Oh, it’s okay, Kate, I think I only updated the look of the site about…a month ago? Maybe not even quite that. :) So you’re not doing so badly. :)

I’ve been meaning to do a post about the writing and creation of a comic book. I’ll … not do it in the next week or so, I’m sure, because I’m trying to finish a book, but if I don’t do it in the next month or so, remind me! :)

-Catie, who knew you meant QUEEN’S BASTARD. :)

Oops, meant the Queen’s Bastard not the Bastard’s Daughter (perhaps that’s a later book).

I love the new website look – guess that shows the last time I was here. :) ….and am also a big fan of your books, favorites hanging on Jo’s books (she resonates). Looking forward to the Bastard’s Daughter!

Can I ask you a question about your comic book? How did you go about writing that? I’m assuming that the graphics are done separately (maybe bad assumption there). But how long is a comic book in word count (relatively speaking), did you do that sort of in play or script format or do you write in bubbles over stick figures (actually kidding there – but I don’t have a clue about the process)? Just curious – sounds way exciting. Best Wishes.

Loved House of Cards. Finished it in 4 days. Would have been done sooner but I had to go to work…stupid work! But I took it with me and snuck in a little reading time there, too. Anxiously awaiting Hands of Flame!!! I have recommended the books to my friends on live journal and Myspace! Home you make the bestseller list!

Wow, I’m so glad I visited this site today! I didn’t know House of Cards was out. It’s on my shopping list for tomorrow. Can’t wait to get started! Off to email my friends about this.

Wow. My, that certainly makes me want to go finish up the revisions for book three, Darlynne! Thank you! I’m really glad it lived up to your expectations! *wriggles* :)

If my comment is in the wrong place, feel free to move it.

HOUSE OF CARDS ROCKS!

I practically ran to Borders when told it was in and then read non-stop. With Alban’s opening POV, everything else fell away and I felt as though I’d entered a hushed, sacred place. Your characters are a delight, so complicated and unexpected. I was afraid, after Heart of Stone, which was one of my favorite books in 2007, to expect as much again. So instead, you gave us more. Now I need to re-read House of Cards because some of your lines, seriously, should be quoted, and often.

Thank you so much.

In the church group, I did not like the 2nd one and I LOVE the sixth one. The icy white rim around the cross is really evocative and with the fog, very thought provoking.

In the flowers, I really like the first picture and loved the color in the sixth picture.

I like the first, third, and sixth pictures of the churches.

I would have to say, that the water grouping was my least favorite.
