FAQ time again!

Do the PHANTOM books come out later in Australia?


They do for some reason, and though I've asked and ASKED, no one can tell me why HarperCollins in Australia releases my books later than HarperCollins in the U.S. Some readers even buy their books over the Internet to speed up the process. Though they've never mentioned it, I would guess the shipping charges are pretty pricey, so if you decide to do that, you might keep your eyes on cost.

Will we ever see pictures of everyone in Phantom Stallion? The humans, I mean? Because I'm dying to see them!


I'm sorry to keep you in suspense, but your imagination and the word pictures in the books are your best chances to "see" my characters. Along with my publisher, I decided before the first book even came out, that I wanted horse portraits (with good peeks at Nevada in the background) on the covers. And, after so long, I wouldn't want the cover artist to show you characters who looked totally different from what you'd been picturing in your mind. Don't you find that jarring in movies? Oh, but there is something special planned for the cover of the last book! (Oh no...more suspense!)

This isn't really a question, but my idea is to have a Phantom Stallion video game. I know all kids who love horses and video games would love this idea. One idea for the game would be to let the player be Sam and try to find the Stallion. Also you could solve the mystery of stolen mares. Being able to lasso the mares would be cool. Plus I would like to take care of Ace at River Bend Ranch. Are you thinking of doing this?


This is an exciting idea and you can bet I would spend HOURS sitting in front of this game, but this is an area of publishing I know nothing about! I hear from lots of readers who wonder if I have something like this in the works, but I wouldn't know where to start. If you're knowledgeable about the process, feel free to educate me! Until then...just picture me shrugging!

Have a great weekend,
Terri
