Hello there,
I’ve already told you about the new Fan Site that Marisa has set up, well, we put our heads together and we’ve come up with a great idea!
Marisa is organizing a short story writing competition for members of the Fan Club - and the prize will be a signed copy of Faerie Path 5: The Enchanted Quest.
One other little thing - as most of you already know, there are currently planned to be 6 Faerie Path books published by Harper Collins. I’d love to write more, but this will depend on the sales of the first six. At the moment things are looking good - but what will help is if I can show the Publishers that I have a big Fan Club - so any of you guys who haven’t joined up yet, might like to consider doing so - it costs nothing and it will definitely have exclusive stuff on it.
I’ve already given Marisa two short stories of mine, and I have another ready. Plus I plan on posting some poems - and some of the more eagle-eyed among you will spot that some of the words of these poems will have already appeared as songs and chants in the Faerie Path series.
Plus she will have some of my artwork for you to look at. All things considered, Marisa’s Fan Club is going to be a great place to visit!
how do you inter the contest????? my teacher all ways tells me im really good at writing short stories!
mr.jones i was thinking about what to do for my short story and i was wondering if it would be ok if i did something about taina befor she first sidesteped into the mortal world?? i was thinking about writing about the week befor she was to get married. i would put this part in it to where she meets edric but as a servant not someone she loves. it would be really wierd feeling for the reader cuz they already know edric!
way cool. im pretty good at writing but i probably won’t enter. too busy with homework, tennis, and nonschool related reading. Mr. Jones, you draw??
accualy im thinking of starting out with that but then also do what happens when she first enters the mortal world ya know how she gets sick and every thing? i really want to win this!
AFJ. Liz - Marisa is running the quiz, so you’ll need to go to the Fan Club site and ask her what the rules are.
Zoey - yes, I do draw a little - hopefully Marisa will post a few of my pictures soon.
thank you i will do that i already have a good start!
Mr. Jones would we get the copy early if we won
im having troble posting them
AFJ. Sorry, Carolina - that’s not very likely, I’m afraid. I don’t get my copies till about two weeks before publication, so by the time I’ve signed one and sent it to America (I assume!) you’ll probably get it about the time it comes into the bookstores.
But I will add something to the signature to show that it was the very first copy signed, and a date to show it was signed before general publication.
ooooo i really hope i win but there is sooooo much good competition!
mr.jones do you like detail writing?
AFJ. Not sure what you mean there, Liz. What is “detail writing”?
like one excample could b: her dress flowed in the wind. it reminded tania of wind rippling water. her dress was a lilac purple and had navy blue imbrdory around the heam. she looked almost scary with her long, shiny, black hair framing her pretty hart shaped face.
Do you get what im doing like discribing things in a lot of detail?
AFJ. Ahh! Yes - I get it now. Yes, that’s good - I like that.
ok thankyou just making sure because im really detailed!
That sounds really good Liz!
yah im already done but im going to get some fed back before i put it up. its about what happens to tania after she first goes to the mortal realm. yah know lick how she die and everything
i mean like and dies
