Little Surfs: Um...how old is Willow? And does she marry?????

Willow: Willow is 19 years old in that world, and 17 years old back home in the Veil {Earth World}. Very confusing. The reason is because we {D and I} wanted to be older in that world, and be younger back home {veeery confusing} so we are two years older in that world than we are in this one.
   And no, she does not marry. She/me will not marry until I/her do {tongue-twister! Try saying that five times fast!}. So if Willow/me falls in love, you can guess what's happening with me :) But in Friends and Enemies, Willow/me does not marry or fall in love. Although I've gotta admit, I thought it'd be cute.

Mary B: What happened to Liberty? (Willow's Kestrel) Are you going to kill off Tajoreth?

Willow: Liberty is happily in Essgarothe, being fed treats. She will appear more later, so be on the watch for that.
   And no, Tajoreth will live. Unless I decide on the spur of the moment to kill him >:) As you will see in upcoming chapters, he wasn't actually raised by his father {Tashmath} so he doesn't have such attachments to the Shadow as do his elder brother, Kedemeth.
   Quick note, I don't usually kill off my characters, so if you are attached to someone, no worries. They probably will not die. They might be put through agonizing pain {Willow, Betromith, etc.} but will 10 to 1 not die/be killed off by me. Unlike Steven Moffat {co-writer of Dr. Who (I just saw the Girl in the Fireplace) and Sherlock} and the D-ster (Darrion), I do not enjoy inflicting emotional pain upon my readers. Okay, maybe every/so/often, but rarely.

Ammelia Gabriella: I was wondering if Willow gets married as well :) Also, is Darrion going to be in this book?

Willow: (Sigh with smiley face) No. She does not marry {man, I should have chosen a different suggested question}.
   And D will make an appearance {watch for an unusual entrance}. Yeah, for you people who want to see D, be prepared. We worked on her intro scene. Yep, this is going to be lots of fun. She insisted on a certain way of introduction. No matter my protests ;)

[Interesting note: This quote that has been edited onto this photo, is actually mine and D's. I wrote the first part, and D added the second. Then it shows up on someone's Robin Hood board. I wonder why they didn't figure out that we made it up and that they didn't say this in the series?]

 

 

Be a Friend not an Enemy,

Willow
