Happy New Year!!!!
hey, if I'm still getting it at work from customers, then it's not too late to be telling you guys here.
Random Question # 4692: Do you like snow? Why or why not?
I do and I don't. I used to love playing in the snow as a kid and sledding was one of my favorites since we had a giant sledding hill in the park. And even now I do like to go out and play in the snow when I have time. Unfortunately, as a working adult, I rarely have time and need to go driving through the snow more often than not, and for that reason, I don't like snow. I also don't like cold, but that's just cause I've got some joints of an 80 yr old woman stuck in this 25 yr old body.

I love snow. I love how it looks on the trees and covering the ground. I love making snow people and snow creatures and forts. I love it, but I hate the cold. Wish there was summer snow.

Snow always starts off nice and wonderful. When you enter month three.... it becomes annoying.
SDANGEL: to answer an old question: I just shipped a PILE of stuff over to my website designer for posting to the site. when it all gets posted, I will post the news here.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do about that. I might write a short short story to answer the question or just answer it here. Give me a few days to turn the thought over.

I wasn't 100% sure about where to post this, but it felt like a random question to me. I was wondering what had happened to Michael's body? I don't recall you ever telling us what had happened. I've been puzzling over it for the past several hours now (I bought the series 4 days ago, and just finished Burn The Night). Couldn't seem to put the books down, even though it meant I was sorta lagging behind on my chores. Anyways, I was just wondering if you could please shed some light on it for me? Thank You!!!

I am so glad that you enjoyed the series. I've gotten that question a few times before and here's the answer that I've given:
That question actually came up in an interview that I did. Here's the answer I gave:
Lol. That one, I fear, is going to haunt me for the rest of my life as I failed to tie that one up at the end of Burn the Night.
Yes, I will admit that I had plans for Michael. That was back in the early planning stages of the series and I had some things I wanted to get done with the series and Michael was going to be a launching point. In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t go in that direction, but I also wish I had had more time to go back and deal with Michael.
My original plan was to send Mira and Danaus on what I was personally calling “the date book.” Mira’s friend from Dayhunter – Alexandre – was going to invite her to her wedding in Portland. At the same time, werewolves would be disappearing from her pack. Agreeing to help, Mira and Danaus would go investigate as well as attend Alexandre’s wedding. Chaos and tenderness would ensue. At the end of the book, Mira would be alone and feel a tap on the shoulder. She would turn and see Michael. Alive! And then there would be Aurora, queen of the naturi. The book would end with her being kidnapped.
The next book would focus on Danaus and Jabari trying to free her, while Mira tried to escape Aurora. The story behind Michael was to be that the naturi found his body before his soul escaped, so they captured his soul and stole his body. Aurora would reanimate him while holding his soul captive. Mira would have to find a way to kill Michael in order to save him from a lifetime of servitude to the naturi.
In the end, I dumped the entire plotline because it interfered with other plans I had as well as I couldn’t properly reconcile all the conflicting points of view I would need to tell the story. I am currently thinking of writing a short story to deal with the question of Michael.
