(view spoiler)[Loving BTK. Story deserves telling. Struggling with 1 thing, given how FOT ends, only Kelsea with memory of the timeline that unfolded in the trilogy, I find some of the historical anecdotes offered as the chapter leads, the quotes from historians such as Father Tyler, that suggest that the original timeline continued on its own separately from the new one Kelsea lands in? (hide spoiler)]

Hi Sean. I think someone asked this same question a few years back, and as I said there, my grasp of physics (especially as pertains to time travel) is essentially nil. My idea at the time was that Kelsea's actions would have caused two diverging realities to go forward from Year 20 in the Town, but even if you're a one-timeline wipe-out-the-past kind of person, I still thought I had the right to go back to a point which did once exist before Kelsea's life and write about what happened "before" she ever took any action. Einstein would surely slap me for it, but I couldn't care less if I think I have a good story to tell.
Hope that helps, and thanks for reading. I hope you liked BTK in the end.

Hi Erika, I tried to find a way to email you but all I found was this option! The Queen of Tearling is my favorite series and everyone that I have recommended it to has loved it. I am slightly afraid that the answer is in the book and I missed it. My question to you is this: Are the sapphires actual tear shaped like on the cover of The Fate of the Tearling?

Thanks for the reply! I thought this was the case. Someone is impersonating you on Facebook. There is an account that has over 3000 followers and I don’t believe the intentions are good. I was contacted under false pretenses. I will report the account, but wanted you to know?
