I had a request to start a blog where you could weigh in on thoughts about a movie based on The Merchant of Death and to discuss casting. This isn’t to say that a movie is imminent. It isn’t. But I’m working with some folks to develop one now, so you never know. (Just don’t hold your breath!)
So, here’s the blog. Have fun.

I have read Morpheus road about 12 times and today while I was reading it I found a part that I don’t remember reading at all! It’s the part where the skeleton guy comes in the carriage thing and takes Marshall to go see Gravedigger at the graveyard, you know during the part at the end of the book? point is, I don’t remember reading it and I think that’s very strange.
Challenger Black says:
@Patrick’s Acolyte
That’s funny, because now that you mention it, I don’t really remember that part either. I guess it’s strange how you notice some things, then you go back and see things you never even noticed before.
Patrick's Acolyte says:
I agree. You think you know something very well and then it changes. like sometimes when you are in that half-asleep state and you do something or say something, but in the morning, you have no memory of doing that. I think it’s really weird.
Challenger Black says:
Yeah, that happens to me a lot. I’ll wake up and completely forget what I did or said, or I’ll try and remember me doing something, but it just doesn’t come back to me. And I agree, it is pretty weird.
Batu warrior says:
aww dang I really need to read morpheus road!! Are they like really good???
GOCLORAL says:
@ Batu warrior
They’re really good. I still like Pendragon better, but still pretty good. I’m waiting for either the school librarian or Soldier of Halla to get the Black so I’ll be prepared for the Blood.

Took a shower and I’m feeling better!
Omg, a girl on my basketball team a year younger than me said THE sweetest thing to me! She said that she wanted to quit because she felt really slow compared to all the other girls. Well, I was at least the 3rd to last person to get finished at the first practice (I’m really slow) and she was the last. Well, I saw that she looked really sad about that and I felt really bad about that. Well she didn’t show up the next practice but the next practice she showed up and I ran the 5 laps with her and she looked happier. I’ve been running with her ever since. Well, today after laps, she said that she didn’t quit because me running with her made her feel better. She is so sweet! 🙂

Site is back up 🙂
Challenger Black says:
Yup. I was worried it would be down for a while, but luckily it’s up and running again 🙂
Holly says:
yeah i wonder why the site was down?!
Challenger Black says:
I was wondering that too. Maybe just a glitch or something.
Patrick's Acolyte says:
Thank the travelers! I thought the website had been taken down or deleted or something but it’s ok because it’s back now!!!!! I was so concerned!!!!! It’s back!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!! At first I thought my computer had broke!! Ya hoo!!!!
Challenger Black says:
Thank you Travelers!
Yeah, I was concerned too because I wasn’t sure how long it would be down here. So glad it’s up and running again though 🙂
Challenger Black says:
Oops. Meant to say how long it would be down for.
Dodger says:
Cool! Glad the site is back up!
I wonder if we’ll hear news about the movie soon? Can’t help wondering, you know? 🙂
Courtney Chetwynde says:
Yaya sites back up)!!!!!!!!!!

I’m on my 14th time reading morpheus road!!! It’s my favourite book but I haven’t read the black yet because I can’t fin it ANYWHERE!! Can anyone just tell me what happens in the black? Don’t spoil anything, but just what it’s about?
Challenger Black says:
@Patrick’s Acolyte
Wow, 14 times! That’s a lot. I’ve only gotten around to reading about 3 times because I’ve been re-reading Pendragon so much.
As for what happens in The Black, I won’t spoil anything but basically it’s Cooper’s side of the story. I can’t say a whole lot about what actually happens because it’ll spoil things that happen, but I will say that we see a lot more of Damon, which is awesome. And you discover what the Black is, and you learn a lot more about the Morpheus Road and whatnot…don’t want to say a whole lot more without spoiling anything.
But I LOVED The Black. The Light was great, but The Black for me was so much better. It was incredible 🙂
Patrick's Acolyte says:
@ challenger Black
I’ve re-read some of the Pendragon books. Iv’e re-read the first, the fourth, the seventh. the ninth, and the tenth.
So, if the first book was from Marshall’s point of view, and the second was from coopers, does that mean the third one might be sydney’s?
Challenger Black says:
@Patrick’s Acolyte
Nobody knows a whole lot about The Blood yet, but I’m guessing it might be from both their perspectives, Marsh and Cooper. Book 1 focused on Marsh, book 2 on Cooper, so I’m wondering if book 3 will focus on both.
Can’t wait for book 3 to come out 🙂
BuggyReality says:
Me neither, it’s going to be great 🙂
Challenger Black says:
@BuggyReality
Indeed 🙂
I can’t wait to find out who Marsh and Cooper get help from. That’s the biggest question in my head right now. I keep wondering if Press might make an appearance, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Patrick's Acolyte says:
What if the Pendragon series and the Morpheus road series were to combine? then, we would have this epic book that would be the best thing ever!
brittany :) says:

Batu warrior says:

brittany :) says:

Courtney Chetwynde says:
I totally agree
EelongCatfolk says:
Yay! The site is back up! ^-^
So, how was everyone’s Thanksgiving?
EelongCatfolk says:
For anyone who doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, how was your weekend?
Batu warrior says:
Eh…. My thanksgiving is never that great…. I was sick, and it was cold…. And my back hurt…. And now I have a show on FRIDAY! I’M IN THE NUTCRACKER!!! I’M SO EXCITEEEDDDD!!!!!
Holly says:

@Batu Warrior
Congrats on getting a part!!!! ^-^ I like preforming in plays, but I’m usually to shy to audition lol ^-^’ Although I did get a part in the Aladdin Jr. play in middle school. You can actually watch a few scenes I was in on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4r9EqQbzBU

EelongCatfolk says:
@Batu Warrior (con’t; had to change classes, didn’t get to finish)
It’s embarrassing, really. My mom’s friend recorded them and posted them before telling us.
@Holly
^-^ Sounds like you had fun! What did your family have: turkey, ham, both, or neither?
@Brittany 🙂
Sorry to hear that. Have you considered asking for an alternative? Like a Cornish Hen, maybe? (Pretty much a chicken for 1; if you like chicken, that is.)
EelongCatfolk says:
What is up with the smiley? Apparently it doesn’t convert from : ) to 🙂 when in the name…….oh well lol Just rambling now XD
Batu warrior says:
@ Holly
My parts would make no sense if you haven;t seen our nutcracker lol but i will still tell you, I’m in party ballet, a dance in the party scene, I’m THE mouse rat, (it’s a solo part it’s really fun) I’m in mother ginger, and I’m a flower dancer, mother ginger is a dance with six girls, and they go into three pairs, it’s fun. And flower is like nine minutes long, and it’s hard to get into, I finally got into it!! Sorry that was long…..
Batu warrior says:

The 12th Traveler says:
If people made a movie on this series that would be flat out epic. I LOVE these books, the movie would be the cherry on top! Please contact somebody from the movie making industry and please let them know how awesome your books are! Please!!!! 😀
Challenger Black says:
@The 12th Traveler
It would indeed be epic 🙂
Dodger says:
I agree. Hopefully they’ll make a movie soon. It would so amazing! 😀
Holly says:
@ Eelong Catfolk

@Batu Warrior
I am a little confused because i haven’t seen it, but it sounds fun! i always thought like dance and stuff was fun, but ive never done it! it seems like you got good parts! 😀
Batu warrior says:
@ Holly
Yeah I love it! I have been dancing since I was three. It’s like my life. But my family’s kinda low on money so I have to take less classes and I was sad…. 🙁 Oh well. Life goes on. 🙂
