I have finally had the time to go through the 9 pages of instructions given to me by my very good friend Jules about how to download pictures onto my Website. Thanks Jules
If you click on GALLERY at the top of the home page, you will be taken to a page from which you can view these pictures. I hope you like them.
Meanwhile, in this morning’s mail I received a parcel containing one copy each of the hardback of The Charmed Return and a paperback of The Enchanted Quest. At last! As you probably know, I finished writing The Charmed Return almost a year ago, and it’s seemed sometimes like the book would never actually appear. Well, it has! I hope those of you who have been waiting as eagerly as I have will enjoy it. Please remember if you get in touch, not to include any plot spoilers in your mails to me - not if you want your comments to be posted online here. If you want to discuss specific things in the book, write to me privately from the Contact page, I will always respond.
OMG OMG OMG!!!! I seriously cannot wait until the 25 to purchase the Charmed Return!!!!! Although, I have to wait actually until the 27 at least because that is when I get money But still!!!!
I CANT WAIT!! I HAVE THE BOOK ON PRE ORDER AND IM GETTING IT ASAP!
Allen, in our house we are great fans of your books are looking forward with exciment to the arrival of our copy of the Charmed Return. I have a question on another series that your are writing, Warrior Princess. My daughter has just finished the Emerald Flame and wants to know how long until the next book will come out. She is a voracious reader and gets very excited when she reads. Your books are certainly amoung those. Do you have any notion how long she will have to find out what happens next? thanks, Terri
AFJ. Terri - thanks so much for getting in touch. With regards to the next Warrior Princess book - there has been a problem with the publication of this book and I’m trying to sort it out right now. As soon as I have more news, I’ll post a blog about it. The good news is that the book has been written and that it will be published - I’m just not quite sure when.
Allen, thanks for the return post. I really appreciate you taking the time. I’m sorry you are having publication problems. I know very little in the regard, but I hope that they sort out for you soon. I look forward to reading the Charmed Return and to the publication of the next Warrior Princess installment. regards.
WOW your drawings are wonderful!! Your a great artist!!
Cant wait for The Charmed Return to come out too!
i have been counting down the days!!!!!!! cant wait!!!! but why does school have to get in the way? im most likly going to have to study or do home work when i get it and its going to make me go insane if that book is sitting next to me and im doing algebra!!! haha cant wait i know it will be AMAZING! love the drawings!
Mr. Jones,
You’re meking me jelous
I am going to order the book tonight so I will get it on Thursday! Can’t wait to read it when I get it
OMG AHHHHH! ITS THE 25TH!!!! HEHEH IM EXSITED
Well, I finished it last night and I enjoyed it.
I am sooooo mad! I pre-ordered the book on Monday and I should have gotten it today (Thursday) but I got an e-mail from Barnes and Noble saying it has been delayed and they will ship it out in the next 1-5 business days! I think I have to wait to next week to get it now Oh well, I will get it sometime, lol.
AFJ - I know how you feel! I still don’t have my copies yet! Mind you, mine have to cross the Atlantic to get to me.
That stink I have to wait for mine too but as soon as I have it I won’t take my eyes of it.
Hi Mr,Jones.I’m a big fan of your books.I bought the fifth series of the Faerie Path 2 years ago and I was waiting eagerly for The Charmed Return to be published.I thought that it was never going to be published.I have to wait a while until it comes to my country but once there is stock I’ll be one of the first to buy it in my country.Thank you:)
I just finnished the charmed Return, it was amazing :)) will there be a 7th book ?
AFJ. Nicole - at the moment Harper Collins the Publishers have not committed to a 7th book- I think it will all be down to how many copies of The Charmed Return are sold.
I think if there isn’t a seventh book , im going to cry!
Well, I had to cancel my order for the book because it was further delayed and it could take a month! I will probably go to the bookstore and buy it to make sure I get it!
i dont have it yet it really is depressing me i cant stop thinking about it! i close my eyes everytime i get the mail hoping it will be there haha cant wait!!!!!!
Just Finished charmed Returen
(:
When I went to cancel my order for the book, I got an e-mail saying it is on the way… so I should get it on Wednesday or Thursday… we’ll see.
Hi my name is melissa annd I was wondering are you going to have any other books on the faerie path cuz I really lived the charmed return!
AFJ. Michele - I haven’t got my copies yet! Publishers say they should be with me next week, though. I don’t know what the delay was.
That is the same way with me. When I ordered it, I should have gotten it LAST Thursday. They did not say what the delay was, makes me mad. I might not get it today either (Weddnesda) because we had a HUGE snow storm. We got almost 2 feet of snow and it was windy so there is 3-6feet drifts in the roads and the road trucks that are plowing the roads are staying to the main roads and my road isn’t a main road, that means, I probably won’t get the book today Maybe tomorrow…
Opps… Wednesday, not Weddnesda, haha
yea, the snow stoms delaying my order too… oh well ( This is crazy cuz i liv in texas and its below 0!)
