- Rapidement voici les infos principales :
-nouvelle date de sortie USA de The Golden Lily le 12 juin 2012 (avancé d'une semaine)
-L'anthologie qui comprendra l'histoire de Rose et Dimitri en Russie s'appellera FORETOLD et sortira cette année.
-Son prochain roman adulte age of X sortira en 2013.
-Elle n'écrira sûrement jamais du point de vue de Dimitri. Ni d'Adrian.
-Par contre si elle a du temps elle écrira peut-être un jour sur Abe et Janine. (mon rêve!!)

-Elle aimerait venir en France mais avec le bébé ça semble compromis...
-Rose est bélier et Dimitri sagittaire. (ce n'est pas vital comme information, mais j'aime ce genre d'anecdotes...)

RichelleMead: It's go-time, guys. Let's get this Twitter party started. Meet you over at #VAapp
RM: Biggest news of all: The Golden Lily's release date has been moved up to June 12. One week early!
Q: Do you think about creating another VA spin off series narrated by another character... perhaps Dimitri? #VAapp
RM: I probably won't do anything from Dimitri's point of view. It makes him more mysterious if I don't. :) #VAapp
Q: Are we having a kiss scene in The Golden Lily? (I'm no between who :P)
RM: All I'll say is that people who like romance won't be disappointed in The Golden Lily.
Q: Who is your favorite character to write dialogue for?
RM: Adrian and Dorian are my fave characters to write dialogue for. I would love to write them hanging out together.
Q: What's the hardest part of writing Sydney?
RM: The hardest part of writing Sydney is that she's really smart...and I'm not sure I'm as smart as her.
Q: Hi Richelle, when's the Rose/Dimitri/Russia story coming out? :)
RM: The Rose/Dimitri/Russia story will be out in an anthology called FORETOLD later this year.
Q: have you already started writing the next one?
RM: Yes! I'm currently working on Bloodlines #3, title to be released soon.
Q: What was YOUR favourite book growing up? #VAapp
RM: I love the Dragonlance series and the Anne of Green Gables series.

Q: What's your fav aspect of the VA world (creatures, relationships, characters, etc.)
RM: Relationships between characters are definitely my fave parts of the VA world. And funny dialogue
Q: Not App related. When you were a teacher, how’d you balance out working and writing?
RM: When I was a teacher, I had to write after school and on weekends. It became too hard, so I quit teaching.
Q: How do you balance being a mom and a rock star author?
RM: It's very hard being a mom and an author! He comes first in all things, which makes it difficult writing Bloodlines #3
Q: Can you give any teasers from The Golden Lily?
RM : Bloodlines teasers will be coming in a couple of months.
Q: Hungarian fans would like to know - although Adrian is royal, why he doesn't have a Guardian?
RM: Adrian could have a guardian but he chooses not to in Palm Springs. He didn't have one at Court b/c it was safe there

RM : It would be awesome to do an Abe/Janine story someday. I just need the time! :)

RM : I would love to visit France! International travel is hard right now with the baby.

Je trouve ça trop chouette qu’elle publie finalement l’anthologie sur rose et dimitri je suis super pressée de la lire mais qu’est ce que veut dire le titre ?:)
Et moi aussi je rêverais d’avoir plus d’info sur l’histoire de janine et abe même si on ne les a jamais vu ensemble c’est presque un couple mitique^^ plus j’entend parler de TGL plus j’ai envie de le lire mais pour ça il faudrait d’abord que je lise bloodlines, pourquoi ne sort-t-il qu’à la fin de l’année !;( dimitri in TGL haaaaaa<3 et un un peu rose, abe, christian, micah,… !:)))J’ai souris en voyant qu’un de ses moments préférés était la fin de shadow kiss, c’est un peu sadique pour nous :p mais c’est vrai qu’avec (beaucoup) de recul il est génial ;) et j’espère vraiment qu’elle viendra un jour en France (et en Belgique pourquoi pas sinon je fais le déplacement :)
pour te répondre sosobooks, moi aussi j'attends avec impatience l'histoire sur Rose et Dimitri. Attention le titre Foretold (=prévu) est le titre de l'anthologie (c'est à dire du recueil d'histoire) pas de l'histoire elle même.
Pour l'histoire de Janine et Abe j'ai hâte qu'elle trouve du temps mais à mon avis elle ne le trouvera jamais avec son fils lol. Elle écrit déjà Bloodlines #3 + son prochaine bouquin adulte alors ça doit déjà bien occuper. En attendant tu peux aller lire ma version des faits ( http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6807005/1/Je_dois_me_faire_couper_les_cheveux ) (J'espère que j'ai le droit de faire ma pub Sofia si tu vois ça :)!)
Quand à sa venue en France je l'espérais vraiment pour cette année mais visiblement on va devoir attendre...
