Dear Christie Golden,

I am currently reading “On Fire’s Wings” and I have to say that I’m absolutely hooked! I love to read, and I read as much as I can! My friends think that I need to lay off of the books but I tell them the opposite: they need to read more. Anyway, I know that this supposed to be a reply but… I wanted to ask you something if it would be okay. What advice would you give someone who loves to write but none of her work seems good enough? She really does try but it doesn’t seem to work out. I really would appreciate it if you would please e-mail me your advice at: adeptrogue_haseo@hotmail.com. I know that you are busy but may you please e-mail me?

Thank you very much,
Sherly H.

I really do enjoy the final dance series. I have the first and second one. but I do have a question.
why put the third one in e-book only? not all of us can purchase it that way. actually I would really like it if there would be any way of getting published in actual book form.
I really want to continue enjoying the series and I am not the only one who thinks so. I have a friend who also would like very much to have the third one in book form as well.

Either way I really do enjoy your books and hope you continue to write wonderfully. Thank you very much

Following the trend, I am also writing about the alluring Final Dance Series. Yet, I have also logged unto your website to see that LUNA has decided not to continue furthering the intr of the series’ production. So I guess I am just writing to say: know that you have many fans for this particular series and lots of us would be more than happy to see this series completed. I say, even though making money off of books is an aim (no insult meant but people would give free access to their works if profit wasn’t an integral part of it), an alternative in a dead-end situation would be to post online at your website drafts of your books that are as completed as possible. Of course that would be if you’re ready for the torrent of adoring fanmail that would pour in as a consequence. I would love to personally hear from you if you would deign to respond! If you have no time or it escapes your notice, at least address this suggestion in your next post!
Hoping the creativity flows,
ChiChi

  The series was alright but not fantastic but I do feel ripped off by the fact that I spent so much time and my hard earned money on this series to be cut short. I agree with you about finishing the series it seems wrong to leave fans hanging forever.

Hey, first off I just wanted to say that I love your World of Warcraft novels, especially Arthas Rise of the Lich King. Read the book in two days because I couldn’t put it down. I just have one question, what tips can you give to someone who I trying to write his own novel, I have got a first chapter but that’s about it. HELP! >.<

Dear Christie Golden,

I just bought your Arthas: Rise of the Lich King via a friend of mine who lives in USA and can’t wait to read it.

Unfortunatelly this book probably will not be published in where I live(Istanbul/Turkey) We had “Lord of the clans” in Turkish and I liked it so much.I would be glad if Arthas will be published in Turkish aswell.

Thanks for all your imagination that you reflect us via your books. I adore your work.

Your Fan

Hi Christie,

I know this is rather an obscure request…

But, is there a book sequel to the animated tv series: “Invasion America” that aired in ’98?

(Would be nice to see where story goes from end of tv series… ) =)

Thanks,

What is going on with the Final Dance series? Will “Under Sea’s Shadow” (Book 3 in the series) ever be published in regular printed book form? What about the other books to complete this series? This is a well written and engaging series, but it is extremely frustrating that there appears to be no plans to ever complete it (that you’ve let your fans know of) and the fact that the third book in the series is only available in e-book format – that a format that I and many others – read. Please inform your fans on your website at least regarding what exactly is going on regarding your Final Dance series. It would greatly be appreciated.

Hey Christie,

I was wondering if you do local signings in the Larimer County area? I just found out that you live in the area and would really like to get your Autograph on the 2 hard-bounds I have of your books!

Thanks for your time

I have recently just started reading the WoW Lore novels. Yours are so good, I just cant stop reading them. I started a little backwards starting with Cata. My grandmother(63) is the one who started reading them before me not to long ago and we both agree that you do a great job. We would love to make it out there to one of your book signings at Blizzcon.

Either way take care, we will be reading many other novels by you!

Dear Christie,
I have been reading your books in the Fate of the Jedi series.
How do you write so well and so much so quickly?
I am truly amazed
Thanks, Luke

  Luke, that made me smile, thanks! I hit the ground running with my first published novel, Vampire of the Mists. Instead of working on a book on my own time and then selling it, I auditioned for the book, was accepted, and had to write it in three months. I think the longest time I’ve taken to writing a book since then has been five months. Generally my deadlines are three or four. That’s how I write so fast…but as for writing “well,” that’s a matter of opinion, and I’m glad you think so. 😀

Dear Christie,
Has LUNA decided to lengthen the Final Dance series/do you think you will finish writing it?

  If the Final Dance does continue (or perhaps I should say “when,” as I don’t intend to depart this earth without finishing it!), it won’t be through LUNA. I am currently working on getting the rights returned to me and exploring other options. Trust me, I’ll post here if there is any news!

Hi Christie, I just wanted you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed reading all 3 Final Dance series books. I originally picked up the first 2 books via a used book store, started reading them and were hooked. Had a hard time tracking down the third book, until I got an e-reader but loved that one too. Hopefully you can finish the series. I know I will buy them even if they are E-books! Thanks for the stories.

Christie, I am sure you are a busy person. I just want to take time to appreciate you for taking your time to do the interviews on the Instance and the Dark Moon Herald podcasts. I really enjoyed both of them. Thank you for all you do!

Christie,

First and foremost, welcome to Tennesee. I hope you like it here.

I just want to say thank you for being such a wonderful writer. The first book I ever read from you was, Vampire of the Mists. I was so captivated by it that I can still almost picture Jander on the last page staring….I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who has never read it but it is one of my favorite books and always will be.

When I found out you wrote lore books for my favorite game, World of Warcraft, I did not even have to question if they would be good or not. Your style not only tells a story, it takes the readers inside the pages as if they were standing next to the main characters. I have rarely seen anyone who can bring a story to life the way you can.

Thank you for all the work you put into your books. You are truly one of the best.

-Heather (Reader and avid World of Warcraft player)

  Thank you! It is a beautiful state! And thank you for your kind words…that vampiric elf has gotten me many readers. 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying the WoW books!

Hi Christie,
I want to start off by telling you how wonderful the Fate of the Jedi books were and how well the balance and storytelling was between you, Mr. Allston, and Mr. Denning. Last year, it was announced that you were writing a trilogy called Sword of the Jedi (me, being a Jaina fan, I was so excited!). But we haven’t heard any news about it at SDCC. Can you tell us anything about it? Thanks for the great books and have a great 2013!

  At this point, still no news. It will depend on where Star Wars stories go in the future, and as of today, I haven’t heard anything. Trust me as soon as I can talk about it, I’ll mention it here!

  Bonjour! Your English is much better than my French! 🙂 The books are out of print…for now… 😉 I hope to bring them back into print, perhaps as soon as this year. AND I hope to finish the storyline! Merci for your kind words!
