Well, I’ve just started writing book six of the Faerie Path series, so the rest of my Summer is pretty much mapped out now.
Meanwhile, I see plenty of you are getting involved in the discussion about whether Tania should end up with Edric or Connor. A few people have suggested that maybe Connor could get together with Rathina. What do you think about that one? A Faerie Princess and a human boy? Is that a good idea or not? And what about the fact that “Love Never Dies” in Faerie? What do you think that really means? And lastly - does Rathina deserve to be happy after all the things she did? Is she bad or was she just under a bad spell cast over her by Gabriel Drake when she let the Sorcerer King loose?
Over to you.
Meanwhile, I’ll be trying to get Tania out of the terrible mess she got herself into at the end of Book Five! Sorry - you’ll have to wait a few months to find out about that.
bye for the moment

annie was fun to do and i got to hugh my crush!!! acting is my fave(right after dancing)
annie was fun to do and i got to hug my crush!!! acting is my fave(right after dancing)
sorry about the double…hehehehe
lol thats cool! i dont have i crush so i would not konw all the guys at my school are jerks!
LOL. Wow!!
You know I was just thinking. Mr. Jones, if you said Drake became actually evil after Tania disappears, then wouldnt he have actually loved her when he proposed?
AFJ. You know, Zoey - I think I’m going to have to re-read the older books one day soon - just to try and remember exactly what happend with stuff like that! But I’m pretty sure that Gabriel was always a little bad - I’m pretty sure he only wanted to marry Tania because of the “gift” he knew she’d get on her 16th birthday. He just got worse afterwards. I think the only person he ever really loved went by the name of Gabriel Drake.
i re-read the part where edric tells tania the truth and if i rember corrtectly he said the he NEVER loved her that he was just power hungry.
I don’t really like to get the lead parts because honestly the guys at my school, 80 percent are jerks, 18 are just plain weird, 1.9 are smart, and last but not least .1 are nice. you don’t really know which ones are nice.
Same with my school Addie. And haha Mr. Jones, i guess Drake always did love only himself…
Is Lord Aldritch married?
Wow. Thats amazing!
AFJ. Well - there’s a fascinating question, Zoey! He certainly was married when Gabriel was born…to a wife considerably younger than he was - but I have the dreadful feeling that his wife died from puerperal fever - which you could look up online if you are interested. Very, very sad, and a possible explanation for why he’s such a grim person these days.
yah addie my school is the same except one of my 2 friends is a guy he is pretty cool we have been friends seince 4th grade. but if you saw us together you would think we were brother and sister we tease each other so much!
i have a really good guy friend but i have a crush on him. i dont want it to ruin our friendship…idk wat 2 do…!
I have a couple of guy friends also although one is my best friends brother and the other one is really creepy
he is somewhat of a goth, he used to wear black eyeliner but not as much anymore
Wow!!!! Thats awful! Poor Lord Aldritch!
thats hard jess i would sugest that you just dont tell him and keep being friends so that mabey in the future he will ask you out.
I KNOW!!!! its so confusing!!! i think i will just stick to being friends with him, but i REALLY REALLY LIKE HIM!!!! ughhhhh
Jess if you have another guy friend, ask him to ask that guy friend you have a crush on to, hold on. (Guy 1 is the other guy friend, Guy 2 is the guy you have a crush on, and you are Girl) okay so you ask guy 1 to go up to guy 2, (if they are friends even better) so, guy 1 says to guy 2, “I’m thinking of asking Girl out, I don’t know, what do you think of her, do you think she’d make a good girlfriend, do you think she’s nice, smart, or what, help me out dude.” then you see what he says and yeah. Do you get it? Then you see if he likes you JUST as a friend, or MORE then a friend.
oh and he guy 1 says, “and maybe if it doesn’t work out with me and her, maybe you can take a whack at it.” Get it? what do you think of that opinion.
That’s happened to my friend and boy did it help her, it worked until his parents didn’t want him to date anyone. and then her supposed “Best Friend” started saying like the reason he dumped you is because he doesn’t like you anymore he likes me. she is such a jerk.
wow thats really good advice addie!
