I recently finished A Shiver of Light, and absolutely freaking loved it! But I also was happy but still sad over a part of it. I'm just wondering if it was also hard for you to write that, and if that was why it took a while to come up with A Shiver of Light?

(view spoiler)[Yes, and the originally ending it was three of Merry's men dead, not just one. I couldn't bear it and neither could Merry, so I rewrote the ending, but Merry has stopped talking to me until I can fix what was broken. I'm making notes and only my deep sorrow at the end of the last book prevented me from seeing it all. I was traumatized by the ending myself, so I completely understand the fan reaction, but don't give up more is coming. (hide spoiler)]

I remember Merry ,Frost and Doyle talking about their future....,,concerns about enemies killing them, and they are showered in pink rose pedals. A sign that they would be blessed. So I am confused about Frost and Merry having their mortality confirmed at the end of “shiver of light “. Seems a mixed message. Will we get that question answered deffinativley in the next Merry book? Will that be anytime soon?

Love your work, all of it. Just finished rereading all of Anita’s books. After my second reading of the series I realized that I wanted more Jean-Claude. He is always being left behind. Most of his page time is much shorter than the other main characters. Even during major “battles” we don’t ever see him do much I am hoping he gets much more page time in the future and gets to show how bad ass he can be?

Hello! I've always wanted to ask you this question. How did you sit down at age 17 and tell yourself to write when there are so many authors out there competing with your own writing and you have no idea if your stories are going to ever hit the shelves? Your writing is amazing, you're my favorite author, but when you were young and collecting rejection slips, how did you manage to tell yourself to keep going?
