The news on any possible continuation of the Faerie Path books hasn’t changed yet. I have a meeting lined up for some time in June or July with a colleague who is involved in the UK end of the publication process - after that meeting I should know for sure what is going on with the New York publishers and what my options are for letting you people have some more stuff about Tania and Co.
Meanwhile, I received a mail from a reader who suggested that people might like it if I started writing on Facebook more regularly. My friend Gary Chalk (illustrator and co-writer of The Six Crowns series) is busy tweeting - and I’m thinking of giving daily updates of what’s going on in my world on Facebook. So - here’s a question for you: how many of you are on Facebook, and how many of you would be interested becoming friends with me on Facebook and would follow regular (daily) posts by me on my Facebook page? (I’m on Facebook now as Allan Frewin - if you’d like to take a look).
Speaking of Gary Chalk - he has a brand new online gallery - I’d really like it if you would take a few minutes out to take a look - there are some really great pictures on the site and you can contact Gary directly if you’d like to - he’d love to hear from you! Go to: www.garychalkillustration.com.
Other News. It’s very early days, but Gary and I have put our heads together and come up with a brand new faerie romance idea that we’re thinking of writing together. I know how much you people love Tania and her world(s) - but I think this new idea of ours could be just as good! Out of interest, how many of you would be interested in this new series if it was initially only available as a download for Kindle, iPad etc?
Thanks also for all your great ideas for competitions to win copies of The Enchanted Quest. I’m still sorting through them, but I will definitely have a competition up and running in a few weeks.
Hey Mr. Jones,
I don’t have a facebook, and my parents wont let me get one, so I would not be able to follow you on facebook. Are you thinking of replacing your blog with facebook? Please don’t! Also, I would love it if you wrote another faerie romance book. But I wish it would be in paper. I don’t have a kindle or ipad, but my Dad has one so he might let me buy it on that. But the problem with reading on the ipad is that it makes my eyes tired faster. And uses up the battery that my dad wants to use too. But, it the ipad is the only way, that’s alright.

AFJ. Don’t worry, Sarah - I am only thinking of going on Facebook additionally to blogging on here, not instead of!
I have a facebook and I am on everyday…. It would be awesome if you wrote another faerie series… but I don’t have a kindle, iPAD, Nook, or anything… I could ask for one for Christmas.. but that is so far away and I don’t know if I actually really want one. I will have to play around with my friends to see if I like it or not…
I would love to be friends on facebook. I’ll go look you up as soon as I’m done here. I would check in daily as I do your blog here.
I would also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE another faerie romance series and would buy it for download the day it comes out. Please keep us up to date on all of this. Exciting news for sure if it happens!
Mr Jones
I think it would be awesome if you guys wrote another faerie romance book. However I think it should be in paper. This is because I do not have, nor will I get one anytime soon, an iPad or Kindle.
And now, I think I will go search for you on facebook
I’d probably read what you have on facebook. I don’t check mine a lot, but I do check.
As for the faerie romance, woot! I’m sure it’d be great, and I’d totally buy it. I myself would prefer it in book form, but if I can get it on my Borders e-book, I’d be good too.
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let other readers know that even if you don’t have a Kindle or Ipad you can still buy and download Kindle books as long as you have Kindle for PC or Mac. You can read book from your computer! http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_355500722_6?ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=1HYZC71PJWHQKW4BWTDV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1298744862&pf_rd_i=133141011
This website will give you more information on it!
I have facebook and would love daily updates on there.
I would love another romance story, but I don’t own or intend on buying a kindle because I am to attached to real books.
Ah the smell of the pages, or the feel of the spine in your hand. The way a book looks left on a book shelf calling to you with an new or familiar adventure that can help you escape the reality of life and take you on to new places your wallet cannot carry you.
AFJ. I agree with you Laura about real books - I have one whole room full of books. But right now the big publishing houses are being really cautious about accepting new series, so I’m looking at the possibilities of publishing electronically - it might be that or nothing!
I love the thought of you doing another faerie romance i would deffinatly read it and buy the series for my nook and mabey when you publishing company saw how many pepole loved the books the would print it on paper so even more pepole could read them and love them.I really hope that you do write that series(:
I’m the same, I like reading actual books. I have an e-reader, but haven’t used it much. I figure I’ll use it for books I wanna try, but aren’t by my favorite authors and such. Those I rather actually own. Though it is a pain finding room for em. I need more bookcases. I can’t fit all mine, actually some are packed away.