I surely hope Harper Collins signs on for more books in this series. I finished the Charmed Return and it was incredible. Maybe we should start a petition?! Great work on these books. I loved every one of them and hope it continues….
Aimee, the snow storm didn’t delay mine because I ordered mine last Tuesday, so I don’t know why it was delayed. We got the storm last night and we got about 16-20inches of snow and it is in the low 20s. It got sunny this afternoon, but now the clouds are coming back in over the lake, I live on the west side of Michigan.
Time to go snowmobiling! WooHoo!
I am happy now though, I got it in the mail today (Wednesday)!!!!!
mine is SUPPOSE to get here today but it hasnt yet! i dont know what its problem is the traking thing on barns and noble says its been delivered i hope they didnt deliver it to the wrong person…i would be sad but when it does get here i wont put it down you can count on that!
I think I am going to buy another copy and give to a friend or my mom so that another book will come out. I haven’t finished it yet, but I am literally pained to put down when I have to.
OMG i bought the book monday just got it today and i already read the whole thing i couldent put it down! if there isent another book i gunna cry i love the books so much i hope theres at least one more book!!!!!
Liz, I hope you get your book! I think Barnes and Noble is having some trouble because this is the second book that I have had trouble with. I mean I’ve always gotten the books, just like this last book, it was delayed for a WEEK and a previous book I never got any e-mails saying it has been shipped or anything, I did get that book. I hope the book I am going to order this weekend won’t be delayed….
OMG!!! I just finished The Charmed Return! It was sooo good. I hope Harper Collins commits to another book or 2!
I’ve never ordered a book from Barnes and Noble, we get things through Amazon. This year I got The Charmed Return the day it came out, and last year I got The Enchanted Quest the day BEFOR it was suppose to came out!
Its been a while since I got back on here (oh, college). But I finished the book and… I’m sad. I’m sad that the ending pretty much gave it a “THE END” sign. I feel like I’ve left Faerie…
Jazzie, I think there could be more to it though.
Michele ive been having a few problembs with them too. like the books are always really late and the traking system isnt as clear as i remeber but as long as i got the book im happy(witch i did) i read it all in one sitting!!! it was absolutly amazing mr.jones! i really hope they make new one! do you think if one of us started something on Facebook or something like that that said dont stop the series or something along the lines of that and get lots of people to join it that it would show a statement to them? or should we just let it be?
hey
when you tell us who winn the draw competition??
Jazzie- i think the Charmed Return left a lot of potential for another book. Maybe there will be another one!
AFJ. Shona - Arya, who organised the competition is giving one person an extra few days to send her pictures in a better format - then we’ll find the winner.
Liz - Glad you liked the book. Yes, organising something on Facebook or similar would probably be a good idea if you would like to see a 7th book.
Its only right for there to be a seventh book because seven is such an important number in the story
unfortunately I am still waiting for my book. I am getting rather annoyed. It got dispatched by angus and robertson on the 20 January and I am still waiting. I am getting fed up. I better get it by this week.
You have a point there Shannon I didn’t even think of it that way until you brought it up nice thinking.
That had a bitter-sweet ending to it Mr.Jones and I love it.
Liz, I’ve only had problems this year, last year it was fine. Maybe it’s because the books come through the mail and not UPS anymore. I pre-ordered another book Friday (it comes out this coming Tuesday) hopefully it comes on time, that means I should get it on Thursday.
Shannon, that is a really good point about the seven! I never thought about it that way.
AFJ, if you were to write more of the series, how many more books do you think YOU could do. I am not thinking about the publishers, but just in general, how many more books do you think the series would be if you wrote more.
AFJ. Michele - at the moment, the publishers haven’t said they want any more books at all. But - that being said - I definitely have a storyline worked out (partially) for a 7th book - and I’m pretty sure I could come up with more stuff for other books. I even had an idea for some short stories about things that happened with the 6 princesses before Tania went missing. But you do have to understand that the way things are right now, no further books are planned. The publishers need to change their mind - or have their mind changed for them if there are to be any more Faerie Path books.
Hi mr. Allan
I was wondering if you could draw a picture of edric and put in up in the gallery of pictures?
I was just wondering if you had a storyline for other books just in case. Yes, the publishers need to change their minds.
Oh how exciting!!! Im so glad you have another storyline worked out (partially)! Mr. Allan, if you showed all of these comments to the publishers, and they see the demand for a seventh book is so high, would they be more likely to publish it?
AFJ. Melissa - can I think about this? My problem with drawing Edric is that I’m pretty sure every one of you has a very clear idea in their head what they think Edric looks like - what Edric looks like to them - and I’m a bit concerned that almost everyone would come back to me and say - ‘Hey, your picture doesn’t look anything like MY Edric!”
Rachael - I’m quite certain the publishers would want to see hundreds of comments like this before they would even consider another book.
