Interviews

The Challenging Destiny interview was done face-to-face, with a tape recorder in a restaurant that was a little on the loud side. I speak much more informally, and the tone of the interview is therefore different from the tone of most of my other interviews.

Jim Hines of the Goblin trilogy, interviewed me about working in an SF/F bookstore (in my case, Bakka-Phoenix Books).

Another interview with Spherical Time. It’s here, and covers slightly different ground.

John Ottinger at Grasping for the Wind has just let me know that an interview he conducted has just gone live. It’s here.

    Hi Michelle–

    I am reading Cast in Secret, although I hadn’t read the earlier two–have just ordered them. I love your book and voice. You are giving me new ideas about using humor in books.

    I am a reviewer with RT in category and mystery at the moment, although after some years I have started writing again.

    Kaylin is both appealing and interesting and I look forward to reading her back story.

    Thanks for the stories. Page Traynor

    I’ve enjoyed your Cast series thus far, but am dying to see Kaylin advance her relationship with Lord Nightshade. Is there any hope?

    Michelle,

    I’m really loving the new ‘Cast in’ series. How many books are you planning to write for this series?

    Michelle,

    Oh my gosh! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your Cast series. I am in love with the book and can NOT wait until you come out with Cast in Silence. I must say that I love Lord Nightshade, the way that the pre-teens are in love Edward Cullen. Is there anything that you can tell me about Kaylin and Nightshade’s relationship? What is it going to progress to? When will they reach the next step? Do they love each other? I read Cast in Fury in one night after I bought it! Just wanted you to know that I love your writing!!!

    Just finished “Fury”, and am looking forward to the next book – the plots are good and the characters believable. As for requests, I think Kaylin will set new records for both naivete and bad karma if she doesn’t “advance her relationship” with Severn.

    Your books are great, I hope you continue the series! I’m reading Cast in Secret right now, and I’m looking forward to reading Cast in Fury. Thanks!

    Wow, seems there’s going to be a clash over who should get Kaylin’s affections–Severn or Lord Nightshade! I’m all for Severn though! I love the books, and as an aspiring author, I’m really loving the blog! I know everyone has their own ways of doing things, but it’s still cool to see how an awesome author does it. Thank you!

    I’ve read The Sacred Hunt, the Sun Sword, most of the Cast series and am reading The Hidden City now. I love your work!

    I’m loving reading about the formation of Jay’s den. You do such a great job of keeping Jay Jay, while jumping decades back in time. It’s definitely living up to all of my expectations for the series thus far. I can’t wait to read House Name and the rest; I’ve been dying since Jay left to go North during the Sun Sword!

    Michelle, Four books is a very long time to be dangling the romance carrot. I really enjoy your books; I like the city of Elantra, and the differnt races, and the mysterious marks on the main character’s body. But please, please start something with Severn, soon! A series without a love interest – any love interest- is incomplete. I hope Cast in Silence will address this issue. I would dearly love to say the Elantra books are my favorite fantasy series ever, but am sorry to say that at this time I can not do so in good faith. I will have to go with Tamora Peirce’s Alana series for a bit longer. Please, do not disapoint!

    I’ ve read all your novels and love, really love the way you write! I think the Sun Sword cycle to be one of the best things ever written in fantasy… I love the depth of characters as well as the plot. Every book lives and breathes… and definitely smiles to me
    Please go on as fast as you can with House Name as well as the Elantra series!

    No trips to beautiful sunny Italy? ;-D

    I started with your Cast series, fell in love with your writing and now I have covered the first 3- Sun Sword books. Oh I also read Into the Dark Lands and Hunters Oath and Hunters Death- I had a very hard time keeping some of the characters straight, in the Sun Sword books. Especially the Annagarian Ranks, The Royals, and The Clans. I feel really stupid, so I will keep re-reading them until I can keep them all straight. I didn’t have that problem with the Cast series. Thanks I can’t wait to read the next book, Cast in Silence. I am a big , big fan of everything of yours I can get my hands on!

    Forget Severn, let’s see Kaylin with Nightshade romantically!

    And although they are your oldest books and not in print, I thought the Sundered series was absolutely beautiful and moving.

  14. On 2009/10/19 at 19:40 Emma Said:

    I have really enjoyed reading your Cast series, and I really enjoy all the different characters however will Kaylin advance her relationship with Lord Nightshade or Severn?

  15. On 2009/10/23 at 07:29 Sarah Said:

    Is it okay to ask how long you waited to get a response for Chronicles of Elantra?
    Or do you have any advice about waiting on a response? i read the interview Challenging Destiny but i may have missed something.

    Thanks

    i love your Chronicles of Elantra series.

    I pulled The Hidden City off the library shelf and wolfed it down, and then read it again. The best, most well written and engaging book I’ve read in a long time! I’ve gone on to read your Cast series and enjoyed them as well, but I have to say I can’t wait for the second House Wars. Thank you!
