[18:28:33] @ gracious-plenty : WooHoo
[18:28:36] @ showmethelove : I liked the idea of all the other baddies fighting it out for power in their city
[18:28:46] @ showmethelove : Sounds good!
[18:28:59] Guenivere : But no more Big, Overlord Bad?
[18:29:11] amckuen : I did too guess we'll see who rose above the others
[18:29:12] Jennifer Estep : I thought it would be interesting to shows what happens after you finally kill the bad guy. There have to be consequences ... which Gin is finding out.
[18:29:13] mlssglbrt9 :
[18:29:19] @ Doppleganger : Ooooh, Widow's Web. Sounds ominous.
[18:29:19] sabby : :grim:ooohhh sounds menacing!! hope we get to see Owen in action again!!
[18:29:29] @ FaeLadyFaye : There has to be a power vacuum.
[18:29:29] @ gracious-plenty : There's still nasty attorney
[18:29:35] mlssglbrt9 : ooooh this sounds like fun!
[18:29:45] Jennifer Estep : No big bad in the next two books, but I have an idea for another nemesis for Gin at some point.
[18:29:50] Guenivere : I keep hoping someone will drop a how on Jonah.
[18:30:14] Jennifer Estep : Jonah is still around in BY A THREAD.
[18:30:24] 2shay :
[18:30:31] @ gracious-plenty : I wanna kick Jonah's ass.
[18:30:38] Jennifer Estep : Yep, there's definitely a power vacuum in Ashland now that Mab is gone.
[18:30:44] Guenivere : And by "house" I mean one of those massive southern mansions or a dark and broody Scottish castle
[18:30:57] amckuen : HATE him
18:31:08] 2shay :
[18:31:13] @ showmethelove : I hate him too lol
[18:31:14] @ FaeLadyFaye : Every kook is going to try and take over. Gin will have to keep the city safe somehow.
[18:31:22] Jennifer Estep : That would probably flatten Jonah, but not his hair or his ego. LOL.
[18:31:44] amckuen : She is going to be so busy how is she going to vacation?
[18:31:45] @ Doppleganger :
[18:31:45] Jennifer Estep : Yep, lots of fighting in the Ashland underworld.
[18:32:03] @ showmethelove : Wouldn't it be nice if we had air elementals to touch us up
[18:32:04] sabby :
[18:32:16] Jennifer Estep : Gin decides to get out of Ashland for a few days to let the dust settle ... but finds herself in trouble on her vacation too.
[18:32:20] @ gracious-plenty : How different is your MA world to EA world?
[18:32:28] @ showmethelove : Of course she does lol
[18:32:28] amckuen : That would be excellent but probaly expensive
[18:32:37] @ gracious-plenty : I'm telling you I want some of that JoJo cream
[18:32:38] Jennifer Estep : I could use an oxygen facial and some other pampering. LOL.
[18:32:49] amckuen : Me too
[18:33:03] @ gracious-plenty : Will Owen be joining her on this Vacation?????
[18:33:38] Jennifer Estep : Mythos Academy is its own separate world, and it's mythology-based. But the MA series has a lot of the same elements -- a strong, sassy heroine, magic/world building, and lots of fight scenes. But it's definitely a YA book.
[18:33:45] @ showmethelove : Yes the need some smexy time
[18:33:51] @ showmethelove : they
[18:33:56] Jennifer Estep : Yes, Owen, Finn, and Bria all go with Gin on vacation.
[18:34:13] @ FaeLadyFaye : And by they do you mean the readers, showme?
[18:34:19] @ gracious-plenty : I know that showme has raved about this series too
[18:34:23] amckuen : That should be interesting, I want to go too
[18:34:24] mlssglbrt9 : do you think it is more fun to create the world for your characters as opposed to having it set in our regular non-magical world?
[18:34:26] 2shay :
18:34:32] @ gracious-plenty : I can't wait to get to it
[18:34:35] Guenivere : I know that we're still working up to book 6, but are there any hints you can give about WIDOW'S WEB?
[18:34:40] @ showmethelove : lol yes me! and you guys
[18:34:55] Jennifer Estep : I like coming up with the world because then I can put things where I want them instead of where they might be in real life.
[18:35:03] @ Doppleganger : I need some Bria / Finn smexy time. They're so cute together.
[18:35:20] mlssglbrt9 : I imagine it does give you a lot more freedom to "play" too!
