Is there a problem with 'Tale as old as time' I'm in the UK and the only place i can find that stocks it is Amazon, but they are saying 'temporarily out of stock' but it was only release four days okay so I'm a little confused by it all?

Liz Braswell I am bringing this to the attention of my editor! Good heavens, we can't have that...

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Liz Braswell Creating worlds, setting my own hours, free rein to drink as much coffee as I require, but most of all--letters from readers. They are what keep me going in my darkest moments, and fly me even higher on days when the pagecount tips dangerously heavy. I love the fact that people out there I've never met are able to share my worlds.

Loved As Old As Time. Are there plans for any more books in the series? I would love to see what might have happened in certain tales, like if Merida's mother Elinor had been killed saving Merida from Mordu in Brave, or if Charlotte Le Bouef had kissed Prince Naveen instead of Tiana in the Princess and the Frog?

Liz Braswell Oh, I have plans! But I can't share them yet! :)

The Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. I'm not sure if my dad has family in Georgia or not?? I'll have to ask him.

Liz Braswell I think we have some family near the base of the range in Georgia...isn't that funny!

So you've done Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast (excited for that one!). Brave is my all-time favorite, and Merida is my princess (it's a curly redhead thing). Would you ever consider doing Brave or a more recent film? Maybe asking the question what if Merida never changed her mother into a bear and she was forced to choose a suitor? How would she change her fate then?

Liz Braswell I would absolutely consider doing Brave! But I can't reveal the future of the series, not yet... :)

Any tips on finding inspiration for writing? I try to write short stories but feel like all my creativity has left me.

Liz Braswell The answer is to write every day, at least a page a day. You can't just write only when you are inspired; trust me, most authors don't wake up inspired every day. Once your mind and body get used to writing for a set period every day you will find inspiration comes more easily.

That being said, when I am truly blocked I go out and do something creative that totally doesn't involve writing--usually I go to art museums. Something about an entirely different medium and process gets my mind going again.

Hope this helps!

Not a question, but I just wanted to say that we have the same last name lol. And I never find anyone with my last name, so...Fun fact?

Liz Braswell Where are you from??!!! My dad's side of the family is from Georgia, there are more Braswells there. There are only one or two in New York City as far as I know!
