Dear Catherine, I wonder how you invented the name "Sapphique'? Thanks.
Dear Natalia, just a word I sort of liked. It may be mix of Sapphire and some word ending in que, which is an ending I like. Unique?
Hello Mrs Fisher ! I read the Oracle Trilogy some times ago, and I really like it, but I always wondered : what happened to Miranys mother ? You never mentionned her, so I wonder :) and Seth, why this name ? Was he supposed to be a bad boy ? Thank you for writing, your books are brillant.
Dear Clara I don't think I ever thought about Mirany's mother- I just saw her with only a father. There was an Egyptian god called Set who was certainly bad, so that may have been in my mind, but Seth isn't that bad, is he.
I've been trying to write a story, but always struggle with the details of the plot. I can see the beginning and know what I want to happen in the end, but don't know what to write in the middle. Do you have any advise on how to go about writing a story with a full-circle plot?
Dear Lizzy I always have that problem. If you know the start, just start.You will find that the middle will develop as you write. I certainly know very little about what will happen in each chapter until I write it. But your imagination will do the work for you. Good luck
I am having trouble visualizing what Incarceron looks like on the inside. How can I draw a map of Incarceron to help me visualize it?
Dear owlteacher, well too much description is limiting. The Prison is too huge to be exact. I think you should just draw it as you see it. There is no right or wrong.
I haven't found Sapphique here in the US. Any idea when we'll get it this side of the Atlantic? (Can you tell I'm impatient to start reading it?!)
Dear Maura, thanks. The end of December, if all goes well. Look out for the trailer.