[18:35:20] Jennifer Estep : You will find out a lot more about Owen and his past in WIDOW'S WEB.
[18:35:26] @ gracious-plenty : I like how unique you elemental world is. Different and very refreshing
[18:35:27] @ showmethelove : Me too Dopple!
[18:35:43] mlssglbrt9 : I agree g-p!
[18:35:58] amckuen : I like that Finn has finally met a challenge in Bria
[18:36:01] Jennifer Estep : It does give me more freedom, and I like coming up with new places for the characters to visit and new people for them to meet.
[18:36:13] @ showmethelove : Owen sounds so sexy when you/Gin describe him. Those eyes and that scar. YUM!
[18:36:21] Jennifer Estep : Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the elemental magic in the books.
18:36:31] Greencat :
[18:36:40] @ Doppleganger : I like that you didn't stick with the traditional elements (Ice instead of Water...Electricity is an offshoot element).
[18:36:49] @ Doppleganger : How many more offshoot elements are there?
[18:37:30] Jennifer Estep : Electricity, metal, acid, and water are some of the offshoots of the four main elements.
[18:37:35] @ gracious-plenty : Did you have anyone in mind when you created Owen? Appearence? Celebrity?
[18:37:45] @ showmethelove : Yikes! Acid
[18:37:51] sabby : ACID.... OUCH!!
[18:37:54] amckuen : Oooohhh acid that sounds painful
[18:38:05] @ gracious-plenty : ouch
[18:38:10] Jennifer Estep : Not really anyone in mind when I came up with Owen.
[18:38:17] @ showmethelove : I don't think we have an Owen. Purple eyes are hard to find
[18:38:21] @ Doppleganger : Have we met an acid elemental yet? If so I missed it. Sounds....messy.
[18:38:30] @ showmethelove : in the gallery
[18:38:41] @ FaeLadyFaye : That would be a nasty fight.
[18:38:42] Jennifer Estep : Nope, no acid elemental yet.
[18:38:51] @ gracious-plenty : Ya Owen was added in gallery
[18:39:06] @ showmethelove : oh yeah, Dopple added him
[18:39:28] sabby : why didn't Fletcher reveal more of his true self to Gin?
[18:39:39] @ Doppleganger : Acid is an offshoot of fire?
[18:39:39] @ gracious-plenty : I loved the scene when Ginn went to rescue Finn/Bria
[18:39:54] @ gracious-plenty : their little distraction...great humor in your books
[18:39:55] Jennifer Estep : Fletcher wanted Gin to figure out what she wanted from life.
[18:40:16] @ FaeLadyFaye : How could she do that without all the facts?
[18:40:28] Jennifer Estep : As Finn would say, no woman can resist him for long. LOL.
[18:40:41] @ gracious-plenty : The closest steamy scene with caine/Ginn was sooooo..well steamy
[18:40:59] amckuen : Yes it was
[18:40:59] Jennifer Estep : Fletcher left clues for her. It was up to Gin whether she wanted to follow them or not.
[18:41:14] @ gracious-plenty : Will we get to see any super hero elemental action from Owen?
[18:41:19] Jennifer Estep : Thanks! Glad you liked that scene.
[18:41:32] @ showmethelove : the closet scene was steamy.
[18:41:42] amckuen : Love Fletcher
18:41:43] @ Doppleganger : And kudos to you for including condoms in your sex scenes.
[18:41:47] Jennifer Estep : Well, he did show off some of his fighting skills in SPIDER'S REVENGE.
[18:41:56] sabby : I thought it was to keep her "hard" rather than too soft by good deeds. So she would have the fortitude to take on Mab.... oops
[18:42:03] @ gracious-plenty : YES condoms!!!!!
[18:42:13] @ gracious-plenty : safe sex LOVE IT
[18:42:16] @ showmethelove : He brings the hammer
[18:42:37] Jennifer Estep : Fletcher definitely trained Gin with an eye on her battling Mab one day. He knew it was pretty much inevitable given what Mab did to Gin's family.
[18:42:46] @ gracious-plenty : yes he did
[18:43:38] @ gracious-plenty : Hey Mab that's what I think of her
[18:43:55] Jennifer Estep : Everyone loves to hate Mab. LOL.
