Ask Alexandra Monir! discussion

What did you think of the sequel? Tell me what you loved or didn't love :) and if you have any questions- I'll be sure to answer!

Ohhh I loved it. Will there be a 3rd book?? :-)

Hi Laura! I'm so happy to hear you loved it, yay! Right now I'm writing a new YA novel for Random House that isn't part of the Timeless series- but I do have ideas for a third book and it's something we've talked about. We shall see!! :)

Ooooo! Yes please! Third book!!!!!

Thanks Caryn! What would you want more of if there was a third book? :)

Hmmmm.... Well I really enjoyed all of the time traveling. It was very interesting. I would like to read some more action maybe and... well of course Phillip. Haha!

Yes, I'd have to write more Philip- I miss him! :)

Me too! <3

I loved the book and would love a third and hopefully fourth book. The only thing I didn't like was how short it was besides that I loved the whole story.
Also will you ever or have you done a book signing on the East Coast because I would love to meet you in person and ask for an autograph, but sadly I live in Florida

OMG hi Alexandra!!!!! I can't believe i am actually talking to you!I love your book timeless!!! Its sooo beautiful!! I haven't yet read any others :( and i am dying to do so!! I can't wait to see how Philip came to her time!! Could you please try and come to Dubai? I would do anything to see you in person :)
I can't believe you are writing another series!! It'll be perfect!

Hi Charlotte! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the book. I will be doing some book signings on the east coast later this spring. In fact, I might be in Florida (Orlando) in late May/early June!

Hi Imasha! You are so sweet, thanks for your kind words! I hope you enjoy TIMEKEEPER- let me know what you think of Philip in 2010. :) And I would love to come to Dubai- hopefully I'll get to do a book event there in the future!

Hi!! Aww. Thanks! Your welcome :) Wow! Its really you! ok! I will write the best review I can as soon as I finish reading it! Yaay! I really hope u can come to Dubai. I am positive you'll love it here :-D

I read Timeless shortly after it was released and I loved it so much! I haven't read Timekeeper yet and I was wondering if there was any way to request a review copy from the publisher?

Aww thanks Imasha! :)

Hi Tanya! I'm so happy to hear you loved Timeless, and I can't wait to hear what you think of Timekeeper. Unfortunately after a book has been released it's hard to get review copies from the publisher, but I'll definitely ask!

First Off, I just want to say I love love love Timeless and Timekeeper! I read both books in one sitting. In Timekeeper, I was really upset that Philip didnt recognize Michele when he first walked into the classroom. So I was glad that Michele was able to go back in time to see the Philip who adored her. I also really enjoyed getting to know Michele's father more and the love her parents shared for one another. On the other hand, I was kinda upset with how Philip Walker was able to configure how he knows and loves Michele. I kinda had it in my mind that the Council had something to do with erasing his mind and in order to retrieve his memory back, she had to go through harsh steps that the council administered...That being said, I still loved the book. And rated it 5 stars! So my question is: are you going to continue with this series and make it a trilogy or are you creating a new story entirely different from Timeless and will it be paranormal? And also what made you want to become an author? I would Love to meet you! Are you coming to OHIO anytime soon?!

Hi Alexandra! I really loved reading Timeless, it is such a wonderful and original idea, but I have not been able to get my hands on a copy of Timekeeper yet, though I hope to soon. Do you have a bookseller where I could buy signed copies of your books? That would be amazing. I hope one day you will come down to Australia where I live, though that might be a long way off. I am really excited about hearing that you are working on another series, I am sure I will absolutely love it too. Also, a third book in the Timeless series would be wonderful.

Hi Mimi! I'm honored to hear that you read both books in one sitting, that's awesome!

Your ideas about the Time Society are really cool! Because the Society is only able to deal in matters of Time, and they don't have the power of memory control or things like that, I wouldn't have been able to work that into the plot. But it's definitely a cool idea!

At the moment I'm writing a new YA novel for Random House- it's a romantic thriller, and I'm so excited about it!! There is a bit of a paranormal element to it as well. :) But I do have ideas for further books in the TIMELESS series, and I could very well end up continuing!

