    Trials of a Royal Guard Physical Print

    Hello everyone!

    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

    The Rules

Ask Us 12/18/15 - End Of Year · 3:25pm Dec 18th, 2015

Just a reminder, Secrets of a Royal Guard will complete on Monday of next week. Once it has done so I will be on publishing hiatus until 2016. I want to thank you all for your support, comments, and readership in 2015. It has been an amazing year.

2016 will start with the launch of "Sunny's Days." This story will focus on everyone's favorite sun related pony. It begins in the past prior to Memoirs and potentially even Wishes. We'll see Sunny grow up a bit, become an adult, and find her way in the world. Then we'll cut to her becoming the House Guard commander for Princess Celestia and follow that a bit. Finally, we'll see her perspective during the third "of a Royal Guard" story.

I'll also be starting that third "of a Royal Guard" in January as well. The first arc is already outlined quite extensively and has been growing each day since I finished Secrets.

Thank you all again for being my readers, fans, supporters, commentators, and familiar names that make me smile. I hope each and every one of you has a very positive holiday season and a profitable new year.

I'm going to have to start answering more questions each week. Our buffer is filling up! That is okay, though. Keep the questions pouring in and we'll get to them as we can. As always you just need to fill out the Ask Us Form on Quill & Blade.

Icefire asked:

What were your thoughts on Silent's time as a female?

ZeroPony asked:

Anzel, in Memoirs you stated that there is a reason Cadance is a unicorn instead of an alicorn. Is this due to the whole one alicorn of the day and one alicorn of the knight plot point?(I'm assuming it is, just checking for posterity). And Silent Knight, what kinds of feelings would you have if Luna decided to ascend you to an Alicorn of the Night?

Sonic Raynboom asked:

Mr. Clockerson, what do you do when Azurite's not around?

zyr asked:

So, how often have your experiments landed you in the emergency room?

--SweetieBot-- asked:

Knight and Day: Sequal?!?!? I freaking lOVED it

**Beert asked:

You often get questions asking whether you'll write a story or have story ideas about. What about Luna though? Have you ever thought about writing from her perspective?

Cultono asked:

Hey Azurite. Your cutie mark is 3 hearts around a diamond. Could it be it that it represent 3 individuals connected to something greather? Like a 4th individual, perhaps a foal? =)

zyr asked:

So, why did you join the Unicorn Temple in the first place? It does seem like a great place for a mare of your talents, but I'm wondering what prompted the decision initially.

Thank you for all of the questions! The answers are here!

Suddenly I have a sad about Ferrel. Never saw her mother again? Not even to visit? That is rough. It makes me wonder why. Was Ferrel's mother scared of her daughter, or her gift? Did she worry about what other ponies might think of said gift? Something else?

Also, why do I suspect Runic's magical luck has rubbed off on Miley whenever they're together? And why do I not fully believe him?
