Books 6-10 are already available on Amazon and Audible in the US. You have to search for the individual titles, though, as they do not appear on the main series page. These audiobooks were produced using Amazon's "Virtual Voice" AI narration platform, which is currently in beta. My understanding is that the books from this platform will become available worldwide once it moves out of beta, but I don't know when that might be.

Other than trying to build my audience for my YA fantasy series... deciding what to write next!

Seeing people get super excited about what you've written. No question.

The best piece of advice I could give would be to learn your craft. I really didn't know what I was doing when I first started writing. I had some ability, but when I spent six months with a professional editor, my writing improved dramatically. It was the best thing that could have ever happened for my novels. Find a writing coach, or a good editor, or even a writer's group, and get feedback, and be willing to learn.

I seem to have an overabundance of ideas... I've written 8 novels so far, and I've got general outlines for about 8 more. I'm taking a hiatus from actual writing right now, to work on building my audience for my main series. But ideas still come all the time, from all over the place.

I don't really get writer's block. Ever since finishing my first novel, I'm a dedicated outliner. I do a general outline for the full book first, then go through and outline a chapter at a time. So by the time I'm writing a given scene or chapter, I already know the game plan. On the rare occasion that writer's block does happen, it's because the story wants to evolve in a direction different than I'd anticipated. So that's when I know I need to step back, and adjust the outline!