I wanted to become an author because I'm one of the biggest bookworms around. :) Reading really inspired me to come up with my own stories.

I don't currently have plans to do an event in Ohio, but hopefully in the near future! Thanks again for reading and for your thoughtful questions. :)

Hi Marguerite! I'm so happy to hear you loved Timeless. There are signed copies of TIMEKEEPER at two Barnes & Noble stores in Southern California, but that's pretty far from Australia! :) I would love to come to Australia on my next book tour, that would be amazing- I'll keep you posted!

I loved timeless very much. I had eagerly waited for timekeeper that i got the book day after its release and read it finish on the same day! Are you going to write anymore books?

Ohh love the sound of you writing a romantic thriller when will it release???

Hi Saphire! That's so cool that you read the whole book the same day you got it! My next book is a romantic thriller for Random House, publishing next year. :)

Thanks Laura! The romantic thriller is called SUSPICION and it publishes next year. I'm really excited about it- currently in the midst of the first draft!

I love love love this series! It's one of my all time favorites :) Timekeeper was so cool but I wish there had been more scenes with Phillip in the present, gotta love him ;) I really hope there will be a new book for the series because I cannot get enough of Michele and Phillip and their relationship! I'm very curious about your new series, will it be like Timeless? Or does this series have a new plot line entirely?

Thanks Whitney! I know, I love present-day Philip too and wish I could have spent more time with him! :) With TIMEKEEPER I really wanted to lift the veil on the mysteries of the first book (Michele's dad, how time-travel works, Michele's abilities, etc). So that's why there was a little less of Philip, but I hope you enjoyed his storyline!

The new book I'm writing is very different in that it's a mystery/thriller- but it has a BIG love story at the center. :)

Thank-you Alexandra for replying! [Wow, I am so excited] On another thought, would it be possible for me to order your books signed when you go on tour next? I suppose I have to ask the bookstore that, anyway, keep up the wonderful literature! You are definitely one of my favourite authors.

Ooooooo thanks for replying! Big love story sounds VERY appealing so I will definitely be checking it out! :) And I did still love his storyline :)

The storyline about philip was great! I am excited about your next book. Do post more details about your next book in goodreads as soon as possible. I will be eagerly waiting. I love thrillers!

Thanks, Whitney and Saphire! I'll be sure to post details about the new book here as soon as I can. :)

Alexandra are you ever going to come to New York for your fans here? :) please! I'd love to meet you!!

Elizabeth, yes! I will be there in mid-March for New York Public Library's Teen Author Fest. I'll keep you posted on the dates!

OMG!!! I'm so excited! You made my day!

I just finished Timekeeper... I loved it!!! I loved Michele and Philip and how he found her in the present. Look forward to any more books you are writing!!

I have a question about TIMELESS. If Philip was already in love with someone else, why did he came back? (Still haven't read TIMKEEPER though, so just tell me if the answer is in the second book. Still waiting for it to come. D: ) Sorry, I think tooooo much. XD

Thank you so much, Rebecca! So glad you loved it. :)

Hi Faye! Philip never really fell in love with someone else- at the end of TIMELESS when he's all grown up in the 1940s he does have a girlfriend, but that's only because he was forced to accept that Michele couldn't live in his Time. But he never got over her. :)

Awwwww! I am about to start crying! How do you come up with such amazing,perfect,heart-stopping love stories?

Hi Alexandra! Just finished reading Timekeeper. The book is really great. I loved that it had more action than the previous one. I enjoyed getting to know Irving and his relationship with Marion. And I am really happy for Michele for finally becoming friends with her grandparents. And, of course, Philip is amazing!
However, while reading the book one question kept popping up in my mind. Cassie's best friend in Timeless was named Aaron. How did he end up being named Matt in Timekeeper?

OMG!!! Timekeeper was brilliant!! It tied up everything, and the mystery of Phillip!!!!!! I was so happy that he was finally able to be with her!! Thanks you so much for this beautiful touching story :)