[18:43:58] amckuen : I agree
[18:44:00] mlssglbrt9 : LOL
[18:44:16] Greencat : Mab was a brilliant villian thou
[18:44:33] @ Doppleganger : How much of Fletcher's training was to prepare Gin to survive the fight with Mab, and how much was so that Fletcher could have revenge on Mab through Gin?
[18:44:36] amckuen : She did pull out all the stops
[18:44:41] @ gracious-plenty : She was GC....nasty villian
[18:44:43] Jennifer Estep : It was fun writing someone who was so deliciously evil.
[18:44:48] sabby : I loved her short portraying her is this overly indulged spoiled little brat of a child!!!
[18:45:10] Jennifer Estep : It was more about preparing Gin to survive the fight with Mab.
[18:45:18] 2shay :
[18:45:21] @ gracious-plenty : never knew what to expect.. Although her hitting on Ginn in the BR was great
[18:45:24] Jennifer Estep : Thanks! Glad you liked the Mab story.
[18:45:36] @ FaeLadyFaye : Preparing Gin for the fight served both purposes.
[18:46:05] sabby : oh yeah now that Gin has become more comfortable with her magic will we see her practice some offensive moves, everything she does is usually defensive?
[18:46:06] @ Doppleganger : That it did. Wonderfully.
[18:46:22] Jennifer Estep : True. But Fletcher wanted Gin to live more than he wanted revenge on Mab. She killed Gin's family. She just sent some of her goons after him.
[18:46:36] amckuen :
[18:46:41] @ showmethelove : Will Gin be able to go back to her house?
[18:46:45] @ gracious-plenty : Did Fletcher know what Ginn was capiable of, meaning here hidden Ice magic
[18:46:50] Jennifer Estep : Gin will continue to learn about her magic in the coming books.
[18:46:53] sabby : Well I mean not including the knives!!
[18:47:08] Jennifer Estep : Yes, Gin will go back to her house ... it is just ridden with bullet holes now. LOL.
[18:47:24] Jennifer Estep : Yes, Fletcher knew about Gin's magic.
[18:48:04] @ gracious-plenty : I want to know how a gal could be comfortable with all the metal strapped to her body. My back would hurt after a while
[18:48:23] amckuen : When he sent Bria away did he know that it wasn't her with both magic
[18:48:34] mlssglbrt9 : how about chafing!
[18:48:55] Jennifer Estep : Chafing ... that's funny. LOL.
[18:49:16] @ gracious-plenty :
[18:49:17] Greencat has logged off the chat on Wed 26 Oct 2011 - 18:49
[18:49:19] Jennifer Estep : Yes, Fletcher knew that Gin was the one with both Ice and Stone magic.
[18:49:29] @ gracious-plenty : GC
[18:49:36] Guenivere has been disconnected on Wed 26 Oct 2011 - 18:49 (session timeout)
[18:49:51] @ gracious-plenty : I hated that Fletcher departed so early on. I really liked him
[18:50:23] @ showmethelove : His death was gross.
[18:50:31] Jennifer Estep : Me too. I almost hated killing him off in SPIDER'S BITE, but his death is what really propels Gin through the book so it had to be done.
[18:50:35] @ showmethelove : I don't like to think about it.
[18:50:55] amckuen : Yes it was gruesome
[18:50:57] mlssglbrt9 : do you feel bad about killing off characters? or happy about it sometimes?
[18:51:16] Guenivere joined the chat on Wed 26 Oct 2011 - 18:51
[18:51:17] @ gracious-plenty : Yes Whit...very
[18:51:25] @ gracious-plenty : and she's back
[18:51:50] Jennifer Estep : It depends. As a writer, I know that it's necessary for the story sometimes, but as a reader, it can get to me, especially if it's a character I really like reading about.
[18:51:50] Jennifer Estep : It depends. As a writer, I know that it's necessary for the story sometimes, but as a reader, it can get to me, especially if it's a character I really like reading about.
[18:52:05] @ Doppleganger : I did like the little near-death reunion...was that 'real'?
[18:52:32] Guenivere : I didn't forget about the random emoticons, GP - I actually left the room that time ^^"
[18:52:38] @ gracious-plenty : Do you go to con-con ever?
[18:52:42] mlssglbrt9 : I can imagine that if we, as readers, get really invested in a character, the author is even more so!
[18:52:48] Jennifer Estep : Gin isn't sure, but she got to see Fletcher again and say goodbye, so she's okay with it.
