I haven’t done a “Readers Ask” blog post in awhile, and dang it, but I’m fresh out of blog ideas at the moment. Soooo….if anyone has any burning questions they’d like to ask about the books, writing, etc., etc., post’em in the comments and I’ll attend to as many as I can over the next few weeks (when I don’t have something else to rant about).

Please note…if your question contains a possible spoiler, please note that so no one’s surprised. Thanks much.

PS. It’s superbly sunny here in Michigan, making me all warm and optimistic. How about where you are?

Okay, we've talked many times about who would be best cast as Max or Sebastian, and even Victoria…but what about some of the supporting cast?

Who would you cast as: Lilith, Wayren, Aunt Eustacia, Verbena, and Ladies Melly, Winnie, and Nilly? Kritanu? And any other minor character?

So…where would you wear a vis bulla?

Where would you like to see a member of the opposite sex wear one? 

Okay, first topic open to discussion is…what do you think about Wayren? Who or what is she? Why?

(You'll find out for sure in As Shadows Fade, but there's a veryvery subtle hint in The Bleeding Dusk. Very subtle.) 

…and when I'll be doing the drawing from the names of people whose questions I've answered here on Readers Ask.

The answer is: when I get the ARCs (advance review copies), which will probably be in early October. So, that means you still have time to submit a question to be answered. Send it to questions at colleengleason dot com, and if I answer your question on the blog, you're entered.

I'll be giving away more than one copy.

Chris was asking for more information about The Bleeding Dusk, so here's a little more info about the story by way of a few chapter titles from the book (these are random, and in no particular order):

In Which Victoria's Idyll Is Invaded

In Which Victoria Develops an Acute Dislike of Sugarplums

In Which Our Heroine is Forced into a Gown and Its Accoutrements

In Which Our Heroine Finds Herself in a Compromising Position

Wherein Wayren Reveals a Disturbing Prophecy

Wherein the Merits of Italian Desserts Are Discussed After an Eventful Evening

Wherein We Are Reminded That Hell Hath No Fury 

So, there you go. A bit o' hints about the book. Which chapter sounds the most interesting to you?
