Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

Thanks to Andy for reaching out and to Michael for giving of his time.

Hi folks!

Thanks for the invite, this looks like a really active group!

Feel free to ask whatever questions about pretty much any topic and I'll pop in when I should be working and do my best to answer them.

Cheers!

I'm nearly a third through! I will certainly have questions when I'm finished.

Will one of those questions be "What the hells were you thinking!?"?

When I translated Opferlamm on my Kindle and it said sacrificial lamb I died laughing thinking oh this character is screwed!

I love reading your books on the device and quickly looking up the different names like the horse annoying or stupid.

I couldn't resist dropping little things like that in there. As I've mentioned before--though maybe not here, I can't remember--I never expected Beyond Redemption to be published. I figured only a half dozen close friends would read it. I was hiding Easter eggs for my friends. After that I just kept doing it. Mostly to entertain myself.

Hopefully the German in TMT is a little less painful to folks who can read the language. I got an actual German to fix most of the names for me.

I love looking them up so I'm not pained by them at all.

I still think you are crazy! lol...

That's funny (sacrificial lamb)! I didn't think to look up translations... although I already knew enough German to recognize "Arschloch", so I got a chuckle out of that one.

I'm done. Bravo that was excellent. The last 20% was cannot put it down action.

When Stehlan went back to the afterdeath my thought was she's going to kill everybody Wichtig killed so that when he arrives he doesn't have anybody.

So reflections are always trying to get out of the mirror? Ever think about going the other direction and a person trying to swap and get in?

P: I'm hopping in, you get out?
R: What?
P: Yes fuck this you have all the fun and get to torture me. It's my turn.
R: What are you playing at?
P: No games get the fuck out now.
R: No I don't want to.

Obviously you could expand upon it much better than I can, and twist it LOL, but that could be entertaining.

So glad you enjoyed it! I think I was about 80% into the book before I realized what the ending was going to be. I wanted the ending to be utter madness, everything coming apart at the seams.

That's an awesome idea, with the swapping back and forth. You got me thinking. Maybe a Mirrorist/Doppelgangist comorbidic character. Different personalities leave the mirror and take over depending on the situation. Every time one gets uncomfortable or can't handle reality they bail, diving back into the mirror and forcing someone else out. You never quite know who you'll face.

And thanks for the awesome review! Seriously appreciated!

No worries you deserve the praise the books are so thought provoking and fun.

I'm glad you like the idea. If it sees the light of day that would be awesome. Either way I'll be reading on.
