Will Pin ever walk again?
Pin: Yes, sir! I'm doing much better. I don't care what the doctor's say. I intend to make a full recovery!
David R Bennett Good to hear, Pin
Raven Reviewer Hope to see more of you soon!
Pin: Oh, I'll be around!!


Pin, what's the best thing about the Fortress?
Pin: You just sent out a bunch of difficult questions! :) Since I think mine is the easiest, and least embarrassing, I will answer first. The best thing about the Fortress... other than it being AWESOME is that it is home. My grandparents used to live there when we were little and we stayed with them a lot. It has a lot of wonderful memories despite the unhappy ones.
Pin: Of course the access to the market and the dressmakers rocks too!
Raven Reviewer Least embarrassing? What do you know about my question for Sealey and Krissa?
Pin: Well, since Krissa and Khevin have their relationship... it's kind of embarrassing asking Khevin's best friend if he likes his girl... don't you think?
Raven Reviewer Sealey did meet her first.
Micah: technically no. Khevin and Pin knew us before we escaped Tunuftol... when I was little.
Raven Reviewer Ah, yes!
Raven Reviewer And Krissa never forgot.
Micah: No, Krissa forgot. Our father mixed a potion that he learned from the elves. It didn't work on me though. I remember it all... and people wonder why I'm not a normal kid.
Sealey: I don't wonder Micah.
Micah: :P (at Sealey)
Sealey: ;) (at Krissa)

Sealey, did ever like Krissa? Like in that way?
Sealey: Krissa is... a friend. She always will be, I hope. I know how Krissa and Khevin feel about each other and I'm happy for them.
Raven Reviewer Hmmm...That's what I thought, Sealey.
Sealey: It is?
Raven Reviewer Yep. Pretty much.
Sealey: Am I predictable?
Raven Reviewer No, I just can read between the lines. ;)
Sealey: I don't think there's anything to read...

How powerful will Krissa ultimately become?
David R Bennett Will she marry Khevin?
Ann Snizek The answer to both is... we will see. ;) She has some AWESOME powers doesn't she!!! Now if she can learn to control them.
 
Ann who is your favorite character from the Tunuftol series? Who is your least favorite?
Ann Snizek That's like having me pick my favorite child!!! :P My least favorite would be Lord Zayd.
David R Bennett But do you have a favorite?
Ann Snizek I have a couple favorites. :D
Ann Snizek The main 6 people and Reza!
Ann Snizek I won't narrow it down farther!!! you can't make me!!!

Ann, have you ever thought of collaborating with another author to do a crossover with Tunuftol and their series?
David R Bennett Well, Ann?
Ann Snizek Sorry, I got a bunch of questions at once there and I was trying to find the one(s) I missed. Ummmm... I haven't thought about that really. I've thought about connecting my own books somehow, but nothing definite.
David R Bennett Avoiding the question, are we, Ann?
David R Bennett Yeah, if you look at some of my posts you know that several of my series will be interconnected.
Ann Snizek I've also thought about branching the Tunuftol series to have offshoot stories of other characters not fully highlighted in the main books.
David R Bennett Maybe you and I can discuss something at a later date.

Micah, did your parents know about you and your visions?
Micah: yes. My dad was also a seer and they knew some about my powers before they died.  I'm not sure how much they knew, but I know that they were aware of some things... given my names.

Micah, I know you can see the future. What do you see concerning Krissa and Khevin? Will the King have his Queen? Will there be princes and princesses as well?
Micah: Yes, there will be royal children. Khevin will have his queen, but I won't say that it's Krissa because that wouldn't be fair to her.
David R Bennett Okay. That gives me some insight. You are very wise for such a young boy. Will you ever find you better half?
Sealey: He is the better half.
Micah: (shrug) I'm sure I'll find someone, but it is harder to see those things for myself.
Lonnie: If you argue that point Mr. David R Bennett... I may have to find a way back to Earth that won't kill me.
Pin: It's okay, Lonnie. No one is attacking Micah.
David R Bennett Just curious, Lonnie. Lighten up. Besides, I have a few friends with special abilities as well.
Lonnie: Just making sure you understand that he is pretty great as he is.

