Brant

1. Both "Callisto's Way" and "Times" are quite long. Do you envision an end to either of those stories?
2. Both stories are rather intense at times. Do you find it hard to write emotional scenes?

Wight

1. You have written both short and multi-part stories. Do you like one format more than the other?
2. Your stories range over a lot of situations. Where do you get your story ideas? Can you give some examples?

Tower

1. "A Promise" credits Melissa as co-author. What was it like collaborating with another author?
2. You just finished "Forever Maternal", which leaves "Iolaus & Callisto" as your only unfinished story in Callisto's Tales. Do you plan on finishing it?

Melissa

1. "The Lie" is your longest story on Callisto's Tales. Why did you write it (you may have answered it above)? Why is it in first person?
2. You also write a lot of "less serious" Callisto-related fiction. Does that make it easier to write serious stories, or do you find yourself adding unintended humor into your stories?

Darth Skeye

1. You introduced the major character of Petris in your stories. Why did you do this? Why not a character that appeared in Xena or Hercules?
2. Each of your stories has continued in the same "Universe" as the previous one. Have you thought about writing a different sort of Callisto story?
3. "Callisto and the Crow" by Pharo seems to use your "Universe" as a starting point. How do you feel about that? Are you flattered? What do you think about the Petris' death?

Robert Buckley

1. Both "More Sinned Against Than Sinning" and "Callisto Explains It All" are set a few years from now. Why did you set these stories in the present?
2. From your e-mail address I surmise that you live in the UK. Has Hercules and Xena been shown through season 4 and 3, respectively? If not, how have you kept up with the Callisto episodes so you could add the multiple-choice question in "Callisto Explains It All" chapter 6?
