I just want to thank you for your blog. I really enjoy it as well as all of your books. I am excited I got the Relief Society in my ward to choose Goose Girl for our next book club read. The Actor and The Housewife would have better discussion I think, but I know there are some ladies that just can't handle it.

Katie

Is Midnight in Austenland a sequel to Austenland? Is it an adult book or YA? Cause I can't tell you how much I loved Austenland AND Actor and the Housewife.

Karen Adair

You're too funny. But that's what your readers love about you so much. Seriously. :) Take care of yourself.

Christy Grigg

I'm assuming you're going to take a break from writing when the little ones arrive...do you plan to continue writing at some point though (I'm also assuming yes to that question, but want to make sure;). I just don't know what I'd do without a new Shannon Hale book, at least someday (I guess I could read the other ones over again, oh wait, I already do that!). I'm sorry if you've already answered this one, but do you know when Midnight in Austenland will come out?

Good luck with the bed rest. Hope you're feeling alright!

Ennafan

Good luck with your twins! How'd you tell Maggie and Max about them?

Taiger

I understand privacy, but I have wondered what you look like with two babies in the belly. :)

hwalk

Are your twins identical or fraternal? And I know you can't answer that yet, but I'd like to know. Sometime.

Margo

Will you ever do another book for books of bayern or princess academy because whenever i go into a book store people are always asking if you have written another book or if you are going to.

Princess Loucida

You said in one of your previous posts that you like to think of Mt. Eskel and Bayern on the same planet but different continents and different time periods. Do you think of the Eight Realms the same???

Marie

Do I detect a Knight's Tale reference...? :)

Adena

When you start traveling again will you ever come to Israel?Pretty please with sugar on top?

Jen

Haha on the burning questions.

Dr. Sallie N. Cheinsteen

Do you know yet when Midnight in Austenland will be coming out? No pressure, but I love the title too, and want it right NOW. Just kidding. Eat your steak. You deserve a break.
But really, can you say when it's coming out? :) Is that annoying to ask?

Jer

What is a day in the life of Shannon Hale? How do you handle writing with two kids? (I won't ask about four because I bet you'll climb that mountain when you get to it...)

Amber Powers

How many hours go into a book? Do you often change the story a lot after you've written several drafts?

Have you experienced the "out of synch" hiccups yet?? My co-workers (and my daughter) couldn't keep their hands off when both babies were hiccuping at the same time, but in different rhythms - like little jungle drums in there!

ashley

Do you know when the audiobook of Forest Born will be released? I love listening to them on my IPOD while I clean and ignore the fighting little children in the background :-).

BigHugeFan

Repeating Adena's question/request... :)
Come to Israel!! (Please?)

Chelsea

I absolutely love your blog. It's inspiring to someone like me who writes nearly all the time...and you're so funny :] Books of Bayern are some of my favorite books in the entire world. I'm completely in love with Razo >:D

Rinna-Girl

I think Little Red from Little Red Reading Hood once made a Forest Born cover in the style of Alison Jay.

Here's my burning question: Why are you so gosh darn awesome?

That is all.

Princess Luna

I never new you were having twins!I've atcually always wanted to have twins.I was wondering...do you get stressed out frequently with being a mom,a wife and an author?And also how do you manage to get such beatiful words on paper?....I get so excited about writting sometimes I completly go blank and I have to pace in my rooom to get my words flowing again.And will you be writting another YA book again soon...ish..?

Princess Luna

Soory but I forgot to ask,any chance you can come to Reno to sign books?

Princess Loucida

One more question, How do YOU rewrite? I think I have a good system worked out, but I'd like to hear how the professional's do it, :D.

Carlie Stevens

I've read on your blog how much you love graphic novels, and so I decided to try them out. And the more I read, the more I love them! (I heart Rapunzel's Revenge and Calamity Jack!) I was wondering if you had any suggestions for more good graphic novels. (Not only good story-wise, but also good "ratings"-wise.) Any ideas?

Superfan

Will you be writing a sequel to Princess Academy or Book of a Thousand Days?

Robyn

You graphic novels are a huge hit at our house. They are "the gift" when our kids give books to their friends. My son was a reluctant reader until Rapunzel's Revenge opened the door to graphic novels for him. I have enjoyed other graphic novels you've suggested here on your blog. Outer Suburbia was one I loved. Any new graphic novels you've loved lately? Any graphic novels in your far future? (Congratulations on the twins.:>)

rinna-girl

heeey!!!!

i just wanted to tell you that you are so darn awesome and keep writing 4ever!!!!!! One request tho... cld u PLEEEEEASE write a fifth book of bayern???? it would be a dream come through!!!! :)

Je Reve

What else do you want with your medium-rare steak?

mirigirl

how many kids do you have/will have as of next year and what are their names?

S.M.T.

Dear Shannon Hale,
I recently re-read The Goose Girl for the first time in many years. For some reason, the way you talked about 'people-speak' stuck with me. I noticed that certain people have a sort of charisma that makes people want to be friends with them and allows them to do things that would otherwise be considered unacceptable. I was just wondering if you had had past experiences that prompted you to include people-speaking in your book.

KDF

Can you tell me you email so I can email you? I tried through contact but my computer won't let me. Thanks for your fantastic books!

Emma

I'm glad you wrote when Forest Born is coming out in paper back. I've been looking all over for one. Quick question for you: will you be writing another graphic novel? A sequel to Calamity Jack, maybe? I love your graphic novels... I've read them at least five times each!

Katie-wa

There are a lot of things I'd like to steal from Libba Bray. Like her genius funny brain.

Christy

I already asked you this question in e-mail, but are the other countries in the Goose Girl series based on actual places? I was thinking Ireland for Kel and Greece for Tira.

Raindrops

I enjoyed this blog. Thanks again Shannon!:)

How come the River Secrets book doesn't just have the water speaker?

aax

Are you going to try to write a mud speaker book?

aax

Will Rinna in the Forest Born book ever return to the city to join her girls?

aax

I just LOVE your books!!! I hope you write another one for young adult soon.

yakx

Do you think Bettin can be one of the four girls?

yakx

How come every cover except for River Secrets only has one person? Why didn't you make the covers of Forest Born, Enna Burning, and The Goose Girl be paired up too?

aax

I'm trying to keep a collection on a word document of what books I read from you. Please write MORE!

BethBEAS

Probe not included ha-ha!!

Ohh! No covers by Alison Jay? I loved the covers she did!!! Like a painted plate that was shattered then glued back together!
very, very pretty in my opinion. Good luck with those twins by the way!

yakx

What are you going to the twins?

yaks

Sorry for the mistake!!! When are you going to have the twins?

a

I love the Bayern series and I would be so depressed if you didn't continue on I would be so depressed. Please, Please, dobt stop and I think I speak for everyone here!
