Froi of the Exiles
Here are a few answers to questions I get asked about the upcoming Froi of the Exiles.
It’s definitely 15+ in age group.
It’s important to read FoTR first. I don’t think the reader will truly understand Froi’s need for a bond and how far he's come as a person without understanding his actions and relationship with those from FoTR.
The difference between the Charynites and the Lumaterans is that the Charynites have a very self deprecating sense of humour whilst my beloved Lumaterans don’t have a sense of humour at all.
It has a big cast of characters (but you should be used to me by now)
Yes, there is definitely a love story (or two or three or four) in the novel and not just between men and women. The relationship between brothers, fathers and sons, between women who were never meant to be friends, and men who have betrayed each other, is really quite fierce.
Froi's love story was the most difficult because I had to find the beauty in a relationship that begins out of deceit for one, and duty for another.
This is an exchange between Froi (as the imposter Olivier) and Quintana.
‘A kiss is the prize?� he asked sadly. ‘Even more than giving
me the rest of you? It should be the other way round, Princess.
In the real world, it’s called courting. You let a lad kiss you and
then you offer him more.�
‘Let me tell you something, Olivier,� she said with tears of
sorrow in her eyes, ‘this is my real world.�

I am so ridiculously excited...there aren't really any words. I'm just going to try and read everything else and not think about how time seems to be slowing down in wait.
Oliviasbooks, thanks for the heads up! Suprisingly, Fishpondworld DO deliver books to Russia... The question remains whether they send it directly to me (we are in the same time zone with Sydney) or let it travel throughout the country to Moscow and then back to me. It's gonna be a long wait...
