I do have a couple ideas for revisions though...</p> <p>#1 Give the series a happier ending (like Fenran doesn't turn into a crazy man and Indigo kills him &#38; forever damages her relationship w/ Grimya)</p> <p>#2 Did Indigo have to cheat on Fenran w/ Veness, really?</p> <p>#3 The 8th and final book should focus on Indigo &#38; Grimya, not newcomers Vinar and Niahrin (though I like the characters, maybe they should have minor roles)</p> <p>But it's a wonderful series. And I think these revisions could make it an AWESOME series. Please write me back!</p> <p>-Leslie Soule<br /> <a href="mailto:falcondraco@hotmail.com">falcondraco@hotmail.com</a> </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=8#post-22 Wed, 13 Jun 2007 01:20:29 +0000 Khylan 22@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I thought I'd dive right in and introduce myself. I go by the name Khylan, and I come from a beach suburb in Australia. I dabble with photomanipulation and was once a bookcover designer, but gave that flick because it took up too much of my work time. So, now I've found another pleasant distraction :0)</p> <p>My day to day job (or work-work as I call it) is IT. Yes, heaps of fun :0o Not! I'm working on getting my own fantasy saga published. Almost finished the manuscript. Hopefully, there'll be takers...</p> <p>Anyway, that's me in a nutcase.</p> <p>How about you? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=175#post-624 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:57:48 +0000 cyllan 624@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I think I love The Star Shadow trilogy a hint more that The Time Master trilogy. But that's probably because I have a thing for tragedy. :) But those two trilogies would be on a desert island with me.</p> <p>The Indigo series is just phenomenal...maybe even life-changing as I read it in my earliest 20s.</p> <p>As far as stand-alone books go. I really loved Summer Witch. I love the darkness and desperation and I have a strong fascination with scarecrows. I also think The King's Demon is greatness. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1344#post-1884 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:42:21 +0000 EveGutierrez 1884@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Its been a long time since I've posted anything on this site, and I am glad to see some new people joined and others are still around and kicking as ever. It made me very sad to see that this site seemed abandoned, but now I see the possibility of getting it back on track.<br /> Spread the word that the site is here and comment and take a little time to discuss books, and tales and whatnot :D</p> <p>What I want to suggest is to start a small book discussion, beginning with The Initiate, just to get the feel of what people think and got from the story, lets get this started, come on who goes first!? ^_^ </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1734#post-2281 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:12:19 +0000 Storm 2281@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Hi guys.<br /> As we know, Bad Seed was being written when Louise passed away. I don't know if it's ever going to be finished and/or published, but the one question I needed answering was this: Who did Shar choose? Was it Hestor or Reyni? Which one?!</p> <p>I found Bad Seed on Goodreads.com and they provided a blurb.</p> <p>Turns out the father of Shar's children was actually Kitto.</p> <p>From the Goodreads website:<br /> "Brother and sister Marloe and Silve are children of a burgeoning and powerful dynasty. Their mother, Shar, was a prodigiously powerful channeller of supernatural forces as a child, and their father, Kitto has an almost telekinetic affinity with animals of all kinds. Now, Marloe and Silve have come of age. As teenagers they are beginning to understand exactly what gifts they have inherited from their parents. And now they are faced with their first deadly challenge when a century-old sorceress kidnaps their dear friend Jianna, with a plan to channel her own particularly twisted brand of magic through the girl. Jianna will be left an empty shell, if Marloe and Silve cannot find her in time. It will take every ounce of their powers, and will find them tackling spirits and entities on a terrifying scale. But they must find the courage and take on evil, to claim back good..."<br /> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2264657.The_Bad_Seed" rel="nofollow">http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2264657.The_Bad_Seed</a> </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1241#post-1777 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 08:48:32 +0000 Liddi 1777@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Moonset is finally available on Mundania! Got the eBook the moment I saw it... need instant Louise Cooper gratification... and devoured it within a day. What an incredible book... a fitting, albeit heartbreaking culmination to a powerful trilogy. Not going to spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read it (and I earnestly urge all who haven't to get hold of a copy). Louise, you have indeed crafted a masterpiece which is so raw and intense... truly memorable. Thank you so much... </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1178#post-1713 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 01:51:54 +0000 Lu 1713@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I have the Indigo Series and two of the Time Master trilogy. I am looking to purchase EVERY book she has written. Even to duplicating those I have. Can anyone help me out here?<br /> I'm in Washington in the US. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1151#post-1686 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:03:33 +0000 bondjilly 1686@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I am about to record the final audio book in Louise's "Mermaid Curse" series - "The Golden Circlet". I was so very sad to read the news of her death and hope this recording will be a tribute to her - we exchanged emails last year about an earlier book in the series and, like her friends, I found her full of warmth, humour and vivacity. Her writing in the series is gorgeous, vividly evoking the Cornish coast and sea-life which she clearly knew so well, combined with the magical undersea world of shining fish-tails, weed forests and shell jewellery.