My dears, nothing I could write could compete with the vivid imaginations of the readers...so Becks, you are safe. No hot sex. Anyway, you're quite right, they're not those kind of books!


Nothing you could write could compare with the vivid imaginations of the readers? No they are all just nutters and there imagination.....er...lets say perverted..... :D

Could someone please tell me what Nerili and Saliman and Hem look like(hair colour, length of hair, ect), so I can draw them??

[Gemini]

Nerili was tallish, right, brown hair, olive skin, brown eyes (???), also b/c thorold reminds me thoroughly of Greece, i'd always imagined her to look greek, obviously :D
Saliman is black, tall, i can't remember hair lengh. One part of my mind is saying saved heed, (but thats prob my imagination) another part is saying shoulder length hair, hmmm
Hem is tall for his age, nearly as tall as Maerad right? balck hair, olive skin.. i have no idea what colour his eyes are, but i'll hazard a guess at blue.

good discriptions

Alison, I've just read the Gift and The Riddle and I really enjoyed them. I love the beautiful descriptions and the thoroughly likeable characters. I've just found this site and read the extra bits you wrote about Cadvan - excellent. I just thought that you wrote in the Gift that Cadvan was the youngest child in his family? Can't wait for the Crow!

[alison]

Phew - this one worked without making the thread disappear - I still don't know what happened to the Arkan thread! :( I've tidied things up a bit here so people don't have to wade through a whole lot of irrelevancies.

Hi Brockie, Emerald - and anyone else I may have missed - glad to see more Cadvan fans here! I'm still amazed by the responses to Cadvan, but I can't say I'm not pleased. It's incredibly gratifying! Don't panic about his absence from Book 3 (though he winds through the story, he's not entirely away), he'll be back in Book 4. In the meantime there's Saliman, who - I must confess - I think is pretty gorgeous in his own right. But I guess you'll need to read the book to see if you agree with me...

I'm presently doing the final rewrites for The Crow and the appendices, as well as a number of other things, so I'm pretty busy - but I'll pop in here as often as I can. What were those Cadvan questions that people were asking??

What were those Cadvan questions that people were asking??

Ahem ... with all the er ... partners that Cadvan has had (apparently), and the lack of *cough* protection (presumably), how come he hasn't knocked someone up?

I'm sorry I asked this terrible question, I really wanted to ask why he was so lovely but decided against it. ;)

[alison]

:D I'm quite sure the Bards, being practical and all, had very sophisticated means of birth control. Quite possibly women could simply decide if they did or didn't want to fall pregnant... (a knowledge now sadly lost).

I was curious as to what Cadvan was doing, and on who's orders, while sniffing around the Landrost when he got caught before the beginning of 'The Gift/Naming', and if you could give us an idea of what kind of cool trick he pulled to get out of such a sticky situation?

Emerald :) :) :)

i wonder if him going to the landrost was some elabourate plan set up by enkir and the forces of darkness who were going to kill him while he was there but cadvans outwitted them and escaped. of corse he never suspected enkir had anything to do with him nearly dying at the landrost but really enkir made him go there so he would die. thank god cadvans so clever eh?
