SO hows it going, Ms Darksbane a fan of your work i have a question. Just wondering if or will there be anymore Dakota books coming out my way or are we done with Dakota?

I have only written what I consider her "Origins arc". I'm working on the next book, albeit slowly while we deal with some personal family issues. My health has been exceedingly poor the past several months, until I was finally given a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia which allowed me to get onto medications that are ACTUALLY helping me! So, as sorry as I am to my fans for having been so long astray on writing Dakota stories faster, I intend to write them faster this next quarter and the year that follows. I have so many Dakota stories to tell, and I don't want to let you down! My health just hasn't been cooperative, nor has my life in general lately.
If you want to be sure you see the next release notifications as soon as possible, please go join our newsletter (on our site) and like our facebooks. We have one for Darksbane Books where we announce new releases, but if you want to like mine and Anna's author pages, you'll get the most updates.
Also, we have a Patreon. If you want to help us put out books faster, this is the best way to do so. I know you already pay for the books, but you have to remember that we're indies and we have to pay for everything that gets our books to print (or digital). I ask that people join our Patreon ONLY if you REALLY want to see us succeed and just want another way to help us get books out faster. Otherwise, I do offer that at $1 pledge level, you get lots of extra posts, behind the scenes stuff, and access to everything we post there. So at the very basic level, you get something for your money.

Long-winded answer is long-winded: Yes, there are more Dakota books to come. I'm sorry for how slow I am. Stuff is hard right now. If you want to support us more, please check out our Patreon.
I hope this answers your question. Thank you again for being a fan of our works! I really hope to release more enjoyable content to you as soon as possible!

In the meantime, check out our Dying Ashes series if you haven't, and Anna's also completed her Steel & Steam novella series for Kindle Worlds. You don't have to have read anything else in that world to read her series. It stands alone. :) So there's more if you want something to read while you wait! We also have several short stories. If you aren't sure you've read everything we've put out, feel free to message me and I'll help you find it!
Thank you!(less)

Hi I just wanted to know why you and your wifey decided to only co-author some books? I've liked most of your stories so far and was suprised to find out just now that your wifey has actually written several I was unaware of so far and hadn't tried. So why split the marketing and publicising? Why not do it all as a joint effort combining fans for twice the reach?

Shei Darksbane Hi Merciella. Thanks for the question.

The answer is that my wife has become a writing machine in the past year and I can barely keep up with her. We credited our works honestly. You can tell who did the bulk of the writing by whose name is first on a title. And on the few where one of us didn't really do more than edit the other, we include only the main author's name.
If you want to be sure to always keep up with our releases, why not join our mailing list? You can find it easily on Darksbanebooks.com and never miss a new release. :) (less)
