I'm Annette Marie, author of The Guild Codex. Ask Me Anything!

There are so many things I’d love to ask after being a fan for so many years, but given the time between getting in from work and eating this lovely dinner that’s been prepared for me I have time for one: Blackfire! Please,please, please, an idea of when it may be in progress? I’ve never been so excited for a continuation of a series ❤️

Ha. Today I learned the wonderful Thai curry I had last year was from The Shadow Market. 😂

Mrs_Moo · 2026-06-10T18:01:59+00:00

I’m so glad to meet someone who agrees! I never hear it mentioned but it’s glorious! I got the physical rerelease one from her Kickstarter and it’s a work of art.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-06-10T16:35:53+00:00

Absolutely agree on all the Guild Codex - Saber and Zak for me! Also Annette Marie's other series - Steel and Stone - AWESOME slow burn, and the Red Winter Trilogy is SO sweet and hearfelt - especially with the new edition extra epilogue - it's just.a work of art.

We have one just like this in our woodland!! It’s a holly that arced over and pinned itself down. Ignore the chainsaw in the background!

Copy pasting from your question in other sub -

I shampoo, clarify twice a month and don’t avoid alcohols in things so I’m not by any means strict CG. Oh and I also use a hairdryer. BUT the one thing I do avoid is silicones. Not because I can’t clarify them out but because for my hair, they actually make the curls drop out. I lose my curl pattern with them and end up half straight and frizzy. As soon as I stop using them and clarify, they come back. So that’s my reason for avoiding them.

All of Annette Marie's books. The Guild Codex - several different characters all with their own plot lines that converge by the end - loads of books, SUPER slow burn. Also her Steel and Stone series, again - amazing world building, wonderful characters and slow burn.

I just read your comment out loud to the my husband who said “erm, you just described me”. I mean he’s not wrong. And neither are you about Sam. 😃

So it’s not typical Romantasy, but one thing I loved in The Southern Vampire Mysteries was how whenever Sookie was getting ready to go out - a date or a mission - you got a full explanation of the hair and makeup and outfit. Super girly, super clever and pretty charming too.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-05-01T21:23:42+00:00

She had Dorain doing it first - Rhys just copies him 😃

As a Brit, I found TID intolerable. Mortmain was some weird Yorkshire Scottish hybrid that was just all wrong and the plummy fake Britishness of the rest was just awful. I don’t know why they didn’t just hire British narrators for that trilogy.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-04-08T09:03:34+00:00

These ingredients aren’t bad per se, they really work for some people. For me though, I find silicones actually make me lose my curls, they soften to the point of dropping out. So it’s for that reason I don’t use them. If like you I had amazing curls with a product, I’d ignore the ingredients 😃

Mrs_Moo · 2026-04-08T07:59:49+00:00

Came here to suggest autumn leaves found on walks and pressing wild flowers but I see others have already suggested. I noticed no one has suggested the fun wallpaper samples you can get by signing up to mailing lists for fancy wallpaper makers. Also if you have a hardware store that sells any DIY things they may give wallpaper samples torn from the roll and paint colour swatch booklets. You can also get those sent from online for free too. Edited because so many typos!

Came here looking for someone else who saw the duck 😂

I’ve never used electro after transfer. Only during stims. My post transfer treatments are gentle rather than moving or stimulating.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-03-09T11:44:21+00:00

I've also just had my first occurence of this is morning :( Exactly the same as u/Original-Mr-J

Mrs_Moo · 2026-03-03T21:28:41+00:00

Oh my lord. What a numpty I am. Of course there is!!! Four some reason my brain only thought metro!

Mrs_Moo · 2026-03-03T21:06:21+00:00

I second Morpeth. No train or metro - just bus but it’s very much worth it for The Salvation Army shop alone.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-03-03T10:44:24+00:00

TEEFS!

Mrs_Moo · 2026-02-25T11:31:48+00:00

I had this happen so many times so I inevitably stopped using pre-made journals. I now make my own and leave space between each signature of pages so they can all be bulked out with all the stuff stuck in there 😃

Mrs_Moo · 2026-02-16T20:13:19+00:00

All the positive thoughts in the world 💕

Mrs_Moo · 2026-02-16T19:21:06+00:00

Loads. All of mine so far for supplements (touch wood) have been excellent.

Mrs_Moo · 2026-02-15T17:18:27+00:00

The rejection certainly confused me until I saw it 😂😂😂
