FAQ

When I started this site, I never wanted to make a FAQ page. I love people asking questions in the comments or sending them to my email. But now my email load has gotten so heavy I think it is best for everyone that I answer some of the most common questions here:

Can you get out of my way?

Excuse me (slides to the side).

Can you send an email to Stephenie Meyer for me? I promise I won’t tell anyone.

Not if I value my life.

What is your book about?

It is called Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse, is the first in a series, and will be out in late 2009. More info is at www.branhambric.com.

Can I read some chapters of your book?

Sure, email me and ask.

Is TwilightGuy.com just a plot by Stephenie Meyer’s publishers to get guys to read the books?

No. That rumor was rubbish to the core.

I emailed you three weeks ago, but no reply. What gives?

OR You said you would affiliate with me, but my link is not up. What gives?

OR You haven’t updated your Youtube channel in weeks. What gives?

I am extremely busy with college, my book, TwilightGuy, KalebNation.com, my radio show, and writing the sequel to The Farfield Curse. I get behind. I will get to you ASAP.

You haven’t replied to my emails. Should I email your agent instead?

NO. He is even busier than me.

Someone named Kaleb N came on a chatroom and claimed to be you. Was it you?

Maybe. I usually go under a fake name though so nobody knows it’s me. A good idea is to test whoever claims to be me in order to get rid of the impostors (and yes, they are out there). Send a question to my email address and tell the person to answer it in the chatroom.

Are you really a girl named Kalebetta using a random guy’s photo from Flickr and planning to dominate the world through this site?

Darn.

Why don’t you friend people on Facebook?

People tracked down where I go to college through my Facebook, which was freaky. I now only friend people I know. Try my Myspace instead.

Do you edit your eyebrows on your photos, or are you distantly related to Gandalf?

In some of the more drastic photos, my eyebrows were redrawn for effect. It lets me use the same face for many different expressions

Where can I listen to your radio show?

My show is mainly heard on stations in the US east coast, UK, and Canada. It is easier, though, to go to www.top5live.com and listen there from anywhere.

Why are you Kaleb Krew on your radio show?

I answer this question here.

I just made a comment advertising my site/Youtube/Myspace. I now realize it was stupid to do that. Will you please remove my blatant advertising which I should have known was not allowed?

Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.

I think I saw you in public. Was it you?

Was he wearing a dark coat, carrying a snake-tipped cane, and sporting a swishy cape? If not, probably not.

Are you going to write about all the books in The Twilight Saga?

Yes.

Did you get to read an advance copy of Breaking Dawn?

No.

Were you at Stephenie’s signing in Frisco, Texas?

No.

Were you interviewed on TV?

No. Some people mentioned me to the news, but I was not there.

I run a Twilight site and we want to interview you. How do we do it?

Email me.

What do you use to make your videos?

I use a Flip Ultra video camera with Sony Vegas 8.0 for editing.

Gimme GJ’s email address! We’ll stone him with copies of Twilight!

Unfortunately…no.

Judging by your FAQ page, I’m guessing you’re a Lemony Snicket fan. Am I right?

Shhhh.

Added June 2008: If we can’t friend you on Facebook, why do you have the icon at the bottom of your site?

That’s so other people can’t set up fake accounts claiming to be me (it’s happened). If it is not the profile linked at the bottom, it is not me.

Added June 2008: My comments are not appearing, and it says I am being moderated. What happened?

Some people spam this site trying to get other people to visit their Myspace pages. You cannot put a link to your site anywhere other than the URL box. My system automatically holds your comments if you try to solicit others with your pages, email address or IM. If this happened by mistake, email me and I will take care of it.

The reason for this is that a large group of my readers are kids, and in order to protect them from various creeps who do exist, I don’t want them being lured into some odd person’s website by mistake through a comment on my site.

Added June 2008: I have written a book and would like you to review it. Where do I send it?

I am weeks behind on book reviews. By the time I get to an ARC, it is usually already out, on and off the lists and on a classics shelf. But if you’re willing for a month or two reading time, email me. Unfortunately, I can only read books being put out by a publisher or writers already represented by a literary agent– I love reading people’s writing, so this is for purely legal reasons, and nothing against other writers.

Added June 2008: Who designs your websites?

I design them myself. I use Photoshop CS for the images and Wordpress for the back-end content management. I do not use the latest version of Wordpress, because I actually like the previous version better
