We thought it would be nice to hear from a fan of C.L. Wilson’s and her works. C.L. has a Yahoogroup fan club that grows larger each day as more and more fans discovers her books and join.

Those die-hard fans have anxiously and sometimes impatiently waited for this last book in their favorite series and they’ve kept themselves occupied by rereading the previous books, playing “what if” on the Yahoo loop, along with Tairen Soul trivia and quote games. They are a dedicated bunch.

So fan Heidi Skinner stepped up the plate to give us a last few words about her excitement over Ms. Wilson’s series and what it’s meant to her.

I’d like to thank Heidi for her contribution today, as well as C.L. Wilson for her awesome series and taking the time to be with us on this very busy day for her. It’s been a fun day and we appreciate all of you stopping by to join in.

Here’s Heidi.

Wow! I can’t believe the time is finally here! There are no words for how excited I am that Crown of Crystal Flame is about to be released! This month of October has flown by, spending most of the time on C.L. Wilson’s website and blog, reading about and joining in on the release countdown of CoCF, answering questions each day to test one’s knowledge of her past books so you’re ready to read what happens to Rain and Ellie in their final book.

C.L. Wilson has really taken a lot of time this last month on her website and in her Yahoogroup to respond to posts from fans who ask questions about events in this last book in the Tairen Soul series or even try to finagle information out of her because they’re too eager to wait. It’s nice to read books from an author who takes the time to chat with you individually and makes you feel like you are a part of this awesome series she’s written.

To me this series has meant quite a bit. Since I picked up the first book, Lord of the Fading Lands, and read the part where, despite all the chaos that has happened, and as Rain and Ellie are standing in the palace with King Dorian, Ellie is ready to blame herself for all of that chaos, Rain grabs her chin, looks into her eyes and tells her that she has done nothing wrong, that she is bright and shining, I have been hooked. That might be one of the smaller parts of the books, but to me that statement to Ellie from Rain kind of sums up the series, no darkness holds dominion over the light.

It’s such a privilege to read all of these books, to see Rain and Ellie’s story further develop, to see her learn how to accept her magic……and kick some Mage butt along the way! 🙂 I can’t wait to read how and if Rain and Ellie’s bond will be completed. Will her parents and sisters be saved? Will good conquer all once again?

I don’t know about you, but by the time this post appears on Tuesday evening, I will probably already have my copy of Crown of Crystal Flame read!