I don't remember, but who is the Amasa and what makes the Amasa important?
Micah: I am the Amasa.
Pin: Amasa means "Carries a heavy load." It is a name that few get in Tunuftol.
Alcina: Few get it anywhere on Nyssa.
David R Bennett It's hard to keep track of everyone's names. Hard for me to remember who's who. You guys have entirely too many names.
Everyone at once: We know!
Khevin: You might hear us slip up every now and then too. Especially when we have to go in secret.
Krissa: Imagine having all those names yourself! It's hard keeping my own names straight. I can remember most of everyone's names... usually, but don't ask me what they mean... PLEASE.
Nester: Not all of us have a lot of names.
David R Bennett Nah. Never. (Sarcastically)

Transcripts of Live Interview - part 2

Taken from the Facebook event...

Check the bottom for the tour schedule and enter the Giveaway!!

I have a question! What was the vision Micah shared with Khevin?! I've been dying to know! (In book 2)
Khevin and Micah together: Which time?
Raven Reviewer Oh come on! You know the time guys - Micah you were all cryptic in front of Krissa. Was it about her?!
Raven Reviewer Micah, didn't you show Khevin a vision in front of Krissa?
Micah: I suppose. :D
Khevin: Sorry, my memory isn't as good as Micah's.
*Sealey is laughing*
Micah: You may not know it, but I've shown Khevin several visions while Krissa was present. :D


Sealey: I'm thinking they aren't going to give too much on that one yet. Keep bugging them. heehehe
Krissa: I thought Raven Reviewer was almost as cryptic as Micah with her question. :D
Micah: Pssst! Raven Reviewer... I predict you may get an answer in the next book. ;)
Sealey: There you go, ma'am... What the little guy predicts usually happens.
Micah: Usually???
Sealey: Well, I didn't want to make your ego swell too much. :D
Lonnie: Yeah, Micah... you don't want to be THAT much like Sealey, do you?  :D
Raven Reviewer Hmmm....the next book? As in The Jewel of Nirel?
Micah: No, ma'am. Book 4: The Sword of Israj... I believe you may find the answers you're after then.  If you think it's hard for you to wait... imagine how I feel. :/

I have to go grocery shopping so I am going to miss some of this but I will be back to play in a while!
Pin: Okay! We'll be here. I'll make sure of if. :D <3 o:p="">




Sealey
Did anyone bring snacks?
Alcina: Yes, Sealey. Ann Snizek has a wonderful spread for us in the other room.
Sealey: Sweet!!!

Micah, will Lonnie ever get his eyesight back?
Micah: The treatment he is using now is the only one available at this time. So, in the ... "foreseeable future" we will say no.
Lonnie: Thanks for that vote of hope there little buddy.
Micah: I may be able to see the future, but there are some things that must be played out without foreknowledge in order for things to happen that must... pleasant or not.
Krissa: What he's saying is we don't know. He didn't answer yes or no.
Fawnah: He might know... but we don't
Pin: It doesn't matter to me. I love him the way he is.
Brydon: ewww...
Lonnie: I'm happy with my night vision if anyone wants to know.
Raven Reviewer I must say its really cool how you can see but I'm kind of worried for you. What if your friends aren't around to help you? I'm also worried about you and Pin. I'd hate for you to never be able to see her golden hair shining in the sun again. You know?
Lonnie: I understand. I know what Pin looks like, and -- beautiful as she is -- what I see is just as beautiful if not more so.  As for getting around... I've had easier times, but what is life if not an obstacle? I have ways to get around and now that we've met Crown Mountain... things may get easier.