I really think that if you put the new series only on kindle and nook, that it might be inaccessible to a lot of your fans… I can’t do it that way, for instance.
AFJ. Kathleen - I would only go down the e-book route if I was unable to get a publisher interested in a paper version. MY choice would be to have the book in all formats - but if I can’t find a publisher willing to put the book/s out on paper, I don’t have any other options.
My other comment here would be that this is something I might have to consider in a year or so if all else fails. It’s not something I’m planning on doing in the near future.
AFJ, I just added you as a friend on FB so it would be awesome if you could write updates on there because I look on there more than I do your blog. It would be awesome if you wrote a faerie romance!!! Love your books! thanks!!
AFJ. Jaclyn - I’m planning on posting updates on Facebook as well as blogging on this site - so hopefully everyone will be happy.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to remind the Allen Frewin Jones fans about the Faerie room fan forum. I am online all the time and no one seems to comment on any of the posts anymore. So if you have an account then you should leave some more comments. If you don’t then it is a great way to have wonderful conversations about Faerie Path, Warrior Princess, or any thing you want. The link is in the corner of the page, thanks!
I will freind you on facebook after im done here and i dont have a i pad or anything like that and anyway reading from a book is more fun.
AFJ. I agree 100% with you, Abby - I love books - REAL paper books. The reason I’m asking about Kindle and Ipads and downloadable books is in case I find myself without an alternative. I guess what I’m really asking is whether a dowloadable book is better than nothing at all.
sounds cool, what about making it available for the Barnes & Noble Nook? I prefer paper books, but I have no room!
how are EBooks not real? they posess the same writing as a traditional book
AFJ. You’re absolutely right - ebooks do have the same words as paper books - but I just like the feel of a paper book in my hands when I read - and I like to see them on my shelves or piled up in my reading stack by my desk.
I agree. Paper books are the best. But a downloadable book is better to me than no book at all. I LOVE your writing and I will take it anyway I can get it.
I would follow you!
Hi Allan I am going to add you on facebook. I would love to read a new fairy romance but I cannot afford an ipad or a kindle book reader unfortunately. It would be like not having a book at all. I am doing a blood taking course and I do not finish until August. Allan I tried getting into the police force but my eyes were too bad. It will cost me 6000 dollars to fix them and the doctor did not think I was suitable for the police force. so Once I have done my blood taking course and have been working in the country I am going to try to be a doctor. A very long process but worth it. I am going to be another hopie. Once I start working I might look at getting a kindle reader, but I still prefer books. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Dear Mr. Jones,
I would absolutely love for you to write more Faerie Path books! Please do everything you can. I’m saving up the money to buy them all. I read them through checking them out at my library. I just finished the sixth book and am anxiously awaiting more about these beloved characters!
I personally would like another faerie romance novel as well but I do have to say that I love reading about Tania and Edric and everyone. Is there a chance that you could write another book about all of them (Tania and Edric)?? And I personally don’t care if it’s in paper or not because I have an ipad2. But I know not everyone does so I would suggest doing it the old fashioned way on paper. Thanks Allan!
AFJ. Thanks everyone for getting back to me. I love paper books, and I’m not a big fan of e-books, but if it’s a case of e-books or nothing, I’d have to go with e-books. I’m just checking out my options right now.
I just finished the latest fairy path book and I am really hoping to at least see one more. I feel like I still have so many questions unanswered. I would be very interested in there being at least one more book to clear things up.
i would love to read another faerie romance. those type of stories always are what entice me the most. but like many other i prefer being able to have an actual book. I plan to get a kindle or something but im also the type of person that would download and buy the book so i can read based on preference and convenience.
I’m very excited for other works to come.
AFJ. Alyssa - thanks for your comment - I have edited it a little to take out the “spoilers” - there will be plenty of people out there who have not yet read book 6, so we don’t want to give the game away. Hope you don’t mind.
Please oh please publish a new fairy path book! I just finished reading the last book & am excited to find out what happens next. Please publish soon! I love the series!!
Also I am not allowed to neither care for Facebook & just recently found your website & I would probably read your updates on here if thats possible.
& I would love to read another fairy romance book! I havnt got around to reading your other books & was wondering if those are fairy related as well? The whole fantasy genre is totally my thing haha.
Would the new possible book be able to be read on iPods ? Because I only have & iPod… But I would rather by choice read from a book since I just love the feel of books more than iPods etc & iPods sometimes put strains on my eyes.. Perhaps you will put that into consideration. (:
Take care!
