Kel Carpenter
Well thank you! :D

Black Swan is currently available on audiobook. It was a bit delayed due to lower interest but the series is now complete. :)

(view spoiler)[The Dark Maji books were a breath of fresh air to be honest. As an avid reader I haven't been able to find something original and different for some time now. So, I was really pleasantly surprised when i came across this series. I hope you would consider writing a novella or a sixth book about Axe and Vaughn, I haven't seen chemistry with such a potential for some years now.
Are considering it at all ? Thanks :) (hide spoiler)]

Not currently, but never say never!
Kel Carpenter
Yes, actually. The first book should be available within the next month or two.
Kel Carpenter
I'm not sure. A lot of books have magic systems where you're born with it or you're not. So I'd want to go somewhere I could earn magic and that my destiny would be what I make of it. Not somewhere where I'd still be a sorta lame human. LOL.
Kel Carpenter
No, the Grimm Brotherhood series is completed with no new additions planned. Thanks for asking!

(view spoiler)[Will there be a continuation of Dark Maji with Kairick's story or even one with Axe of Vaughn? I loved these stories and I hope to read more! (hide spoiler)]
Kel Carpenter
Currently there's no plans for continuations in that universe in any official capacity. I think I'll likely come back and write some short stories just for fun that explore Kairick, Trissa, and a little bit of Axe and Vaughn, later on down the road. Maybe some novella's. Never know there! I appreciate the interest and I'll definitely share online if/when I do!
Kel Carpenter
I'm planning for her to, yes. As well as a few other characters. I'll have more news on that once I have a book to talk about. Thanks for your interest in the series!

Hi there! I’m currently writing the fourth Daizlei book and *hoping* to release it in the first half of 2019. Thanks for your interest. :)
Kel Carpenter
Thank you! :) Daizlei has one more book that's still in the drafting phase. Overall it will be four books and one novella.
Kel Carpenter
Queen of Lies will be releasing in 2018. I hope to have an exact date for you by January, but for now that is all I can say.
Kel Carpenter
I don't currently have a date set for the third book and it's too soon for me to tell. Thank you!
Kel Carpenter
Thank you! I will say that right now I *believe* that this series will be four main books, outside of the novella I currently have published and any others I may publish.

I started my first book at fourteen and finished it by fifteen, totaling over 100K words. It was what is now known as Heir of Shadows, after much, much editing and rewriting.
Kel Carpenter
I am finishing up edits for Scion of Midnight and starting on the third book in the Daizlei Academy series.

Hmmm, if I'm being honest it was a compilation of ideas and everything I have ever read or dreamt. I didn't pull inspiration from any one thing for this series, if anything the characters came to me. I always day dreamed a lot as a kid, and Selena's story was definitely one of the more prominent ones I had where I would map out scenes or think up crafty villains. Fun fact, Selena's name was originally Guinevere because I was obsessed with this name until about 14, it's very old fashioned and does not fit her though so I changed it when I started writing.
Kel Carpenter
This is a hard one--but I have to say the couple I think I fell in love with the most when I read about it, is Juliette and Warner from Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. They are just everything to me, even to this day. Gahh, I love it!
