ASK ME ANYTHING--Within Reason: Okay, just not about Lee Pace.
I had theĀ āfirstā Q&A on July 22 (it was a rush job, Iāll admit because it was the one year anniversary of finishing the first 360 pages @tkwrtrilogy before I added the next 137 pages @tkwrtrilogy2 of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil (July 14).
I couldnāt do it on the actual date--it would have been disrespectful to the memory of the those lost on July 14th in France on the exact same day. It was a slow day, but by no means uneventful. I did get to talk about The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy with a fellow author @kayelleallen.Ā
Also, it was Comic-Con weekend and people were watching from everywhere--I know, so was I (hence the slow day on my part)..

Who wouldnāt be distracted with Thranduil riding back into the SDCC 2017 majestically?
When I got a message from a reader (and tons of calls from my dad that I finally saw today after three agonizing months apart) with aĀ āšā face after being excited to want to talk to me, what could I do? I gave her four hours--two days at 12pm-2pm. Then I had to make sure the times were right--I have lots of readers outside of the US time zones (this one in the Caribbean), so with a little help @fortunatelyclevercandy, thank you, I posted as many as I could--I have someone from Ecuador reading, too.
Donāt MIX US UP: Iām doing this in 2017. Lee did this a long time ago (on Twitter--Iām on Facebook.) Besides, itās August when I do mine. That was so December.Ā Iām a girl, heās a boy. Heās tall, Iām short. He was in a movie, I wrote a book. (I get that a lot so Iām just spelling it out...and no, I donāt know if Mr. Pace is aware of TKWR Trilogy--and not from lack of trying by eager readers:
Iām FAN ART... (https://www.instagram.com/p/BVw1OW7hNxD/?taken-by=th.and.lotr.edits&hl=en) direct quote fromĀ Chapter XVIII: Losing ĆlĆŗriel. Thereās a lovely tag directed toward a certainĀ āLeeepFrog--official Instagram of Lee Pace). Love that dog and sunsets in Scotland.
Either way, aside from tons of questions thrown at me over this Trilogy, starting two other blogs: @eeveningpostcomics and @thegnotesots (July 29 & Aug 5, respectively), finding time to write has been difficult. Add my father learning how to send text messages (oh, boy š) things are getting a bit crowded. Iām still on schedule, if not ahead of it, but itās getting tighter now. This probably will be the last opportunity to get to me before the next one--which will happen after I finish Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen @tkwrtrilogy3 and begin work on the last book of the Trilogy, Book III: The Last Tale of Legolas LasgalenĀ @trenarnolegolaslasgalen (which also has an extended version: @tkwrtrilogylasttale).
I estimate at least 34 more months of The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy before everything is said and done.Ā
I am looking forward to it. Iām having a blast and my last review was awesome--my Dad liked what I got to read to him today.--J.
