You should check out the eye candy on my Pinterest boards and the blog post I have on my website detailing why my dragons are the next book boyfriends. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12748770065387721818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-77379252228485572762013-10-13T16:36:35.069-05:002013-10-13T16:36:35.069-05:00Thank you, Jessica!

Crystal plans to do a full review then and will certainly let everyone know if the release date changes!<br /><br />It's definitely fun to sneak pieces of my life into my writing then see if the beta readers who know me recognize any of it. Some do. Some don't. And it's cool to reveal those aspects later to people. I do LOVE this book, this series, these characters, and everything about all of it. I'm crazy about it! Thankfully, so is my publisher, so you can expect lots of passion and excitement in months approaching its release!<br /><br />And YES, a new language! Penfaeryn is all my own and will develop further through the trilogy and over the course of the additional books I intend to spin off from it.<br /><br />Haha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't fully decide until the book is done which character is ultimately their favorite. It's great when they surprise you (even when you wrote them) and grow into so much more! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12748770065387721818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-85573960370480243882013-10-13T16:28:28.063-05:002013-10-13T16:28:28.063-05:00Genius or maybe crazy, Hafsah, but thanks!

I think it adds to their personality in deeper ways, at least for me. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12748770065387721818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-58143298069820285762013-10-13T16:26:06.875-05:002013-10-13T16:26:06.875-05:00Thanks, Meredith!

Crystal can tell you how much fun she is, as all my beta readers have said, but I truly enjoyed writing her. My oldest daughter absolutely loves her and swears Cait is one of the best female main characters she's read in a romance, which is saying a lot from my ultra picky teenager!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12748770065387721818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-17504858260688219692013-10-11T16:48:08.814-05:002013-10-11T16:48:08.814-05:00This sounds so good!

I'd love to read it eventually! :)<br /><br />I really like how Melissa incorporates aspects of her life into the book but not enough that it sticks out. And there's so much passion even in her answers for the interview. (Also, to create a new language??? Heck yes!)<br /><br />And lastly, I've found that I feel the same way about my favorite characters in my stories. I usually know as soon as I write them, but I definitely think it's also about the characters that you enjoy writing and that surprise even you.<br /><br />Great interview! :)Jessica Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278267164524000685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-54211921281287393702013-10-10T10:48:58.490-05:002013-10-10T10:48:58.490-05:00I need to read this.

It's so true. I much prefer a strong female heroine, as opposed to one that relies on others to save her, and boys to validate her.Meredith @ Pandora*s Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488994511596509503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791734906041670084.post-63113924048270198202013-10-09T12:48:53.823-05:002013-10-09T12:48:53.823-05:00Thanks for doing this interview, Crystal!
