Hi Ms. Dickerson! The places in your books are also so awesome. Are the places in your books real, based off real places, or do you created your own places? Also, how do you pick the settings for your stories. I especially love the setting in your book, the Healer's Apprentice, which is so far my favorite book. Also, I wanted to thank you for making appropriate Christian books that have clean romance and a good story.

Hi, Savvy. Hagenheim is a fictional place based somewhat on Hildesheim, Germany, where I spent one summer. I do sometimes use real places, like Berkhamsted Castle in The Silent Songbird, and real people like King Richard II alongside fictional places like Glynval. In The Orphan's Wish, I use the real town of Luneburg along with Hagenheim. I use whatever works for the story, and sometimes vice versa. :-)

Hello Melanie, I am definite book lover and I have to say that you are by far one of my favourite authors! I was just curious about Thornbeck series and The Golden Braid though. Is Sir Gerek related to anyone from the Thornbeck reigon? Because I noticed that Thornbeck takes place before all of the Hagenheim books, except the Merchants Daughter.