<br /> My heart goes out to her husband .. what a sad loss. I shall treasure the books and my brief connection to Louise.<br /> Jilly Bond </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=685#post-1208 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:18:48 +0000 Alanray 1208@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I had heard this was available on the website as a eBook but there is no trace of it? Googling for it shows it available from a lot of dodgy sites and some saying it is free, so I guess a little help thanks? I like to see where the beginnings of the Time Master series originated from.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=1043#post-1574 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:53:35 +0000 Liddi 1574@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Sacrament of Night is now available on Mundania - bought the eBook the moment I saw it. What a wonderful story... so beautifully crafted against an incredibly woven tapestry of worlds. I have never read this book of Louise's before... and now more than ever, I look forward eagerly to any other releases of Louise's books from Mundania, and mourn that we will never get to read more new books from this incredible woman. Louise, you are very much missed. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=395#post-901 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:19:00 +0000 jc 901@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Does anyone have release dates of these two books, Moonset and Eclipse? I have only the first book (Star Ascendant), as I'm sure many people do :) and am really looking forward to the whole series. Unfortunately, the only used copies available tend to be expensive. Thanks.</p> <p>John C&gt; </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=465#post-973 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:55:24 +0000 stephiemadfish 973@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I am so sad to hear of Louise's passing. I have not been a friend for long but I have delighted in Louise's company every time we were together. I loved singing together in St Agnes, harmonys up to the wire! Great fun. Granddaughters Penny and Harriet are firm fans of her literature. Louise leaves an amazing legacy of books for us all to mine.<br /> It's the love you leave behind you that counts! </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=707#post-1232 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:21:43 +0000 Trakks 1232@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Hi was just wondering if anybody else was having trouble getting their books from Mundania Press. I order and paid for a book at the end of 2008 have call and e-mail the last 2 e-mail no reply I think it time to ask for a refund as being polite has got me no where<br /> The books I was getting where the sign letter edition now with Louise pasting I'm wondering if that will be the end of them? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=683#post-1206 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:05:50 +0000 janinthesun 1206@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>As I was in glorious sunny Cornwall last week, I happened by chance to meet Cas, Louise's husband.I had to admit I did not know of Louise but have now looked her up and see what a marvellous following she has.<br /> Saddened that such a talented and personable person should leave us at such an early age. Next job is to get to the bookstore and start reading.<br /> Thanks for the chat,Cas. Nice meeting you in the alley way!! Maybe see you in April when I am down again.

I stopped reading for a bit when I was finishing high school but now I am older (and hopefully a little wiser) I am really getting back into the books again, especially as I'm finding now I understand better the decisions some characters made (ie Indigo's devastating one in Aisling) which I couldn't comprehend in high school.</p> <p>Alas I'm in Australia where the books are now out of print. I have had a real struggle trying to find them over the past couple of years. However I've had some recent successes. With the falling Australian dollar, I simply can't afford to buy them from Mundania as the books plus shipping blow out of proportion. Having said that, tracking them down has been so much fun!</p> <p>My books have come from all over the place but I've had so much success at the Lifeline Bookfest in Brisbane. (PS There was one copy of Eclipse, 2 copies of Nemesis and one of The King's Demon still there as of yesterday for any Aussies here...)</p> <p>Below is the link to a photo of my collection. I have dupilcate copies because some of them are deteriorating and coming to pieces and I have found newer books; especially that old copy of Mirage and the 2 from the Time master. (I'm too scared to even read them) and in the Indigo saga because I didn't want to separate books that clearly came from the same personal collection.</p> <p>My favourite would have to be The Book of Paradox - I found this in a small bookshop a few months ago! In the past 2 days I have found The King's Demon, Eclipse, Moonset and the newer copy of Mirage. I finished my entire Indigo collection last month when I found the last 2 I was missing - Troika and Avatar in a small bookshop in Hobart, Tasmania.</p> <p>Thanks Louise for not only writing in such a uniquely different style to other authors out there, but for having THE most original character names ever! (My favourites are Shalune, Calliope and all the names of the Brabazon family)</p> <p>~Dream~</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/gp/34552837@N03/bf30S9" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/gp/34552837@N03/bf30S9</a> </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=54#post-454 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:39:59 +0000 Gemagem00 454@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>How many A4 pages did you write for your mermaids curse books because i have wrote a book and don't know if its long enough is 46 A4 pages enough?

