Keepers of the Flame by Robin D. Owens

I'm first!

I see the change has hit, so be patient while I stumble through this and list my questions again for readers of Keepers of the Flame.

I REALLY want to know (in spoiler white)

I wanted to do a book where one twin returns to Earth.  First, did any of you go back and forth wondering which twin that would be?  Also, did the Raine story work for you and if so was it too much of a surprise?

Many thanks,

Robin 

Love this new format and all the extra helps in posting and writing html without knowing html ^_^

However, I do missed the numbering

Once all the bugs get worked out it will be great Sapphire.

We hit a big pot hole the other day and it snapped our brake line. Now I can't convince my DH that it is necessary to put more break fluid in and hope it works long enough to take me to the book store. It works for taking our DD to school but that is less than a mile away. So, I guess I have to wait until we get our brakes fixed before I can go shopping. <pout>

Robin, cool !

Robin, you did an excellent job weaving this story. I loved it. I had a pretty good idea which twin would choose to return home. She seemed more grounded with Earth and the life she would have had to leave behind. The other was more free and, IMO, had a deeper connection with the man of her choice in Amee. Sheesh, I miss the white font. Raine will be quite the interesting character in the next book, which is way to long to wait for. She was a surprise in the maonr of her arrival but I think it added a wonderful depth to the story. The shock factor added spice.

Sapph, please tell me that sometime in the future we will get the ability to change the font color again. It is very hard not to write a spoiler when you really want to discuss the book in depth.

Ame, email me please. If you don't have my email any longer, I'm sure Sapph would be willing to share it with you. I'm not sure if it is listed anywhere on my bio page. I haven't checked that part of the new layout out very well.

Wow, thanks.  I'm always nervous about the release of my books, but Keepers of the Flame was written in such a different way that I really worried.

I tried to make you go back and forth as to which twin would stay or go.   And since I wasn't able to devote a full book to the Seamasters (synopsis of Seamistress may someday go up on my website on my Worlds page), I'm pleased with Raine's story.

Ah, both twins' story were told and the previous book 5 of 6 is no more.  I did put forward the option that it could be an e-read but that didn't fly...or sail.

 So I revised the series and book 5 & 6 will have a new take on the characters.

The old book 5 synopsis might make it up on my webpage after the last book is published as an interesting item....

THANKS

Robin 

And, like, do you know there's a food in the book called "Mickey Potatoes?"

 Haven't been here becaused I've finished Heart Fate and it's too long so cut cut cut!

 Take care,

Robin 

And I added a comment about a week ago that did NOT show up here.  Which is a real pain.

 I'm also a little disconcerted that the thread is so slow.  Has anyone got their books from the book club?

 Will double check this post.

Robin 

I'm just waiting for the book challenge discount code then I'll be picking it up as an ebook. I can't wait to read it.

The Mickey potatoes actually come from my Mom's friend Mickey who lives across the street from the house I grew up in.  Sorry/Glad to hear you cried for my poor abused character.

Enjoy the festivities Ame! Goi Hay Fatt Choy to you as well.

I'm a rat, and proud of it!

I'm proud to be a snake even though the reptiles give me the heeby jeebies.

Robin I'm a fourth of the way through the KotF right now. Wow oh wow oh wow. This is one heck of a ride.

Rats rule!!!

Wow Robin what a great story! I bounced around a bit on who would go and who would stay. But in the end I could see why the one choose to go back. Her reactions to her old flame keyed me into the possibility that things in Lladrana were of the rebound type. Raine, was a great surprise and I can't wait to see how she takes on the seamasters and a certain chevalier in the next book. And now I'm off to post my book review for the challenge.

If I remember correctly, I'm a Tiger.  o_0 

Robin,

In the elevator?!?  LOL  I'll always smile from now on when in an elevator. (tee hee)

I just finished reading KotF.  What can I say, every book I read in this series is better than the last.  Needless to say I now can't wait for the final book, but I am a little disapointed in that there will only be one more book.  I think Raine deserves her own book and not to have her story cut down and squeezed into someone else's adventure.

One of the original chapter 1s (more time in Colorado) and a scene with Koz that I loved, are up on my Worlds Page, Keepers of the Flame.

 Enjoy.

 smooches,

Robin 

I just turned it in and I'm very happy with it.  It isn't quite as long as Keepers of the Flame, in the range of the others.  My mentor (Cassie Miles), likes it the best.

Also, chapter 3 is up on my website, and I'll probably put another cut scene up when I do my July update (currently exhausted).

Thanks,

Robin 

Thinking I may give away an ARC rough draft of Echoes in the Dark at RWA. Come drop by my table and enter.
