I’m interested in purchasing a signed book from you as I did last year. Will the Three Goats Gruff bookstore be taking orders for this? I’d love to meet you in person but North Carolina is a few miles away from UT. Have enjoyed your False Prince series. Thanks
Try ordering from here: https://www.kingsenglish.com/book/9781338275902
If you want your name in the book, be sure to put the name you want signed into the notes box.
I’m a fellow North Carolina fan too! Hopefully ur able to get urself a signed copy <3
Ahhh! Congratulations on the new book! Can’t wait to read it!
Hey miss Nelson quick question
Do you have to sign up for both of the meetings (for zoom) or are they going over the same thing?
They will be the same thing, more or less, though the Q&A is likely to be different.
I’m so excited! I might be able to only make thirty minutes of it-I hope it’s okay that I registered. I’m going to buy a copy…Looking forward to it!
#3 and 4 sound great, but that whole travel thing…
Happy to participate virtually. My family will be there for option 1. Thanks for having really great options for fans near and far.
So excited for the launch events! I can’t wait to read The Shattered Castle and hear from all of my favourite characters again. :DD Thank you for the virtual events; I’m so glad that I can be a part of the experience and fun!
Can I just go to all of them? XD
You can, but they will be the same thing, more or less, though the Q&A is likely to be different.
Will the virtual launch parties be recorded? I don’t think I’ll be able to make it, but I’d love to watch later!
Hmm, I don’t think they will be recorded and posted, so sorry.
I can’t wait!
Registered! Wish I could go to the In-Person launch but….I’m already going to see you at FanX😁 Can’t make 2 trips to Utah in 1 year 🙈 lol
Just wondering….when/how are the winners of the Dedication competition from last year going to recieve their copies? Can’t wait to see the physical book!❤
SUPER EXCITING!!!! EEEEEKK!! I just CANNOT wait for this book to come out! It is the hardest wait ever!!!!!
I’ve never attended a book launch, in person or online! So excited to be registered for the online option; it’s amazing that there’s an option for everyone!
Congratulations on the launch of The Shattered Castle! I came across The False Prince back in 2017 when I discovered the trilogy (when it was just a trilogy) in a book store that was going to permanently close. Every book was extremely cheap, so I decided to buy the trilogy and luckily I happened to buy a signed copy of The False Prince. This year, I read the Captive Kingdom and have been eagerly waiting for the final installment of this wonderful series!
My question for you is: how do you approach world-building in your stories, particularly with the Ascendance series? How do you come up with the names of countries and their culture? How do you build a world that is immersive and believable? I’m currently working on a high-fantasy story and the hardest aspect of planning this story for me is creating a world with a rich history. I would be very grateful to hear your insight on world-building!
Thanks for your compliments! Understand that with world building, every decision is going to impact other aspects of the world, which will then impact your story. Try starting by creating a map, because that will force you to make a lot of key decisions: how many rivers or mountains or desert or jungle areas. What countries surround yours and are they friendly? Consider how cities form in real life: usually along waterways or near ports. Those will likely be your bigger population areas. Just by putting the map together, you will already be well on your way to making key decisions for your story. Good luck!
my friends and i are so excited to attend the second launch! we know the book will be well worth the wait! thank you for continuing to write such awesome work 🙂

I’ve been wondering, is there going to be another Ascendance month? I would LOVE to get TSC signed…
I can’t wait!

Oh my gosh I’m so excited!!! I can’t be there in person because Utah is far away, but I’ll definitely attend the virtual one.:D
Hi! This is a random question, but it popped into my head. Has Imogen ever visited her mother?
Yes, which will come up in Book 5.
Ooh! Can’t wait!
Is there a limit in the amount of people that can come to the in-person launch? I would really love to come!
No limit on the in-person launches. Thanks for asking!
Congratulations on the launch of The Shattered Castle! I remember first getting this trilogy as a random buy from a permanently closing book store and I definitely don’t regret it. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the final installment of this series! I really hope Jaron is able to live the rest of his life in peace and happiness with his found family, as it seems something always disrupts his life. Roden has been my favorite character throughout the series, as his development from trying to be something that he isn’t to finding worth in himself in what he is meant to do was compelling to me.
Definitely – that is always Roden’s hardest battle.
so excited for this new book!!! when i heard this was coming out i literally went to my library and started reading the whole ascendance series in order to be ready for this!!! i absolutely love this series!!!!
Same!!
I love your books! Sage is one of my all-time favorite book characters ever, I read all 4 books in 4 days! I can’t wait for this book launch. Here is a question i have: How do you come up with such strong characters in your books? They all have some similar aspects, but each of them are so unique too. When i write, I always end up taking so much time figuring out one character, that the others aren’t what i want them to be. Do you have any tips on that? Thanks!
Hi Molly;
Try pulling a single underdeveloped character into your life for a while, asking them questions that have nothing to do with the story. Find out what kind of music they like, what they do for fun, what they’re good at, and especially, find out their secret. Let them hang out with you until you get a stronger sense for who they are.
Just registered! Looking forward!!!
Will there be a special page to submit questions and stuff, or do we do that here? or do we ask them at the launch?
You can ask them at the launch!
