One more question Joely sorry to be a bother. Is it safe to assume that Xochiotl is not the third of the Triskeles Queens?
Joely Sue Burkhart Correct, Xichotl is not a Triskeles queen, but she'll play an important part as one of House Isador's siblings.

Thank you Joely! I was sorry to hear you were going through some troubled times I hope things are better for you?
Joely Sue Burkhart Still in limbo waiting for things to be final but the end is in sight!

I LOVE the Their Vampire Queen Series and was wondering if there was anything more you planned to do with it? Or maybe create a lengthy spin-off series? Your writing is so erotic and captivating. The love is so real, honest, romantic and lust filled all at the same time. You write in a way that is ethereal and deep where I can truly immerse myself and live in every scene. Irrevocably lovely, bold & creative. Art!!!
Joely Sue Burkhart Sorry, I just realized I never responded! Bad author. I'm so glad you've enjoyed Shara's books and yes, I definitely have plans for other queens in the same Their Vampire Queen world.

What happened to "Queen Takes Sunfires 2: Karmen Sunna?" Wasn't scheduled for release at the end of May? (Sorry if I sound impatient)
Joely Sue Burkhart Sorry, I'm going through a divorce and I haven't been able to finish Sunfires2 yet. I am working on it!

What happened to Queen Takes Sunfires Book 2? It is my understanding that it was supposed to be released in May but now the Amazon page for it has vanished. Has the publish date been pushed back?
Joely Sue Burkhart Sorry, I'm going through a divorce and I haven't been able to finish Sunfires2 yet. I am working on it!

Hey Joely. Are there any plans for any books about the Wu Queens in "Their Vampire Queen" series?
Joely Sue Burkhart No immediate plans for Wu queens, Nick. Working on Karmen's sunfires now.

I found some of your books on epub.pub. It seemed too good to be true that they were there legally. Are they? I'd really love to finish the series.
Joely Sue Burkhart pub.pub is an illegal pirate site unfortunately. All of the series is available in KU and I often make the first few books free for a week at a time to allow people to grab them. I just had Knights free a week or two ago.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Joely Sue Burkhart Yay, so glad you enjoyed them! There are two seats other than Karmen's. One queen we've met, but the other we haven't yet. I'm not 100% sure which table they'll each go to yet.

Joely, Thank you for the Their Vampire Queen series- I just finished everything published as of this date- Will you please continue Shara's adventures? I would dearly love to see more of her interactions with other Queens- I was very sad that Queen takes Darkness was a short story and not another book, Helayna was an intriguing character. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Joely Sue Burkhart Kellie, I do plan to continue Shara's story after I get some of the other queens brought into play.
flag
Hey Joely! Loved that we got more Shara and got to know more about Helayna. Wanted to know is Helayna the third Queen who will be beside Karmin and Shara?
Joely Sue Burkhart Honestly, I'm not 100% sure yet. She will at least be a strong ally. I'm just not sure if she'll be called to Triskeles yet. I'll know more once I get deeper into her story. She will continue to play a big part either way!

Joely Sue Burkhart Not yet - hopefully as I finish up a few side projects, the third queen will start talking to me! (I usually start "seeing" snippets in my head like a movie.)

Brilliant, am so looking forward to this...when will definite date be out?
Joely Sue Burkhart Queen Takes Triune released this past weekend!

Where can I find the kindle version of Holidays Between the Sheets so I can read Queen Takes a Late Christmas? The only version that's turning up is the hard copy on Amazon right now, but I prefer the kindle version instead.
Joely Sue Burkhart The kindle version was only available for a limited time (3 months). I am working on bundling all of the Between the Sheets short stories together with some new bonus content that will be available in a month or two. It will include the Holidays story.

Ok, great! Thanks! Do you know when will Queen Takes Triune be out?
Joely Sue Burkhart Should be this month barring any issues! I'm traveling the last half of the month and *should* finish before I go.

Do you have a link to Queen Takes Camelot? A lot of people seem to have read it already, but I can't find it and the only place I can is in the collection book that doesn't come out for weeks!
Joely Sue Burkhart Queen Takes Camelot will only be available in the Captivated boxed set: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4.... It should be out in a few weeks! The reviews you see are from my ARC team.

Who so far has been your favorite blood to write or create?
Joely Sue Burkhart It honestly depends on who I'm writing at any given moment lol. #whychoose I'd say my favorite character I've ever created period is Gregar from the Shanhasson series. Several of Shara's Blood carry some of him.

Just had to say thank you so much for releasing Queen Takes Jaguars on its own! Just bought it last night cannot wait to delve into it today!?
Joely Sue Burkhart You're welcome! There's a little bonus chapter at the end in case you're not in the FB group.

Hi, I love your vampire queen book series, I was just wondering if you have any idea of when vampire takes triune will come out, I can't wait for the book and you havent posted anything about it since september when you released the latest book in the series?
Joely Sue Burkhart Thank you - so glad you're enjoying them! I'm hoping to release Queen Takes Triune this month if Shara cooperates.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Joely Sue Burkhart Yes! I believe one of the books actually mentions her but I don't recall which one off the top of my head.

Hi Joely-I am just now finding your Their Vampire Queen series and am about 25% of the way through Queen takes King. The weirdest thing happened when I started reading them, though. Since the very beginning I have had The Rain King by the Counting Crows stuck in my head. I can't help but notice many similarities between the song's lyrics and the books. Was this intentional? Or, just a happy accident? :)
Joely Sue Burkhart Oh man, that's awesome! But I don't think I've ever heard that song. I'm going to check it out. I do write to a playlist but nothing currently by Counting Crows is on it.
