Those Crazy Ely Brothers  Dear Readers, Guess which non-equine PHANTOM STALLION character I get asked about most? Not Sam or Jen or quirky Calliope (Callie, Queen's "soul mate"), but Jake Ely. I bet you can figure out the questions to these answers. 1. Jake Ely isn't real, but he IS based on one of my former high school students and he has no idea that his literary clone is famous! 2. Jake doesn't have a series of his own, based on his tracking ability (as many of my guy-readers suggested) , but I did propose it, only to be told that boys don't read anything but fantasy. Really? I think it's worth a second try. 3. Jake's one of 7 brothers and they are: Adam, Kit, Quinn, Nate, Brian and Seth. His parents are Maxine and Luke. His grandfather is MacArthur Ely. Thanks to someone who's not me, Wikipedia has great descriptions of the characters in PHANTOM STALLION. You can check them out here: Wikipedia PHANTOM STALLION 4. In my books Jake and Samantha don't have a romantic relationship, but they are very good friends (mostly) and they are on-the-verge of being boyfriend and girlfriend. I think they're both a little bit afraid of messing up their friendship. However, there are 600+ PHANTOM STALLION fan-fiction stories online, and while I haven't read all of them, 99% of those I have checked out feature Sam and Jake in love. Even cooler: I'm amazed at how closely the photos and drawings that illustrate fan fiction resemble the Jake in my imagination. Happy trails!
