Q: "im MIA and i live is Australia and i was wondering when it will be released in Aussie (darkest mercy)"

I am told it will be out there in Feb 2011.

Q: Sorry, couldnt figure out how to contact you. I really really really want to read the Stopping Time series; Is it available ANYWHERE if you're not from the US? I'm Australian, and have tried buying it on every site I can find, no-one will sell it outside the US. Anything I can do??

I'm in talks with HC to make it available as an ebook in the UK & AUS, but sometimes things go slowly.  If all else fails, we'll have it in the print WL ANTHOLOGY that's due out in 2012. (I'm working on a much faster solution though!)

Q: Ink Exchange-tattoo artist paul roeI loved the tattoo done for this book, it was a great collaboration between two artists. Where is Paul Roe located?

A: Paul is here in DC. He has a studio called BRITISHINK.  He's a lovely artist (as is Cyn, who works there).  There are 2 new artists at the studio now too, but I've not been in for work in over a year, so I haven't met them.  I CAN tell you that Paul & Cyn are very safety conscious & are quality artists, so that tells me that their new artists are good to go too.  If you go see Paul or the lovely Cyn!, do give them my best, & do tell Paul that you, as you said, "loved the tattoo."    

Q: What are the bonus material in the eBook of Wicked Lovely? I just have the paperback book and wanted to know what it included?

Yanno, that's a very good question. . . which I can't actually answer very well. I give them all sorts of extras, and they pick some of it for this or that.  MY guess is that they included deleted scenes/alt ending, that sort of thing.  Anyone out there want to tell me if I'm wrong/right/close?

Q: I definitely miss Leslie. Will she be back for the last book or will we at least hear about her?

and

Q: I have read all of your books and love them. I just finished Stopping Time and I was wondering if Niall, Irial and Leslie will have a conclusion in your final book Darkest Mercy? I am dying to see more of them and a conclusion would be great!

Leslie will not narrate another novel. That's the plan. . . but umm, I didn't mean for her to narrate a short story either, so my plans do waver here & there.  You will hear abt her in MERCY though. . . you might even glimpse her. As to their resolution, I'm not sure how to answer that.

I'll try this:  Their situation is not a "love triangle" in the sense that there will be a two-person-couple in their future.  Some ppl go the 2-ppl-monogamy route, and that's perfectly FINE.  Others choose a less retricted relationship, and that's perfectly FINE too.  Iri & Niall have over 9 centuries of a relationship--mostly apart--and they both fell for a mortal. 

As to how much resolution they get by the end of MERCY, I'm not able to answer that (as it's spoiler territory). 

Q: is stopping time a novel or manga?

A. Neither. It's a short story/novella. Info on it is here.

Q: when is Darkest Mercy going to come out? is it the last book or will you do some novellas etc.? what is love is hell about?
what novellas do you have published about WL and will there be any more? btw i live in the UK

A. Mercy releases (in theory!) in February in the UK.  That's what they tell me.    It is the last book in this Wicked Lovely series. 
There will be an anthology of WICKED LOVELY stories out in 2012 in the US, but we haven't started selling rights overseas yet. 

Love is Hell is a collection of 5 short stories by 5 different authors. One of the stories is mine. It's a selchie romance story called "Love Struck."
