I just came to reead the first Immortals series book 3 days ago and today I finished Shadowland. Not a usual thing for me, especially that I'm a bit older than target audience. You teach kids beautiful things in these books, I can compare the feeling with what I had when I read Lewis's Narnia Chronicles. So keep up with your Way and let all you close ones be safe.barilottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216250917781010734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-1983317175049484592010-01-18T08:42:28.057-08:002010-01-18T08:42:28.057-08:00Hi Gnat- Thank you so much, I'm thrilled you e...Hi Gnat- Thank you so much, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!<br />:)Alyson Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897651759587675373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-24564105443747507812010-01-18T08:42:13.498-08:002010-01-18T08:42:13.498-08:00Hi SV- Thanks for all the kind words- I really app...Hi SV- Thanks for all the kind words- I really appreciate it! To answer your question I decided to get my first book published because writing was always my dream and at that point in my life I figured I'd put off my dreams long enough and it was time to go after them! I made this happen by taking writing classes, reading books on the craft, studying the market and learning what I could about publishers and agents, and, of course, writing the best book I could at the time. After a few years of trying, an agent signed me, and sold my book to St. Martin's Press and I've been writing for them ever since!<br /><br />Hope that explains it!<br /><br />AlysonAlyson Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897651759587675373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-78683565175339474742010-01-17T21:09:25.776-08:002010-01-17T21:09:25.776-08:00i just read the book two minutes ago and as tradit...i just read the book two minutes ago and as tradition i skipped to the computer to look up the sight.

This is my first blog/comment I have...Dear Alyssa,<br /> This is my first blog/comment I have ever written! I hope that this will help me find what I am looking for in life. I figure its worth a try. I want to know why you decided to publish you first book. I am sorry if you have already answered this question. I read evermore, and I am still on the other books. Ever was so confused about her life, she didn't know which path to choose. Love Damen and be with him forever, or life her life like a normal teenager. I feel I can relate to Ever. She was given a gift, to see moods, and I was given a gift as well. My however doesnt allow me to see moods or hear voices. Writing is your gift. How did you gift get discovered/ who did you trust your gift with? If your to busy its ok you dont have to answer. thanks for your time. toda raba (thank you)<br />SVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-46777722486227293242010-01-11T07:20:09.728-08:002010-01-11T07:20:09.728-08:00Thanks, Jeanette!
