hey,Joanne, the idea of the Runemarks graphic novel is revolutionary (so to speak) and the artist who offered really seems talented. Can't wait for character sketches!

Mrs. Harris,
I have a question about 'Wildfire in Manhattan', a project you mentioned some time ago in the News section: Is it going to be in the book of shorts stories, and if so, what is it going to be called?
admiration,
Roxy F.

dear Joanne,
Runemarks was the best book EVER! I really wanted to enter in the Fanfic competition, but I found out about it too late to enter my story. Can I still send it anyway?
keep up the great work!

hi, i would just like to let you know i am using your book Chocolat for my personal study, for higher English. I am doing a character study of Vianne Rocher, and i have got a hold of the book The Lollipop Shoes, to try and find out a bit more about her. However i was wondering if you could give me a little bit about her character, maybe something you thought of while you planned her - not necessarily something i could read in the book.
i would also like to say, i love your books!!!
thanks ashley dee xoxo

I'm sure you'll remember when we met on the Brooklyn Bridge back in 2002 I believe. I said hello because it seemed you & your friend and my date and I couldn't find the entrance to get up on the bridge. We chatted for a while and I took some video frames of the two of you and later superimposed the 'Chocolat' billboard on the NY skyline, then sent them to you. So glad to see you have continued your successes. I'll bet if I looked hard enough I could find that footage as I've never throw out any of several hundred digital tapes. You were in the states for the movie's premier.
All the best,
Wayne

I have recently read Jigs and Reels and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the stories and your explanation for the writing of each one. Your initial remark makes each story much more realistic than it might otherwise be. Short stories are a genre I love as I can read one in bed before going to sleep, and Jigs and Reels was so good that I was truly sorry when I finished it. Thank you for such pleasure.

Dear Joanne,
Absolutely adore your novels - they're so captivating. 'Chocolat' and 'The Lollypop Shoes' are my all time favourites - I only hope that one day, if you're not too sick of chocolate, you'll write another sequel! They have the perfect mix of chocolate, france, and magic. Definately taking some of your novels with me while I'm in Europe over the summer - I hope there'll be room for clothes in my suitcase! Good luck with any future projects ...

Thank you Joanne for the rune necklace! I like it very much. I already feel like Fe is bringing me good luck... (actually, there was an incident today involving a gas leak in the house, which was miracuously uncovered by my dad before the stove was turned on to cook pasta).

Hi Joannne,
Im in the middle of a book called Pomegranate Soup.
Im concerned because I find this book VERY similar to Chocolat.
The story of course has some variations, however it is so similar that I almost know what will happen next.
This book was, I think written after Chocolat, and its similarities really bother me, especially considering its success.
Im sure you are aware of the story but it does bother me.
Anyway thought you should know.
Regards
R

Hi Robyn,
No, I hadn't heard of this book, but you're right; it was written about 8 years after CHOCOLAT, and it does sound as if it has some ideas in common. You know what they say, though; imitation is the highest form of flattery...

So, I started working on the Loki story. You know the one? It's not the best. If you give me your email, you can add your own part to it and I can explain my train of thought.

As a very young mum of two and a half children, the only other interests that I have time to involve myself in are writing, reading, artwork and lots and lots of cooking.
I'm delighted to say that I am a big fan, and reading your work is certainly no waste of time.
I loved the little story of the very expensive postcards with a free pot of honey. My dad's an old hippy, and now, thanks to that, is a fan also.
Please take care and keep filling the world with magic, one person CAN make a difference.
Sincerely, your friend, rose

If Runemarks had Modi bringing down The Order (more or less.) Can we expect to see the Universal City in Runelight?
Does Mangi live in the Valley of the Strond too? I hope he lives closer to the Order.
And I imagine the possessed Scatergood is the new antagonist. Yes? Or will I have to wait and see?
OH! And if Modi's human name was Maddy I can't help wonder what Mangi's could be. I would guess Matt except for the issue of Matt Law.

Hi Joanne, my name is Bob Le Normand and I have written a heroic fantasy novel, titled Kendulla. It has been published via the author assisted route, by Willow Bank Publishers. It has had good reviews and reader feedback has been great. Go to
www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Robert-Le-Normand/Kendulla for review. What I need is an agent to present my book to a publisher. I've been told by an agent that the form of my submission is fine and to try other agents,as they can't help at the moment. Do you have any tips that might help, please? Best wishes, Bob Le Normand.

Reply:

You could try reading my Nuts and Bolts section on this website - although the short answer is simply this: try another agent. And another. And another. Good luck!
