Jean Townsend

I do still have every intention of finishing my own game! Work and health are still miserable, but I’m saving as much as I can in hopes of at least having an early, Guen-writing retirement -- and some days that’s the only reason I get out of bed. But I do keep getting out of bed, every day.

All that is to say, yes, I’m still alive, and no, I have not lost interest in writing or in Guenevere!

same :)  I love him, but I’m also willing to make things very difficult for him, and I can’t wait to share all the different possibilities for character development that I have planned for him!

Sure; I think my ask box on the main blog is still closed because I was so overwhelmed, but I still like getting questions now and then! Though I’m not sure what to say about inspiration for the character personalities; I guess I just thought about the traditional Arthurian archetypes and what felt interesting and/or real to me about them? The fae pet will live as long as Guen does (yay)! Merlin will both stay odd and make more sense later, especially in Book III, where he’ll play a large role -- in fact, I’ve already written some of his scenes there. You’ll also get to talk with him for a while at the end of Book II. I have a rough plan for a Merlin prequel, as well!
