oooh, i saw a display of your books at my local angus and robertson. i nearly took a photo on my camera phone, but i don't know how to upload from there to here. so my mission is to go back with a camera at some point :D

AW! The interview was awesome! You smiled like I do when I'm talking... it's that turned down smile beacuase words are coming out. It's totally legit! And your answers were all good. You did great!

Great interview, Richelle! Maybe I should've interviewed you in Philly, that would've been interesting. XD

Love the interview. It's the first video interview I have seen of you. I LOVE your accent. Thanks for the link.

I will listen to/watch the interview when I get home. Dagnab work computer won't let me....

That's a great interview, very interesting. Thanks for linking it.

I don't hear any accent.

Ahem. People from Michigan do not have accents.

Of course they do. I was just teasing. I apologize if I offended anyone.

Great video. The ending about plugging on and being consistent was what I needed to hear today. Oh, and I'm so thankful that you do plan to end the series. I love all the series (just finished reading Storm Born, nice!), but it's nice to know that I'll actually have some completed book series in my collection. lol

You sound like everyone on my hubby's side of the fam. I lived in NY with a detour (is 15 years really a detour?) in FLA before living here for five years so far. I prefer Michigan accents over the NY ones I hear on my side.

Being from Michigan myself, I don't notice the accent! Actually, I never understood why people thought that people from Michigan had an accent because I was always under the impression that we talked just like any other!

That was, until I came across this website:

Michigan Accent Pronunciation Guide

Oooh I loved the interview a lot (even though I could only hear it not see it - my PC is going to drop dead any minute now :))! I just didn't imagine your voice to sound that, how can I say it, serious?! But it is very nice and what accent?

don't worry, what you were doing counts as a smile! i do it all the time!!!
Love Rose

Wow Richelle, your interview was great!!!! I've never heard you talk before this interview, and I don't think you have that much of an accent. I'm from North Carolina so I have a sourthern accent and I normally think everyone has a different accent from me, well everyone has a different accent, but I really couldn't tell you had one. But anyway, your interview was great and I can't wait for Blood Promise to come out!!!!

P.S. I know you probably don't care, but I have red hair too!!!

204 days until Blood Promise comes out!!!(Thats counting down to the last day of July though, hopefully Blood Promise will be out before the last day)

I'm currently a writer in the making. I write so much, and my friends read all my stories and books. They like them, but sometimes I feel like they're only telling me they like it because they're my friends. I don't know. When he asked you which part, beginning, middle or end, was most difficult, I said out loud with you, middle. It is really hard to figure out how to get from that beginning you plan and the end you know you want to happen. That's why my first book drove itself into the ground. I went in thinking I knew what I wanted, but I really only knew the characters, beginning and a vague end. So, I had nothing to write in the middle. Oh well. Now I've finished one book, have one as a sequel, and three I'm writing for fun. That's what I do with writer's block, I start a new story to keep my creative wheels turning, and sometimes the ideas I come up with for the new story work for the old one. Anyway, I can here the echo of a Michigander in that accent, but it's nothing compared to my little brother's Brooklyn accent. He sounds like Harry Potter. It's kind of funny. Anyway, great job on the interview. I think you really captured the difficulties and rewards of being an author. I can only hope that I can feel them too :)

haha when your living in australia, im fairly certain that Michigan..ers have accents XD

I grew up in extreme northern Indiana five minutes from the Michigan border. Listening to you talk, I don't hear any accent. Does that mean I have a Michigan accent (or I'm just unobservant)? I don't even know what a Michigan accent is... I did have someone tell me once I had a Chicago accent. I don't know what that is either, or if it's the same thing as a Michigan accent. I must investigate further... :-P

Great interview, by the way! :-)

u have a nice voice. yeah i pay attention to things like that...u did look a little bored/sad/sick at a few parts but no biggy. i look like that all the time. doesn't everyone...?

Great interview. When you said that the ending flies, that made sense to me. When I read your books, I always enjoy every part, but when I get near the ending, I can really feel them become something I can't put down =). I am heartily attached to your Succubus Blues series, but I thnk that Shadow Kissed has been your best book yet :D. I haven't read Dark Swan yet, but I plan to, and can't wait 'til your new books come out! :D.

It's kind of heart-warming to see somebody, especially whose writing I enjoy and respect so much, so passionate about what they do.

You do look really serious but not in a miserable, jaded-artist kind of arrogant way. More like you're focused and completely enthralled with what you're tlaking about.

^_^

I love the necklace you were wearing!
