Thank you both for writi...Dear Elizabeth and Marla,<br />Thank you both for writing me and sharing your thoughts. Changing the covers has been a painful decision, really. I love the first two very much, as well.<br /><br />Marla thanks for mentioning your concerns about Lotari to me. I can see where the change in him might seem abrupt. I guess in the back of my mind, when Lotari began to see the times Alyra Illuminated, he started to become protective of her. And his experience with Shaydon (Not to give away any spoilers) caused him to grow up and into his own. As I edit, I'll work on bringing that out a little more. <br /><br />Thank you again. I'm always glad to hear from readers. <br /><br />Blessings to you both!<br />Jackie CastleJackie Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069905579258709848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261125448971715903.post-69482203626736534602016-01-29T22:30:25.562-06:002016-01-29T22:30:25.562-06:00I'm so excited to read the next book in the se...I'm so excited to read the next book in the series! I devoured the others and I'm sure I'll do the same with this one.<br /><br />I'm happy to learn you're "polishing up" the first books. They were wonderful, but there were some spots that were a bit awkward. I love it when people show such loving care toward their art!<br /><br />Since you're refining the earlier books, may I make a suggestion?<br /><br />Lotari starts out as a rather unsure, immature youth. But then, (was it in book 2?) he's suddenly a mature, wise, fatherly figure. While I loved the transformation I did find it a bit abrupt, but I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if I didn't get enough of a sense of how much time passed, or what. Then again, I was so engrossed in the story, I was reading rather quickly and may have just missed something. Totally possible!<br /><br />Keep up the excellent work and can't wait for Ignited!!Marla Evanshttp://reclaimedhealth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261125448971715903.post-85988130822587075342016-01-28T21:05:57.707-06:002016-01-28T21:05:57.707-06:00Dear Jackie Castle,
I have fallen in love with you...Dear Jackie Castle,<br />I have fallen in love with your series, The White Road Chronicles. As an eighth grade student, these books have brought me great joy. I read all your novellas on a device I received specifically for this reason, and I listened to your playlists that helped inspire the books. The books are all a shelf in my room, where I can look at the covers. When I went to school, I showed the book to my fellow bookworms, and their response to the cover of Illuminated was amazing. They have been birthday presents for the past year. The cover immediately grabs one in, unveiling a dragon, the damsel seemingly in distress, and a dangerous journey, before one even opens up to the pages. The cover lets the reader imagine the appearance of Alyra to the readers. This is one of the hardest things about seeing the new cover. Alyra has fiery red hair that you can't ignore, but all my mind has come up for her is the mystery of what the common picture of her displays, like how she could easily be overlooked, but holds power to stand out, stand up, and stand strong. I am truly sad that you have decided to change all of the covers. However, I agree that some of the covers don't match, mainly the third novel, Emanate. Just because one or two covers do not match, I don't see the need to change them all. Thank you for reading this comment!<br />ElizabethElizabethnoreply@blogger.com
