ready to submit it to my publisher. They assign a release date and tell me when it will be, so I'm not absolutely certain but I suspect it will be either later in 2014 or early next year.

Hi, Lynnette. In my early attempts to write the story that is now becoming book three in the series, I couldn't find a good starting point. I kept having to back up because the back story was so intriguing. So, essentially I rewound into those stories. :)

That's okay, Jeff. I wondered if the allegory was noticeable. The main thing I offer readers is escape into adventure. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed DawnSinger.

Kai, the hero of DawnSinger is my favorite because he is focused on honor, despite challenges.

Thank you, Jessica. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading DawnSinger.

Do you have a question?

Here's my question: Here's mine: Did reading either DawnSinger or Wayfarer prompt you to think about anything in your life?

Thanks for the suggestion, Suzanne.

This is the thread for Q & A session on Tales of Faeraven. Please comment only in this thread (rather than starting a new topic) so we don't wind up with multiple threads to check. Remember to refresh your browser to see new updates. So what's your question?

Renee, thanks for voting!

It's not as difficult as you might think to create a book trailer using Windows Live Movie Maker, assuming you use Windows. If not, I believe that Apple computers have a comparable free movie maker. You should give it a try.

Warm-up exercise:

Watch the trailers for DawnSinger, book one of Tales of Faeraven, then vote on your favorite: https://www.goodreads.com/group/12538...
