Angelfire Spoiler Q&A Vlogs parts 1 - 5

As promised, here are the answers to your questions from the last blog post! These are all pretty spoilery of the Angelfire books, so have fun! There are a few hints to what's coming up in the next books so pay attention ;-) Thank you for all your great questions and I hope you enjoy!

Something I forgot to mention in the video: I often get asked "Why do you use reincarnation in a world based on Judeo-Christian lore?" Yes there is a huge difference between resurrection and reincarnation, and in fact most groups of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism don't believe in reincarnation. Even though I up in a Christian family, I chose to include a few Eastern beliefs, because I like to explore other religions, particularly ancient religions. The idea of reincarnation began with the Orphic religion in 6th century BC Greece and in early Hinduism and Buddhism. If you want to look more into it, I recommend checking out the Bardo Thodol, or the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Cool stuff!

Spoiler Q&A Vlog and Shatter Me Giveaway

So Angelfire has been out for a few months and I've had a lot of questions that were a bit too spoilery for me to answer publicly. I think it's about time for me to host a Q&A that I will answer during a vlog. To make it even more fun, I will be giving away an ARC of SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi!

If you have totally spoiler-filled questions you'd like me to answer, leave a comment on this blog post with whatever questions you have. I will do my best to answer as many as possible.

In order to enter to win SHATTER ME, you only have to post a question for me about ANGELFIRE. Please leave your blog or email address so I can contact you if you're the winner.

If you'd like an extra 2 entries in the contest, tweet a link back here and don't forget to use the hashtag #FEARTHEREAPER so I can find your tweet easily.

The contest will end Sunday the 14th at 11:59 PM and the winner will be announced in the vlog. I will also close the spoiler questions at that time, answer the questions Monday and hopefully get the vlog up on Tuesday. You can ask ANYTHING about Angelfire, even the spoileriest of spoilers! If you haven't read Angelfire yet, I would not read the questions posted here or watch the vlog unless you don't care about being spoiled.

This should be so much fun! So yeah! Ask away! I may skip questions that spoil Wings of the Wicked or Hymn to the Fallen, or answer without *answering*, but I'll be a good author.

To clarify, I won't be answering any generic questions about publishing or writing. This giveaway and vlog are my gifts to my readers who have questions about the story and characters.
