Q&A with Alyson Noel discussion

This thread is for spoiler-friendly discussion & questions about Riley's series. Please be sure you have read Radiance if you are reading posts in this thread.

I love Bodhi and Riley. Their so different from Ever and Damon, but just as awesome.

I also agree about bodhi and riley I'm wondering if ur planning to pair them together in their afterlife

I am excited to see the series continuing from another point of view. Riley is a fun character, too!

I have to agree as well, that they will make a great couple if they ever get together

Hey, Alyson! When do you think we can expect the cover for DREAMLAND?

Hi Sammi-

Thank you for the kind words!

As for your question- When my publisher approached me to write a spin-off series featuring Riley, I jumped at the chance. I enjoyed writing her so much in Evermore, she ended up getting a much bigger part than I originally planned. So it's been a thrill to bring her back and give her her own set of adventures!

As a writer, I'm always itching to try something new, and so far I'm really pleased by the way readers have embraced her world and her story!

Hi Hayden-

Well, I saw a very early mock-up recently and I love it!! But I won't get the okay to show it until the final version is ready--could be a few months still!

Hi Janette-

While they definitely have chemistry, right now poor Riley is stuck at 12 and he's 14 sooo . . . later though, who knows!

Hi Abril!

Done! :)

She makes an appearance in DREAMLAND- in stores 09.13.11!!

In the next books,will there be connections to the two storylines in the Immortals and Riley Bloom series?

Hi Phailin-

In the final Immortals book, EVERLASTING, it will tie up everything that happened in the series and you will see old characters again . . .

In the Riley series, Ever makes an appearance in DREAMLAND that harks back to a scene that happened in SHADOWLAND!

Library suddenly got all your books. Yay! Love the Riley Bloom books. They're awesome!
Just wanted to say that:D

i bet ever will come into whisper i just know it i hope

hey alyson how many books will be in the riley bloom series

It would be awesome if Riley and Bodhi would be paired up :)I really wish that that is what would happen. Have you considered anything of sorts?

Shimmer is my favorite. So is Whisper. I'm confused about which of the two I like more.

AGREED! :D

How many books are going to be in the Riley Bloom series?

dear amazing Alyson noël. can i ask you something? Well i'm a little bit confused about the end of Whisper. I mean.. umm. Well. This question is a little bit spoiler. Is it Riley get 'something' with Dacian? not Bodhi? or is it just me that misunderstanding? hope you will answer me. Thank you <3

Yeah that is a bit confusing, but if you re-read the last part you'll get it.

Seriously how many books will have this serie?

I don't know if I still can ask questions here, but there is something I've been wondering about for years now. I've read the Immortal series, and then the Riley series. But why do Ever's and Damen's and the others' souls get reincarnated, but Riley and her parents (and Buttercup!) is "stuck" on the other side? Why won't they reincarnate?

I'm still hoping a new book will come out in this series.

I'm still in denial, there has to be another book am I right? *laughs nervously*

How DID Bodhi see Riley throughout the series?
