Starfall was the first Internet site to be recognized by Children’s Software & New Media Review as the highest rated product in their Early Elementary category.

recognized Starfall as one of their top five educational websites.

The Reading Teacher named one of “Five Internet sites too good to miss” (May 2006).

Starfall has been recognized by top educational sites including: Schutz set up Starfall for to help children with learning to read, aimed at pre-k to 2 grade. When Stephen Schultz was younger had difficulty reading and after years of hard work he has become a very successful publisher and writer as well as attaining a PhD in Physics. Stephen Schutz and poet Susan Polis Schutz, who are also the creators of Blue Mountain Arts Publishing Company. As a matter of fact (a tiny tidbit from SOS), she was one of Princess Elia's lady companions in King's Landing, in the first few years after Elia married Rhaegar.The Starfall website was developed by Dr. And boats (though not many of their own). I will give you this much, however Ashara Dayne was not nailed to the floor in Starfall, as some of the fans who write me seem to assume. needless to say, All Will Be Revealed in Good Time. Not to mention the colors of everybody's eyes.Īs to your speculations about Catelyn and Ashara Dayne. With such a huge cast of characters, just keeping track of the =years= drives me half mad sometimes. I do intend to publish a timeline as an appendix in one or other of the later volumes, but even when I do, I am not certain I'm going to start detailing things down to months and days.

probably closer to eight or nine months or thereabouts. It is always a balancing act, since I want the chapters to have a certain dramatic flow, I worry about certain storylines being forgotten if they are 'off stage' too long, and there is a constant tug of war between character time and reader time (a character may have two chapters, taking place one day apart, but if two hundred pages of stuff about other characters separate those two chapters, the reader is going to perceive a long timeĪs having passed, even if I begin the second chapter with, 'When he woke up the very next morning.'Īll of which is a long winded way of saying, no, Jon was not born 'more than 1 year' before Dany. And then just when I have it exactly right, my editors weigh in from both sides of the Atlantic, each suggesting a slightly different chapter order. You would not believe how often I reshuffle the chapters, trying to find the one true perfect sequence. I will confess, the chronology of these books sometimes gives me fits. I see what you're driving at here, I guess. I will spare you the rest of my speculations about the date of Jon's birth, since their only real conclusion is that Catelyn seems a little thick when she thinks that Ned fathered Jon as he returned 'Dawn' to Ashara Dayne.Īh. Now, if this was after Jon's chapter - and (apparent) name day, it could be concluded, that Jon was born more than 1 year before Dany, and at least 3 months before Queen Rhaella left King's Landing. Dany's 14th name day was at the end of her chapter, on the far side of the Dothraki sea. In his first chapter at the Wall, Jon reflects that his name day passed a fortnight before. I'm trying to figure out how Jon's day of birth fits in the timeline of the war, and assumed you wouldn't just tell me when he was exactly born.:-)
