Questions?

[merlinscribe]

If you have general questions about the World of Obsidian and its lore, post them here and I will answer them as best I can. I say "as best I can" because I have been working on this series since the late Cretaceous period and I may no longer remember some answers.

Big fan of your Obsidian books. Can't wait for May when the 3rd Dragon Prophecy is out! I'd like to reread the series before then. Where's the best place to buy a set? Just curious--what parts are written by you and which by Mercedes? Would be interesting to know more about the writing process on co-authored Fantasy books.

You can reliably find the ebooks on Amazon, and the hardcovers/paperbacks at your nearest bricks and mortar store. Or you can buy those online as well. These days, the small independent bookstore is rapidly vanishing, alas and woe, and most people, including yours truly, consume media from online sources.

As for what is written by whom, it's rather a case of taking a jar of chocolate frosting and a jar of vanilla frosting and combining them. And oh yes, there are hazelnuts. Ms. Lackey usually gives me an opening scene and a handful of characters, and then I start the book and she throws in various scenes for me to add. She'll often write the ending as well. And of course if I get "stuck" she'll help me out. Of course, her idea of helping me out is usually to say: "Kill a main character!" Take that as you will.

Thanks for your response! That's an interesting process, although I hope you don't take her advice on the killing part haha.
