Hello!!! Loved Sparrow and The Hunter. Will Sam and Aisling get their own book or books? Thank you!
L.J. Shen Thank you so much. Sam will get a book, and Aisling will get a book. Whether they are going to get the SAME book is still up for debate. :)

Is it important to read the All Saints High books in the order that they were published?
L.J. Shen It is not important to read All Saints High in a chronological order, and you will not feel "lost" reading Broken Knight or Angry God before you read Pretty Reckless. They are all interconnected standalones.

Hi! I just read In The Unlikely Event and loved it! Will we get a story about Summer?
L.J. Shen Hi!

Currently, I have no plans to write Summer's story, but never say never!

Hi, I just finished the book Angry God and I was wondering, that how did you came up with this amazing book and amazing series? I'm genuinely curious about it.
L.J. Shen Thank you so much. There's obviously a lot of planning involved. When I outlined Vaughn's story I knew it had to pack a punch and explain the person that he is.

Hi. Where can I find a family tree that shows the relationships between the characters in Saints of Sinners and All Saints High series?

Hello! I’ve been absolutely engrossed in the Sinners of Saint/All Saint High world for the last few weeks!!! What area did you base Todos Santos on? I’m a San Diego native, so I am so happy to be reading a series that takes place somewhere familiar! Thank you for creating such a beautiful world; I can’t wait to read more!
L.J. Shen Hi!

I always thought of Todos Santos as a cross between Carlsbad (especially downtown Carlsbad) and Huntington Beach. It is heavy on the SoCal vibe. :)

Hello! Love your Sinners of Saint and All Saint High series . I was wondering if a book about Hunter Fitzpatrick would be included in the All Saints High series? I know he’s not a son/family member of any of the HotHoles - but thought he may be like “Bane” from Sinners of Saint, and be included because he’s part of their clique. That Irish lad intrigues me. ;)
L.J. Shen Hunter will get his own book, and will be the first book in a brand new series I cannot wait to give you! You will ge this story very, very soon.

Hi! My question is about ITUE. What does it mean? Is it an abbreviation for something? How do you pronounce it it? I TOO? Thank You!
L.J. Shen Hey! Yes, it is an abbreviation of the title, which I will reveal on November 8th!

This isn't a question, but more of a statement. I loved 'Broken Knight'. I really couldn't put it down. You are a fabulous author, I enjoy the way you tell a story. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out. Do you know about when that might be? I've read most all of your books and can't wait for more!
L.J. Shen Yes! The next book in the series is Vaughn's book, Angry God. It is set to release early 2020.

Thank you for your kind words.

First off, I have to tell you that I’ve read all of your books and over every single one of them. Your writing and characters are so complex and well developed and I had a couple of questions about your writing habits. Do you have a dedicated space where you write and do you always work in the same way? Do you make extensive notes outlines first or do you just write? Thank you and I hope I’m not being too intrusive!
L.J. Shen You are not being intrusive at all.
I'm a creature of habit and can't really "wing it".
I write in my office, 5 times a week, for three hours each day (give or take).
While I do, the internet is not working, and I made some notes the previous day what I want to write, so I know where I'm going and what I want to accomplish each day.
I am generally not good at outlining an entire story, my characters seem to love to surprise me, but I roll with the punches and let them lead the way.

Thank you for your kind words!

xoxo

L.J I absolutely love your style of writing your so good. I even let my husband listen to your books lol... wink, wink. We've been married 17 yrs this year but together 20 yrs.

Dirty Headlines, Vicious, and starting Ruckus!
L.J. Shen Thank you so much for reading/listening.
And so awesome to know your husband reads me, too!

L.J. Shen Hi Tina,

Thank you so much for your message!

I'm afraid Sparrow is a complete standalone and I have no immediate plans to write another book in this world.

As for All Saints High - you will be able to purchase Pretty Reckless the day it releases. I'm afraid there is no pre-order as of now.
