I’m so glad you are enjoying the books! I’m still working on book 5 and there will probably be 7-8 books to finish the series:-)

They haven’t been released yet. Thank you for bringing that to my attention so that I could have it fixed:-)

Books 1 and 2 are already available in audio:-) I'm currently working on finding a narrator for book three so that one might take a little longer!
Here are the links for the first couple:

The project I’m working on right now is going to be like Book 1.5 -I’m aiming for mid-November, assuming all goes to plan:-)
It’s going to be from the guys’ perspective when they meet Anna and get to know her. The story will advance, and you will learn a lot about what Anna didn’t get to see or wasn’t a part of in the first book.
Book 2 will be the next real book in the series and will contain more POVs than just Anna, I don’t have an estimated release date for that yet.
I’m not sure how many books will be in the series right now, I have plans for the next few books but I don’t want to force character development on a timeline. I work by more of ‘what feels right’, I know that’s probably not a good answer:-)

Just sit down and write. Let the words flow from you and once you feel like you have the feel of your characters, then sit down and throw them into situations to see how they react.
Have an outline of events that you want to happen in your book, but don't hold to strictly to it. Sometimes events that you had planned in the beginning just seem wrong when you try to force the character into it. Your book might end up going in a different direction that you expected but that's okay. What's important is staying true to your characters.
When you finally have a project that you feel is complete enough to publish, don't get cold feet! Your book will never be perfect, every time you go through it you are going to want to make changes.
It's nerve wracking to have yourself and your inner thoughts exposed to everyone to see, but try to focus on the hope that a few people will enjoy your work.
It's okay if not everyone likes it, or if you get a few bad reviews. I think about the books that made a huge difference in my life or opened my eyes in a new way - not everyone else felt the same way about them.
If only one person reads my work and likes it, that's okay.
Stay open to constructive criticism, don't be offended if people point out spelling errors or plot holes. They are giving you a chance to fix what is wrong, make your work better, and improve as an author!

Walk away from the project and work on something physical, like cleaning. My thoughts ruminate in the back of my mind while I'm away from the project.
When I'm ready to sit back down, I re-read what I have so far and edit. Once I'm immersed in my story again I start to see more from my character's perspective and lose myself in their thoughts. That brings up inspiration for their next move:-)

Right now I'm working on Book 1.5 of the Seaside Wolf Pack Series. It is from the POV of the male characters in Book 1 (Finding a Place to Belong) and shows their perspective as they try to solve a murder, find a mysterious female, and then finally meet Anna.
I am hoping to release before mid-november if all goes to plan:-)