This question is for Krissa and Khevin: what happens to your clothes? Do you have "other form" clothes? (I'm trying to be cryptic so as not to spoil things for those who haven't read the series.)
Khevin: I think I'll let Krissa answer first.
Krissa: LOL... I'm not 100% sure. I've never thought about it much before.
Khevin: I was hoping her answer would be better.
Micah: I know...  During the metamorphosis stage, the clothing is transformed to blend in with the skin. It becomes one and almost acts as a strengthening layer.
Sealey: What if they... umm. You know... Like if Khevin doesn't have a shirt on?
Lonnie: Had a hard time wording that didn't you Sealey?
Micah: Khevin and Krissa both have unique names that assist in their "other forms" and are able to compensate for any lack in outerwear.
Khevin: Thank you Micah.
Ann Snizek Did that help any Raven Reviewer?
Sealey: I think you scared her away Micah.
Raven Reviewer So....no one is naked and the human clothes just...disappear?
Sealey: That could make it interesting when they change back! Of course, Khevin's my friend, but I don't want to know that much about him.
Sealey: Ouch!
Alcina: Behave
Micah: No. Not naked. You don't consider a dog or cat naked. It's the same thing.
Raven Reviewer I guess...just a cat doesn't become a fully clothed human in an instant.
Sealey: It does when that kitty is an 800 lb white tiger named Khevin. :D


Ann, how did you come up with the Tunuftol books?
Ann Snizek It happened by accident. I was doing some work out behind my house and discovered the tunuftolates. So, being the curious person I am, I had to learn as much about them as I could. Thankfully, they introduced me to the wonderful group of young people that we get to join. :D (translation: I had come up with the adorable creatures and then had to build a world for them.)
Raven Reviewer Are they based on Ewoks?
Ann Snizek no. Actually, I didn't even think of the connection until after I wrote them.
Ann Snizek They have more magical abilities though and aren't as "primitive."

Micah, have you seen your own death?
Micah: I have seen my death many times Ms. Raven Reviewer. However, now... I have something much more difficult that I've seen. If my death was the worst, I'd be happy.
Raven Reviewer What could be worse than death? Did you see someone else's death?
Micah: Yes ma'am. I've seen everyone's death and I can do nothing to stop it.  Any of them.
Raven Reviewer That must be an awfully big burden.
Micah: Yes, ma'am

Ann, how long have you been writing? And when did you first start publishing?
Ann Snizek I have been writing since I was little. My school friends still remember me as the girl who sat under the playground with a notebook during recess. :D I published my first book (Tunuftol's Fortress of Light) on 12.12.12 I wanted to remember the date. :D
Raven Reviewer How did you get the cover? Who did those? Was it difficult?
Ann Snizek I made the covers myself. They are very time consuming, but I love art in all forms.
Raven Reviewer I love them! Especially after reading the books.
Ann Snizek They are a bit obscure until you read them, but I look at them as clues to the story within.

Khevin...you're betrothed. Are you gonna do something about that? Or is that the way it is?
Khevin: I'm not betrothed. I do not honor the agreements of my enemies and the enemies of my people.
Lonnie: Well said.
Ruuna: What about... you know... Cormack. What are we going to do about them?
Khevin: We will deal with them when the time comes.
Raven Reviewer I thought in order to become betrothed, your parents had to agree. Didn't your parents agree to the marriage?
Khevin: My parents and the rest of those loyal to Tunuftol had become refugees by the time the agreement was made. Tomas made the agreement with Cormack and I feel no responsibility to uphold it.  I do understand where you are coming from, but since the arrangement itself had not been honorably made, it is not valid as far as I'm concerned.
Raven Reviewer So...you're a free agent then?
Khevin: Well, ummm... I wouldn't say that ma'am. I am not officially betrothed to anyone, but I still have Krissa in my life. We have a long life ahead of us. With my job as King of Tunuftol, I have a lot to focus on besides marriage. After all, I'm not that old yet.
Nester: See Gilroy... Krissa isn't the only human that can change colors. :D
Raven Reviewer Don't you, like, have to get married next year?
Khevin: No, ma'am. I don't have to marry next year. The council will push that I not wait too long, but I will wait.
Raven Reviewer I thought that wasn't done? All royalty are married by 16?

Khevin: Tradition says that at 16 - or soon thereafter - the royal family is allowed to become engaged. Since our royal line isn't very large anymore, the council will be pushing me to... start a family... as soon as they can get me to.
