Hi! Huge fan of Anita Blake! With such a huge cast of characters, how do you keep track of all of them? Do you ever reflect on who's had attention lately to decide specifically who you want to include in a new novel, or do you sort of let them pop up when they want to?
Laurell K. Hamilton
Sometimes I do think who hasn’t been on screen recently and try to put them front and center, but most of the time the characters choose for me. One way I know I’m doing my job right is when characters become so alive they start making decisions I didn’t plan on.

I just finished Strange Candy. I would love to read more of your fantasy writing, especially material set in the Nightseer world. I also loved the short story "House of Wizards" and would like to read more based on that story line. Do you have any plans of releasing novels set in the Nightseer world soon?

You were born in Heber Springs? Me too. If fact, most of my family live just down the highway (through a little valley, over a creek with a dirt road that floods pretty much any time it rains). I've never read one of your books, but am interested in the polyamorous relationship (in books, anyway) and your name kept popping up. I'm definitely reading one now. Anyone have a recommendation on which one?

I have been a fan of yours for more than ten years now. I love your writing. I recently joined goodreads. I am enjoying my stay here. I read a lot of the reviews from several of your books and I was horrified by what some people were saying. How does this kind of negativity impact your writing?