Thank you, I am sort of one of the people my friends come to for advice
Then they end up doing the opposite most of what i say and then I’m like
Then why’d you ask me, and their like i don’t know to annoy you
thatnks so much addie! i think that can really work out. maybe ill try it!
go Addie!
tell me if it works out jess
well in book 4 rathina says that at one point even Gabriel had a heart/feelings/was good, so obviously at one point in his life he could have loved tania
but like edric is now he began to crave more and more power which ultimately he turned comepletly evil, like in starwars anakin was really sweet, then his mom died and he went a little crazy and killed all the tuscan raiders, then he got a robotic arm which made him a little less then human, then when he married padme and she got pregnant and he was under a lot of stress trying to keep their whole relationship a secret, then lord palpatine recognized his slight power crave and took advantage of that making him distrust and hate all jedi, then he basically was responsible for padme’s death by force choking her and breaking her heart, whivh ultimately led to him wanting more more power.
AFJ. That’s an interesting thought, there Carolina, about Gabriel and book 4. (Post before last) I’m pretty sure he only wanted Tania for her “gift” to walk between the worlds - and it seemed like he was only using Rathina…but we don’t really get to see Rathina and Gabriel together, do we - not till right at the end when he says he never loved her. But what if he did have feelings for Rathina all along? I’m not saying he did, but it’s interesting that Tania has no love at all for Gabriel despite him romancing her like crazy and almost getting her to marry him - but Rathina is still bound to him by love. I wonder…could she still be so badly in love with him if he hadn’t loved her back at all? And this whole “love is forever” deal in Faerie - does it work if only ONE OF YOU is in love? I wonder….???
AFJ. Oh…by the way, I’m not suggesting I don’t know how the Love is Forever thing works in Faerie - but as it’s not clear in the books (yet!), I was wondering what kind of a take you guys had on it.
Or Carolina, something that really did happen in REAL life, Adolf Hitler, Sweet Kid turned into one of the most hated people. His Father Alois Hitler died in 1903 (Not the saddest thing to happen). Then in 1907, devastation, his mother died of Cancer. One very surprising thing is that the doctor that took care of his mother when they found out she had Cancer was a Jewish doctor named Edward Bloch. The words that he said to that Dr. Bloch was, “I shall be grateful to you forever.” well then what happens… well i’m not entirely sure why he hates the Jews, short people, etc… I think it had something to do at first with Jews not wanting to follow him. I’m not entirely sure, i had to do the First part of his life, my partner did the other half. so yeah
i think that love is not forever for the peson that never loved the other person so basicly i think that rathina will all ways love drake but i think that drake never loved rathina and that if he was still alive he never would. i all so think that drake was so full of hatred and evil that he could never love. he might have been able to befor he when fully bad but not now if he was still alive. but i think that no matter how much rathina loved drake that she can still love someone else. what do you think of that theory mr.jones?
well when tania and rathina were walking by the ocean place in book four after the baby died tania had assumed that people in faerie could get over each other after a while if there was no reponse from the other person, but even though Gabriel really never loved her, he could have, but would have had to lie to rathina and tell her he loved her when he made the devious plan to marry tania for her gift so he would have already been evil.
but now since connor isn’t from faerie and tania is only half faerie, would that mean that the rules wouldn’t completely apply to them?
hummmmmmmmm thats a good question will you be willing to answer that mr.jones?
AFJ. I’m not sure I should answer that question…but if I did answer it…I might say something like: …I don’t think the rules would apply to Connor as he has no faerie blood in him at all…but the real question is whether someone with half-Faerie blood would love one person forever. In other words, if Tania has the “love forever” gene - can she ever stop loving Edric - and if she doesn’t get back with him, can she “settle” for Connor, if her other option is to have no one at all???
i tr ied that whole thing with my guy friend, addie. didnt work out. he says he’d rather be friends. he says he likes me but,like me, doesnt want to ruin our friendship…sob sob…im super sad. but its okay. maybe next year.
if i were Tania i would choose no one at all if she stops loving Edric. Honestly she doesn’t need a guy to complete her all she needs is her family. and maybe a dog, or a cat, or a unicorn.
