Shannon Messenger:
I heard a lot of people talking about you writing short stories for keeper of the lost cities. Have you finished any of them and if you have where can I read them?

Yeah, I don't know why I'm getting so many questions about this. So hopefully this clears up all the confusion. The thing is, while I plan to SOMEDAY write the Great Gulon Incident as a short story from Keefe's POV--and maybe a few other short stories as well--right now none of them exist, nor will they exist for a long while because I have a LOT of contractually obligated writing I have to do first. Alas, alack.
Some people also saw me answer that KEEPER originally started as a short story I was writing from Fitz's POV (before I realized the real story was about Sophie--and that it was definitely not a short one!) and have asked me to share that. But alas, the story was so drastically different from where the books ended up after I did all the world building and character building, etc, that sharing it would only confuse everyone so nope, that one stays with me. And trust me, you're not missing out--it's terribly written! I had a lot of practice to do before I became a better writer.
