Here is the second question.

Koren remembers a nasty name she once called Wallace. What was that name?

Starlighter Tour Contest Begins!

Let the contest begin!  (See this link for more contest information.)

Here is how it works. I will ask a question from Starlighter. If you know the answer, post a comment with the answer. Comments aren’t automatically published right away, so you won’t see your comment unless I approve it. The system sends me an email every time someone posts a comment, so the first email I get with the correct answer will be entered in the drawing for the cloak and sword.

Since I will be involved in many speaking events during this contest, it might take a while for me to process the answers, so please be patient. I will publish only the first correct answer, so you don’t have to worry about a wrong guess being put on public display. I will be the only one who sees it.

If you qualify and are put into the drawing, please don’t try to answer any further questions. Only one entry per person is allowed, and it will help if I don’t have to check to see if people have entered before.

Here is the first question.

Koren has a memory concerning what her father used to say to her, and she whispers it to herself as she is going to sleep. What does she whisper to herself?

Tour Contest Questions Begin Tomorrow

I will begin asking questions tomorrow (April 15) to allow blog readers a chance to enter the contest for the Starlighter Tour grand prizes. See this link for details.

All My Books

With Starlighter coming out, soon to be followed by Masters and Slayers, I have received many questions about my list of books and how they fit together, so here is a list of my books and an explanation that, I hope, will answer potential questions.

I have published thirteen novels:

I Know Why the Angels Dance - standalone novel for adults. Also suitable for teenagers.

Dragons in our Midst has four books (readers are 10 years old and up)
Raising Dragons
The Candlestone
Circles of Seven
Tears of a Dragon

Oracles of Fire has four books. It is a sequel series to Dragons in our Midst. (Same age range but longer in length and deeper in scope)
Eye of the Oracle
Enoch's Ghost
Last of the Nephilim
The Bones of Makaidos

Echoes from the Edge as three books. It is unrelated to any of my other series, and readers should be at least thirteen)
Beyond the Reflection's Edge
Eternity's Edge
Nightmare's Edge

Dragons of Starlight has one book so far, Starlighter, and it is unrelated to the three series above. It has the same target age range as Dragons in our Midst.

It will have three more books that don't have firm titles yet. This is a series for young adults (teens to adults but pre-teens can enjoy it as well). The second book in this series will probably come out in early 2011.

Masters and Slayers is a novel that will extend the story in Dragons of Starlight, but it will have a different series name due to the fact that it is being produced by a different publisher. It is complete and is scheduled to come out in September of 2010.

Masters and Slayers is designed for adults but can be enjoyed by teens as well. You don't have to read this book to enjoy the Dragons of Starlight series, and you don't have to read Dragons of Starlight to enjoy Masters and Slayers, but readers of both will get a lot more out of the story world. There will be one more book in that series. No title yet.

I will also produce a new series called Children of the Bard. This will continue the story world created in Dragons in our Midst and Oracles of Fire. There will be four books, the first of which will be called Song of the Ovulum. The first book is scheduled to come out in the spring of 2011.

I also have two non-fiction books for men: The Image of a Father and Spit and Polish for Husbands.
