    Chris R
    Will you be writing more Young Adult books?

    You have started a series for the Silver dragons.  Will there be more series coming up for other septs?

    I love paranormals.  Are there any more paranormals coming up??

    Julie Mai        
    What kinds of contemporary books can we look forward to seeing you write in the future?

    Will you be witting anymore Dark Ones books?

    Are you going to be witting any other kinds of paranormal series?

    Erin Baldwin

    Have you ever considered doing an anthology with other big name authors such as Christine Feehan,Sherrilyn Kenyon, etc?

    Will Aisling ever catch a break? I truly enjoy all the adventure, but would love to have a chapter or two of her and Drake just BEING (not being torture or chased or at each others throats...maybe just a little insight into them).

    Are we ever going to hear Drake\'s side? Would love to hear his side of things!

    Pick Katie's Brain KatieCast #1

    Please note that there may be spoilers in the podcast. The following questions are discussed:

    First set of questions from smupright

    Question #1: Can Jim only take animal form or could he ever be in human form?
    Question #2: Has Aisling always had power inside of her or did it just come about with the 1st book?
    Question #3: Are all of the dragons inherently good or evil, or does it just depend on the sept?

    The second set of three questions comes from Catherine

    Question #1: Will there ever be a heroin over the age of 35?
    Question #2: Will you ever use ethnic vamps and women?
    Question #3: Will you ever do a series about the supernatural from another planet?

    The third set of three questions comes from K. Campbell

    Question #1: You mentioned that there were classes of dragons, Drakes
    grandmother for example was a reeve....what other classes are
    there...is there a gold perhaps?
    Question #2: Since it came out that Drake is a black dragon I have a two parter for that subject...Is it common for a dragon of another color to be
    wyvern? And, could he temporarily take over the Silver sept (if
    compensated well enough) and break the curse? Or does he not count
    because he is wyvern for the green dragons?
    Question #3: Drake has a place in the Caymans...I did not think it was a big stretch for this, but are the green dragons behind the Bank of the
    Caymans?

    A transcript of the podcast (including answers to the questions) can be found on Katie's blog.
