Deanna Beckham

I'm so glad yu liked it Deanna! I have been waiting anxiously for your verdict. I think the cover artist does mean that to be Matt and lots of girls do like that model - not you, obviously! I've nearly finished the first draft of Ships but am away all weekend at a writers' conference. It's getting pretty exciting now.

I hope you enjoy TFK too.

Oh I know it suppose to be Matt, I mean the people on the bonfires!!! It looked like a guy on it and I thought that was Matt on it!
I didnt just like it I loved it!
It was really good.

Geez, I've been gone for awhile!

Deanna, it's nice to hear that you finally got your book, don't say anything, I haven't been able to get it yet and it's driving me crazy. Schools been so crazy I haven't had much time to read anything other than my assigned books for school and the books my mom got me but said she wouldn't read until I read them!

I know that I haven't even read #4 yet, but I still can't wait for #5 to come out. Do we have any specific dates avaliable yet, especially in the US?

DeannaBeckham · 25th March 2009, 09:14 PM

DeannaBeckham · 25th March 2009, 09:15 PM

Oh how did the conference go?

Thanks for that info, Deanna. As of right now, my favorite is #2, but maybe #4 will change that.

DeannaBeckham · 30th March 2009, 04:05 AM

Well when you get it, let me know!
well the wait is worth it!!

And i know how the waiting feels...

luciano · 1st April 2009, 02:53 PM

I agree, the waiting, howeven long it may be, will be worth it when the book is in my hands.

Nice of you, Luciano!

Believe me the waiting is not always because the writer has been tardy in their work. (Though I am writing this instead of getting on with book five)

Im sure it must be hard to be a writer, all the pressure to make the book perfect and exciting!
and even harder to write the sequals, becuase they have to be as good or better then the last one!

But your doing a mighty fine job at it!

Deanna

luciano · 5th April 2009, 06:01 PM

I agree.

I really love the books, especially the second and third. I read the second book before the first because it was given to me for my birthday. The books are both fantasy and historical fiction (my favourite genres) and have helped me out quite a lot of times in italian lessons. I hope that the fifth and sixth books are as good as the others and even longer if possible

. Please make the hero/heroine of the next book a more likeable charecter than Matt was, I didnt like him very much and it ruined the story for me. I really love Sky and Falco/Nicholas and wish I knew them.

I just realised how boring this post is, oops, sorry.

Sorry you didn't like Matt, Freyaisabella. He was definitely different but I like him.

The current heroine is called Isabel (Isabella in Talia!). Maybe you'll like her?

I loved Matt. I thought he was cute and original. But Lucien is my favourite, of course, especially when he was all sweet and serious and British and not Talian-ised. You just wanted to hug him.

Anyway, that's great about the sixth book! It's great to know it's still going. I remember my devastation upon finishing COF and thinking that there would be no more ever.

But the real reason I came back here is because I'm studying Early Modern European History for AS, and while the main focus is Spain, there's a lot about Italy - and I'm finding so many parallels to the Stravaganza books! The Medici family, and the different states, etc. It's actually really made me remember the Stravaganza books and I'm re-reading them with a new interest in the Italian details. I don't know really what my point is, but I just wanted to say that it's made me appreciate the detail that went in Stravaganza. It's very cool.
