Just a few quick answers:
...You are all so awesome! Just a few quick answers:<br /><br />Sandy Rainey <br />I was happy to notice that you are a fan of Joss Whedon and his frequent collaborator, Marti Noxon. Do you have any particular favorite episodes, series, or movies?. I love Buffy and Firefly, but I'm an Angel gal. Of course, Dr. Horrible rocks!<br /><br />Dr. Horrible is fantastic - I so want Joss Whedon to write a full stage musical. I love Buffy much, and so many eps were so good! Of course, 'Hush', the silent ep and 'Once More, With Feeling', the musical, stand out, but there are many others. These days, I love Mad Men, although I'm very behind. <br /><br /><br />Tanya said...<br />What is your opinion in respects to Angels being the next Popular theme in the Sci Fi/Urban Fantasy genre?<br /><br />I'm very happy because one of my dearest friends, Stephen Smith, who got a big thanks in my acknowledgments, is putting the finishing touches on an utterly fantastic angels book. Overall, I think it's great as it allows for yet more exploration of conflict and personal character.<br /><br /><br />mariska said...<br />What's your favorite quote?<br /><br />Many! Mind if I give two?:<br />"Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little."<br />– Tom Stoppard<br /><br />"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."<br />- George Bernard Shaw<br /><br />Thanks!!!!Sarah Jane Stratfordhttp://www.sarahjanestratford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-11379460763265313192009-10-30T17:41:39.197-04:002009-10-30T17:41:39.197-04:00Sounds like a great read!

Am really loving the comments and que...Hi everyone! Am really loving the comments and questions - thank you so much!<br /><br />Couple more answers:<br /><br />Sue (okibi_insanity) said...<br />I'm looking forward to reading The Midnight Guardian. Do you any favorite books you would recommend?<br /><br />When it comes to absolute favorites, I always go back to Jane Austen. But I love anything that's well-written and engaging.<br /><br /><br />Kate said...<br />where did the concept for The Midnight Guardian come from?<br /><br />I always say that the idea got me, rather than the other way round. I'd love to peg what really set it off, but I had this notion of a female vampire trying to escape Germany and I couldn't rest till it had spun itself out.<br /><br /><br /> Cherry said...<br />Are you a planner kind of writer or does your story develop as you go along?<br /><br />It can be a bit of both. When I first get an idea, as with The Midnight Guardian, several scenes often come to me at once and I'll have to write them at breakneck (or, really, breakfinger) speed to be sure I get them down. (which is rather fun in a terrifying way if I'm walking around town or in a theatre waiting for a show to start) That usually gives me some interesting things to toy with. Once I feel like the bulk of that is out of my system, then I start planning. With Midnight Guardian, I had to be careful with my outline because there are three separate time-lines and I wanted to keep them organized. Which made it a lot more fun, actually!<br /><br /> <br />jellybelly82158 said...<br />Will you be writing a sequel to this one?<br /><br />Funny you ask! The sequel is due to my editor next week. I'm looking forward to a brief coma after that.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous said...<br />Why did you set your story during Hitler's reign in Germany? <br /><br />Well, like I said above, I got this notion of the escaping vampire and had to keep investigating it. Also, it gave me an opportunity to delve issues of evil and humanity in a way I had never done before and that was incredibly exciting. <br /><br />Thank you!!!!Sarah Jane Stratfordhttp://www.sarahjanestratford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-54628800059915727942009-10-27T10:00:35.614-04:002009-10-27T10:00:35.614-04:00Why did you set your story during Hitler's rei...Why did you set your story during Hitler's reign in Germany? walkerd@primus.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246595.post-4920881731119680242009-10-26T17:26:16.494-04:002009-10-26T17:26:16.494-04:00Congratulations on your debut novel.
