This is something I've been meaning to do for a while, and here at last is the start of it -- I'm adding some educational 'Dreamdark' content to my website. So far, all I've done is one page that goes into detail about the characters' names -- since almost all my names come from nature or folklore, there's a lot of fun stuff to tell, and HERE it is!
I have more planned, including a world map labeled with the faeries' place names, and a gentle conservation screed, and an invent-your-own faerie game, and stuff like that. But this is it for today. Man, can I get lost in cool facts. Check out that stuff about the size of Betelgeuse! Does not compute.
I love the new webby stuff. very interesting tid bits. That talon footage is unbelievable! and the size of Betelgeuse is reDICulous!
very nice. good work.
and I have been that cause of at least 10 people I know of to read Dreamdark and they all loved it as much as I did. See there? You're a genius. How does that feel?
I Like the new addition to your web site and congratulations on the soon to be new addition to your family! Your child will be the coolest kid at school with a pink haired writer Mama! XO, Melba
Ha-ha! Hadn't seen that commercial before, too funny. I'm not sure if I'd want to know what my cats are really saying to me, heehee...
Love your new facts page - I never would have guessed that vanilla was extracted from orchids! I think I had pictured the beans hanging in pods from trees... What fun to create your own fairy character - this would make such a cool game for kids...
Btw, there's a small award awaiting you on my blog.
I'm a writer & artist. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Jim (also an artist) and our small daughter, Clementine Pie. My novels are Dreamdark: Blackbringer, Dreamdark: Silksinger, and Lips Touch, which was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award. My next novel, Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Little, Brown) will be out September 27, 2011. I believe our dreams are REAL THINGS, not wisps and air, and it is our job in this life to make them come true, because no one else will do it for us, and because this is our one and only "wild & precious life"!

I love this, can't wait to see the map. In fact I would have loved to see a map in the book. I hope you will include one in the next book.
