Tracy Paglione asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

I have heard that if you could you wouldn't write about JC . Is this true? If so, why? To me Micah and Nathaniel are too accommodating to Anita most of the time. JC tells her the way reality is whether she wants to hear it or not and we all need someone like that. Also Asher is becoming a real pain in the rump.

Laurell K. Hamilton I tried to write Jean-Claude out of the series in book three, Circus of the Damned, but I couldn't do it. I realized that both Anita and I would miss him too much. I tried again in book eight, Blue Moon. Once I realized Jean-Claude was here to stay, I don't believe I ever said I didn't want to write about him. My instincts were right on one thing though, by letting him stay in the series past the early books his special brand of vampiric powers changed the direction of the series from what I had planned.

Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

Will the new series of Merry (which I have read at least a dozen times and live for) translate to our current political, economic and racial climate?. I've always pictured Darkness as African although I know he is meant to be a shadowy jet dark. There is something about the light and darkness that has become the norm. Anyways fingers crossed.. I can't wait for more.. I love your work! Nightseer, Anita read them all:)

Jason Liegois

Jason Liegois asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

Hi, been a fan for the past 3-4 years, and have enjoyed the evolution of Anita's character during that time. When do you think we are going to see Anita reunite with her biological family (father, stepmother, half-siblings)? I'd have to think that would be the next step in her personal evolution, confronting her past from the perspective of who she is now.

Trish

Trish asked Laurell K. Hamilton:

I watched your Book talk Nation interview the other day. My question is have you thought of the title and author of the brilliant book you started with for research on the fae? What about the book on the folklore? One and the same? I can't wait to read the next Merry book! I tend not to resurface when I am reading one, so I'll have to do it on a weekend or my kids will miss me. =)
