Charli  M.
Charli M. asked Gail Carson Levine:

I'd had a question about what Fareeha had asked for a while. I'd read one of your books on writing and the idea about writing a character based on the role had really interested me. What are your thoughts on writing a role designed for a specific character? Do you think that would lead to a flawed plot or uninteresting story?

Denia  Books & Baubles
Denia Books & Baubles asked Gail Carson Levine:

I just wanted to say that I think your books are amazing and that I think that, of course, you should keep writing. How is the prequel of THE TWO PRINCESSES OF BAMARRE going to be like?, please give us an advance.
