Question: Are you going to write a sequel for (insert book here)?

Answer: Here’s the current status of all my series (or stand alone books):

Timeless Fairy Tales – Series ends with book #11 (Snow White).The main plot will conclude in the Fairy Tale Enchantress series.
Fairy Tale Enchantress – The first four books are available out of a total of six books planned for this series.
Hall of Blood and Mercy – This urban fantasy series is complete and there will be more books in this world in the future.
Court of Midnight and Deception – A complete urban fantasy trilogy set in the same world as the Hall of Blood and Mercy.
Elves of Lessa – Four books are planned for this arc (book 4 coming in Summer/Fall 2023).
Second Age of Retha – Books 4 and 5 are coming in the future. Book 4 is scheduled for Fall/Winter 2022.
Snow Queen – This series is finished, although some of the plot points continue in the Timeless Fairy Tales and the Fairy Tale Enchantress series.
My Life at the M.B.R.C. – This series is finished.
Life Reader – Yes there will be sequel, but it will be several years before I can get to it.
King Arthur and Her Knights – Series is finished and no more books will be released.
Princess Ahira – This book is standalone and no more books will be released.
Robyn Hood – Series is finished and no more books will be released.

Question: Are the elves in Twelve Dancing Princesses related to the elves that appear in the Elves of Lessa series?

Answer: No they are not related. They are both a race of Tolkien-like elves and both groups have a subset of their population that “sail across the sea” but the two series are in different fantasy worlds and are not connected in any way.

Question: Is there a list of all your books or a recommended reading order?

Answer: To make it more easier to track which books are out and how the series are connected I made a page with an exhaustive list of every book and series.

Question: Is there a map of the Timeless Fairy Tales world?

Answer: Yes! There is a world map and a detailed map of Verglas on the Timless Fairy Tales series page (click here).

Question: Is there a list or timeline of the events that happen during the Timeless Fairy Tales series?

Answer: Yes! BUT IT IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS so you might want to finish all the books before you read it. I have a timeline available on the Timless Fairy Tales series page (click here) and that page also links to two different fan-made timelines, which are even more detailed than mine!

Question: Who are these mysterious champions you’re constantly talking to/about?

Answer: That would be you. No, seriously. If you’re here, reading my blog, reading my stuff, you are my champion. Okay, calling you MY champion is a bit possessive. It would be better to say you are a champion for me. A champion is, according to dictionary.com, a person who fights for or defends any person or cause. Hello champion, I am your person.

Question: Will your books be available in paperback? (Or audio books?)

Answer: Yes to paperback! Almost all of my old books are now available in paperback, the only exceptions are the Robyn Hood books and Life Reader (they need to undergo a typo hunt that I don’t have time for at this very moment). And all my new releases will be made into paperbacks, typically about 5-9 months after their release.

Currently, Red Rope of Fate, and the Hall of Blood and Mercy Series are available in audio. I will not be releasing all of my books in audio format but you can expect an audiobook version of Court of Midnight and Deception in 2022 (probably not till summertime).
