Thanks, Mr. Stover!
If I may ask a few more questions:
Who is your favorite SW character from the movies?
How do you feel about fans' responses to TRAITOR?
How do you feel about TRAITOR? Looking back, is there anything you would change about the book? How do you feel about it in comparison with your other books?
If you were asked to return to the NJO (a purely speculative question, since all the remaining books have been assigned to other authors), would you?
If you are invited to attend Celebration III, will you?
Thank you for your time.
P.S. Any chance of your coming over to the official site message boards and answering a few questions there?

Hurm. I seem to be the 100th signature on the "Free Flash Gordon" petition. Keen.
I think I should get a prize. Like Iron Dawn or Jericho Moon, which I can't seem to find anywhere.
Oh well, a man can hope.
Keep up the good work, Mr. Stover.

I would just like to take this opportunity to express to Mr. Stover how much I enjoyed reading Traitor. I found it to be both entertaining and inspiring. It has gotten me interested in your other writings and I plan to read them as soon as I can. You have gained a new fan.

Well, I'm very intrigued now! 
I have always wanted to try some Fantasy work outside Star Wars (even though that has been very hard with The NJO), and now I have found something I may try.
Can someone link me to the Traitor excerpt?
I'm writing a short story for an english essay and I need the inspiration. Thanks.
And, one question to Mr Stover, when are you going to get a website?? 
Keep up the good work.
Best

Mr. Stover, I loved the book, one of the best of star wars. I could hardly put it down. I'm really looking forward to Shatterpoint.
Now you say you are lucky Del Rey let you write the book that you wanted to write. What was Del Rey's process of choosing which authors got to write which books? Did all the authors get to pick which book of the NJO they wanted to write based on the content of the book?
Also, can you say if Yoda is going to be in Shatterpoint, possibly some action? Is it going to be based solely around Mace Windu as Traitor was Jacen?
Thanks for taking the time to answer everyones questions.

For someone that asked, here's an excerpt on Amazon from Traitor: Traitor excerpt
when are you going to get a website??
I agree, when?

<<Who is your favorite SW character from the movies?>>
Han Solo.
<<How do you feel about fans' responses to TRAITOR?>>
Very, very pleased. I don't even mind the negative ones. I was honestly expeccting to get a lot more flack than I have.
<<How do you feel about TRAITOR? Looking back, is there anything you would change about the book? How do you feel about it in comparison with your other books?>>
I think TRAITOR is my best book so far. I think (hope) SHATTERPOINT will be better, and CAINE BLACK KNIFE better still. That's my plan: to make each book better than the one before it. Hey, everybody needs a goal, huh?
<<If you were asked to return to the NJO (a purely speculative question, since all the remaining books have been assigned to other authors), would you?>>
Not at this point. I'm a slow writer, and I'm a little overcommitted, between SHATTERPOINT and my Overworld novels.
<<If you are invited to attend Celebration III, will you?>>
If somebody's picking up my expenses, sure. I'm Scottish, y'know. It may be a stereotype, but in my case it's true: I'm cheap as a dirt sandwich.
<<What was Del Rey's process of choosing which authors got to write which books? Did all the authors get to pick which book of the NJO they wanted to write based on the content of the book?>>
I can't really say. In my case, I didn't pick it; Jenni Smith approached me with word that there was a specific part of the NJO that Shelly Shapiro thought I'd be right for. I agreed. I don't know how it worked with the other NJO authors.
<<Also, can you say if Yoda is going to be in Shatterpoint, possibly some action? Is it going to be based solely around Mace Windu as Traitor was Jacen?>>
I can't tell you anything about SHATTERPOINT. Sorry.
<<When will you get a website?>>
When I stop being so lazy, I guess . . .

Woo! Its nice to have a UK author on the bench. I'm welsh - another UK country with cheapo people and funny accents
I'm writing an english essay right now, and our objective was a narrative with a twist at the end. Do you have any tips you could give me?
Thanks

Kansasnavy . .. that seen about Anikan was also one of my favorites. I think the future authors can do a whole lot with this.
These arn't questions just things I'm interested in that I might discover in SHATTERPOINT. So really its just a statemnt fot Mr. Stover to display my excitement for the book, especially after reading TRAITOR.
1. How does Mace Windu view the Force?
2. Why does Mace seem to have more faith in the prophecy of the chosen one than Yoda?
3. What kind of leader is a Jedi on a battlefield? We saw some of this in AOTC, and I have some idea, but is a large battle really what the Jedi are organized for? This will be interesting to see developed. (Well, I guess Luke was quite the Leader in some large battles wasn't he?)
4. What kind of "eye" are the Jedi keeping on the Senate?
I can't wait . . .

Um, sorry to get your hopes up, Admiral -- I should have said, I'm of Scottish DESCENT.
By nationality, I'm pure Yankee. (I've always wondered: who are the YankERS?)
I'm glad some of you are looking forward to SHATTERPOINT. I wish I could talk about it without spoiling anything, but I just can't.

MWS - you ever heard of Battlefield Band?
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon and developed an affinity for bagpipes after dating a bagpiper and this band really kicks some serious Scottish music...