Although I discovered Louise Cooper by reading the Time Master Trilogy about... ummm six years ago and discovered this site a year ago, for one reason or the other I hadn't registered here ^^'<br /> I must say, from the first two lines in the Initiate I fell in love with your writing! Unfortunately, here in Mexico where I live, the books were practically impossible to find. It took me three years to find the outcast and only a year ago did I find the Master! And I'm still missing the rest, which since there's no other choice, I'll be ordering by mail.<br /> But in the meantime I most tell you Louise, ever since reading your books you became an inspiration for me. I love writing and have been doing so for years now, and I can only think that someday I want to be half the amazing writer you are. Really. And actually one of my dreams is not only to get my stuff publized, but that someday you might as well read it. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=176#post-625 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:07:23 +0000 cyllan 625@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>What else is everyone reading that reminds you of Louise's work?</p> <p>Although her work is a bit darker Anne Bishop's novels remind me of the way Ms. Cooper builds worlds and characters and weaves a bit of romance into her tales. Her Black Jewels series, the Ephemera pair, and the Tir Allain trilogy all remind me of Louise Cooper. </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=203#post-671 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 05:01:00 +0000 seabreeze 671@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Hi Louise,<br /> was your book Bad Seed<br /> released in the UK ?</p> <p>thanks </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=48#post-418 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:36:59 +0000 EveGutierrez 418@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>A new cover for one of Louise Coppers most breathtaking trilogies has emerged, its on Mundania.com coming soon list, Its the cover for Star Ascendant, and well again I'm kinda confused to whom that really is.</p> <p>I am absolutely thrilled excited and blown away that this trilogy is being brought back so many more people can read it and BELEIVE ME its something you do not want to miss. Its a set of books that will leave you breathless. </p> <p>But... I do kinda have issues on the cover, if that's Benetan Liss well... his hair was black wans't it? and if its Vordegh well his attire is a bit too flashy for an aesthetic. Plus the belt... i gotta talk about the belt... it looks like a paint pallet not shining gorgeous Chaos stones, and PLEASE don't tell me that's Savrinor! (personal opinion yes but... I just might have to shed a tear if that's it) What do you all think? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=184#post-647 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:27:14 +0000 Khylan 647@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Hi Louise,</p> <p>Are you on Twitter?

I hope to remedy that soon. </p> <p>So here I am suggesting something new that hopefully will work out.<br /> Since the world most are familiar with is the Chaos and Order one, I suggest (if its OK by Louise)that we as a community re-write or continue a chapter just for fun. Like writing out a chapter on Ygorla on the white isle and her having a talk with elementals before she controlled them. things like that. What do you all think? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=110#post-532 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:21:13 +0000 d3b64 532@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>I've been a fan of Tarod and his kin from the first tme I read The Lord of No Time in the 1980s. I loved the Time Maser trilogies as well when they were published because they added further dimensions to a fascinating world. Unfortunately I no longer have any of the books, and I am not in a position to purchase them... it's a long story... and I am trying to remember the original names of Tarod and his brothers from The Lord of No Time. I'd also like the poem at the beginning of the book. Can anyone help with this info? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=55#post-457 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:41:26 +0000 Khylan 457@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Happy new year Louise and all.<br /> I hope Christmas and NYE went well for everyone and this year is looking good.</p> <p>Are there any upcoming book releases for this year? </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=44#post-376 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:10:26 +0000 Loobyloo 376@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Will there be a new book after the indgo series of Mermaid curse?<br /> I am a huge fan!!!!!!!!!!<br /> PLEASE TELL ME!!! </p> http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/topic.php?id=53#post-453 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:27:13 +0000 a class from France 453@http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/ <p>Dear Louise,<br /> First we want to wish you a very Happy New Year!<br /> We are a group of French pupils. We're 13. Our school is called Collège Jean 23 and it is in Mulhouse, a town near the Swiss and German borders.<br /> We've just read Emergency Landing. Some of us are not too keen on science fiction but we all liked your story, especially the twist at the end. We were so surprised to discover that the passengers were extraterrestrials.<br /> We would like to know what happened after the landing because obvuiously they didn't blow up the Earth!<br /> Do you have other stories that are not too long and not too difficult to understand?<br /> Best wishes<br /> A class from France </p>