[18:52:59] amckuen : But not Mab right
[18:53:15] Jennifer Estep : I usually go to a couple of the romance conferences a year, like RT and RWA.
[18:53:15] sabby : have you given any thoughts on a who could play these characters if it ever gets optioned for a movie?
[18:53:41] amckuen : I was glad that she got some answers from Fletcher
[18:53:43] Jennifer Estep : I think Jennifer Garner would be good as Gin. As for Finn, maybe somebody like Hugh Jackman.
[18:54:18] 2shay :
[18:54:23] @ Doppleganger : Pssst, Shay, your avatar is Gin!
[18:54:32] Guenivere : Do you think any of these charracters will ever have kids?
[18:54:44] sabby : sounds good could see her during that series
[18:54:58] 2shay : Yay
[18:55:13] Jennifer Estep : I'm not sure. I'm up to five books now, but only a few months have passed in the book world.
[18:55:39] sabby : Alias, couldn't remember!! yeah she kicked but enough!!! LOL
[18:55:49] @ gracious-plenty : Hey another HAWTIE could moved into town in the future eh
[18:56:03] @ Doppleganger : How does the elemental talent pass from parent to child? Is it a sure thing if both parents are elementals? Can children be offshoots of the parents element?
[18:56:04] @ gracious-plenty : JG is adorable
[18:56:30] @ gracious-plenty : Great ? Dopp
[18:56:46] Jennifer Estep : It's not a sure thing, but if the parents are elements, then their kid is likely to be an elemental too. Children can be offshoots of the parents' elements.
[18:57:05] @ showmethelove : I sure hope I was born with some kind of power in that town
[18:57:06] sabby : I for whatever reason picture Bradley Cooper in my head for Finn
[18:57:23] amckuen : That could be interesting
[18:57:28] Jennifer Estep : Bradley Cooper would be a good choice for Finn too.
[18:57:33] @ Doppleganger : Sorry for grilling....but are the vamps in the EA world born or made?
[18:57:34] @ gracious-plenty : YES Sabby
[18:57:36] @ gracious-plenty :
[18:57:56] sabby : hhhmm a kid from Gin and Owen would be amazing!!!
[18:57:59] Guenivere : Does that mean that if Gin and Owen had a child, that child could be ice, stone, metal, water or a mix thereof?
[18:58:02] Jennifer Estep : No problem. Vamps are born, not made.
[18:58:04] @ showmethelove : It's interesting that the vamps can feed off sex
[18:58:05] amckuen : Yes Bradley Cooper niiiice
[18:58:05] @ gracious-plenty : I liked the old women merc
[18:58:16] @ gracious-plenty : I would like to see her and the kiddo again
[18:58:25] Jennifer Estep : Yes, if GIn and Owen had a kid, it could have a variety of magic.
[18:58:37] amckuen : Why didn't Fletcher train Gin and Finn
[18:58:42] sabby : Yeah how did that old woman get around so fast??
[18:58:48] @ gracious-plenty : Born...Hmmm interesting
[18:58:54] Jennifer Estep : I think it would be fun to bring Gentry back someday. We'll see what happens.
[18:59:12] sabby : Finn was too impatient, Fletcher said he wouldn't make a good assasin
[18:59:17] amckuen : I liked Gentry she was spunky
[18:59:32] Jennifer Estep : Fletcher did train Gin and Finn. Gin just had more patience and took to the training better than Finn did, although Finn is a better shot than Gin is.
[18:59:37] @ gracious-plenty : I liked that you left that open just in case
[18:59:40] @ showmethelove : She was quick
[18:59:48] @ gracious-plenty : She could be a great ally for Ginn possibly
[19:00:17] 2shay : I have to go....Bree wants to go out...bye

[19:01:16] @ gracious-plenty : I love the sis/bro relationship
[19:01:16] Jennifer Estep : So I think the chat was supposed to go until 8 p.m. Any last questions?
[19:01:17] sabby : yeah Finn and all his connections!!!
[19:01:42] @ gracious-plenty : We really appreciate you stopping in for the hour Jennifer
[19:01:43] amckuen : Over all ready

Thu Nov 17, 2011 11:03 pm
Great chat! Question.. Owen is a metal elemental thingy. 
Does that mean his sister is one also? I never noticed if it said it in the books and I wondered sense during the chat there was so much talk of elements and what the children get from there parents.
or most likely I have no idea what I'm talking about!!!
