Reunion between Justinius & Tarsilia??
My plan was to post photos of the actors who I visualize for my characters while I'm writing. However, Blogger has been having emotional issues yesterday and today, and won't post my photos. (grumble, grumble). So when Blogger decides to cooperate, I'll be posting photos. In the meantime, you all have been sending in some great questions (keep 'em coming).
This morning, I'll answer Simone's question. Do you have any plans for a reunion between Piaras's grandmother and Justinius?
The answer is yes, but not yet. As you all are aware, my plots tend to get rather complex. And there are a lot of them. I've been wanting to do a Justinius/Tarsilia subplot for some time now. However, it has yet to fit in one of the books. Heck, I can't even wedge it in with a crowbar. I even have scenes already written for it, scenes I wrote a couple of years ago. It still won't fit. I have the same thing going on with other characters. Remember Alix and Parry from Magic Lost, Trouble Found? I have plans for them as well, but they have yet to fit. Raine's world is just so large and full of great characters that it's impossible to include them all in each book, or sometimes, like in the case of Justinius & Tarsilia, to include them at all -- or at least right now.
So for those of you with favorite supporting characters that you want to see again, I hope to be playing in Raine's world for a long time and eventually be able to get to them all.
Tomorrow I'll either answer another one of your questions, or post the actor photos if Blogger is cooperating, And on Wednesday, I'll be the Featured Writer over at Fantasy Debut. Tia Nevitt has graciously invited me over for a day of chat/Q&A. Come and join me for live chat on Wednesday.
I know it's Monday, but try to make it a good one. ; )

Hi :)
Thanks for sharing. To have so many ideas and great characters vying for your attention must be great. How do you decide which story to concentrate on?
Love & best wishes,

Once I figure out the main plotline for a book, it's a matter of going through my notes and deciding which subplots will help support or enhance that main plotline or just plain fit.
Thanks for the mention, Lisa! This should be fun!
I'm looking forward to it!
Hi Lisa!
Silly fact of the day: "Benares" is, according to Wikipedia, a type of Sari. Well, who knew?
I didn't know that. But it kind of makes sense. After I'd already named Raine, I discovered that Benares was a sacred city in India and the name of a steamer ship, the SS City of Benares.
I love how complex Raine's world is - I'm going to have a lot of fun watching as you continue to write it!
