Today, March 26th, I had the great pleasure of answering questions about The Black Spirit with a local book club! Although a bit nervous in anticipation of this event, the day was gorgeous, with the perfect setting in Margaret’s lovely backyard. The eight ladies present were wonderful and quickly put any residual anxiety to flight with their easy welcome. The questions were interesting and entertaining, with some fascinating observations added that thrilled my writer’s soul!

Thanks to all who made this first experience so enjoyable; to Marcy for organizing the event, Margaret for use of her beautiful home (and for the delightful pot of pansies celebrating the season!), and for the ladies who brought their quick wit and curiosity to enliven the day. It was an honor to be able to share the world of Akira Muro and Mountain Shadows with you. I enjoyed the questions and the suggestions, and hope to fulfill the request for a list of characters and a map of Caldala as soon as I can finish them. The most inspiring feedback of all was the interest in a sequel. With that enthusiasm, I need to finish the edit on Beyond the Veil!
