Will do!

Sorry to disappoint, Stephen. I didn't answer your previous post because in all honesty, the question felt baited. A multiple choice question whose three possible answers are all controversial historical figures is the kind of thing folks who are jonesing to argue tend to pose. I'm not here for that kind of thing.

Also, the 'you're cute' comment made me feel a little uncomfortable, as did the partial nudity on your FB page.

This chat was created to give readers of Shrilugh and The Darkening a place to talk about the books, and ask questions about them that they'd like answered. If you'd like to participate in those conversations in a respectful manner, by all means, do. Otherwise, feel free to amuse yourself elsewhere.

Best,
Myndi Shafer

geeesh... bet he didn't even read the books :-)

I know, right?? He obviously wasn't here to talk about them. And somehow your last comment went away. I think I got delete happy...but I definitely didn't mean to delete yours. Sorry! :(

I did it, I figured I shouldn't poke the troll ;-)

I wasn't going to say anything, but his second comment made me wonder if he'd just keep making snarky remarks, so I figured I'd stand my ground and then just delete the rest of his stuff.

My first troll! :/

you handled him well. Deletion is the fastest way to disperse them. They tend to enjoy the banter and attention. Now banish him from your thoughts, he is still lurking to see if you are talking about him :-)

Who? *grin*

I can't wait for Book Three. Not rushing you or anything but I really really want to see what happens next. :-)

YAAAY! I'm sooo glad that you're excited. Please feel free to pop into the Spoilers thread and conjecture away about what you think is coming. I may or may not confirm anything. *grin*

I wish I had a timeline to give you, but I'm just not solid yet. The rough draft is written, so it shouldn't be too long...hopefully!

Awesome! I was afraid it would be close to the end of the year. You put tons of world building in the books and they're all long (YAY!!!) so I know it has to take a long while to write them. Glad to know I don't have to wait that long. :-)

I'm really hoping it will be before the end of the year. I'm taking all of March off - I'm BEAT - but hopefully I'll be refreshed and able to rock it. :) I'll totally keep you in the loop as to how it's going!

I can imagine. That's okay - I'll be waiting when it's ready. :-)

Sorry it took me so long to respond, Jennifer - the stomach bug made a brief appearance at our house. Yick. All better now, tho!

Tickled pink you're enjoying it! Writing the event of the Darkening was so much fun!

I am over half through the Darkening....Love,Love,Love It! I only wish I had a few days off work to just totally emerse myself in the book. Please keep writing!!! I haven't been this book happy in well forever. You have such a beautiful gift, I'm totally taken in with this story and really am fine with not returning to the real world for the time being! :)
Thank you for sharing your talent, this is one blessed lady to be on the receiving end! Blessings to you Myndi!
