Hi! I actually have another book plotted in that series, but time has gotten away from me (hello, life) and it seemed well-wrapped at three. But I'm also very susceptible to encouragement, so...if you're really interested in another, that's good for me to know! Thank you for reading :)
Cari Z.
Thank you for the reminder!!!

Hi Elin!
Wow, good question. I've actually got a sequel plotted and ready to go, I just lost the momentum for it back in the day when the original press I published it through folded. But knowing someone wants to read more is definitely motivational!

Hi Andrea!
It should be there now! I hope you enjoy it, and if you have any trouble accessing it, please let me know and I'll figure it out for you!

Hi Kelly!
I know we already connected on an answer for this one, but I've got a general statement about my free stuff too: basically, if it starts free, it usually stays free. There are exceptions for stuff I post on my blog from time to time, but Reclamation is free and will stay so, as an incentive to readers to check me out. I've got hundreds of thousands of free words out there for people who like a deal, so...read 'em, people! Then tell me you love them and make me all excited to write a sequel!

Hi Kristina!
Friendly Fire in written format reverted back to me last year when everything went down with Riptide, and I haven't re-released it yet because I don't own rights to the cover, which is unfortunate. I do plan to re-release it, but if you'd like it now you can email me and we can do a deal for it directly!
My email is carizabeth@hotmail.com.

Hi Liz!
The ending of Double or Nothing is barely a HFN, so--yes, we're writing a sequel! In fact, we should be done with the rough draft really soon. And because Lori moves at the speed of light, the final draft will very soon follow. Keep on the lookout for Doubling Down!

Hi Nicki!
I didn't see this for months, I don't even know why! Sorry for the delay.
I'm so glad you liked those ones, the Behavior books have an admittedly-brilliant narrator while the actor who read for Off The Beaten Path was almost completely new! I think he worked out great, though. Since then, my novel Handle With Care has had audio come out. I'm polishing up a sequel to OtBP, so hopefully I'll publish that this year and get audio for it as well, with the same performer.
Thanks for listening, and fingers crossed!

Hi Allisha!
Both of these stories are in one volume, titled Changing Worlds, available from Dreamspinner Press. And the gents switch :)

Hi Rosiina!
I'm so glad you loved it! When I started getting this question, at first I was like, "Really? People want more?" Then I got into it, and the short answer is: yes, if my proposal for a sequel gets accepted by Dreamspinner, there will be one.
How likely is that? I don't know. I submitted the proposal last month, so hopefully I'll hear back soon. I'd love to write about Davis and Tennyson. I've even got an idea for a third book, so...keep your fingers crossed!

Hi Andrea!
Oh my gosh, Treasured! I love this series, but it went out of print (e-, whatever) a few years ago. I'm planning a re-release in 2018, but! If you really want a copy now, email me at carizabeth@hotmail.com and we can work something out.
Thanks for asking!

Oh my goodness, I haven't thought about this story in a while! I'm so glad you loved it. I really enjoyed writing it, but it's hard to motivate myself to write a sequel to a free story. It helps to know you enjoyed it, though! Maybe a vignette... :)
Cari Z.
Oh B, I hope and pray that it will. It depends largely on sales. I would looooove for it to be an audiobook, though. If it happens, I'll shout it all over the place.

Hi B!
I got so lucky with Nick, he's such an amazing narrator. I'm so glad you enjoyed the books! As for Cambion, the rights have reverted to me and I haven't put it back up for availability yet, but if you really want a copy I'd be happy to sell you one directly. Message me here on Goodreads and we can work it out :)

I'm so glad you loved it! The more love the better, because the audio for the third book only happens when I get enough sales (that's the publisher's rule, and I get it) and the fourth book only gets written if there's enough demand for it, and...you know how it goes. But I'd love to write a fourth book, and I'm plotting things regardless ;)

So sorry it took me so long to get to this question! *hangs head*
Ideally, I would do Kiaran's story next. That was the original plan, but seeing as how things went weird with Samhain and I don't feel like I've got the best publishing relationship with them any more, I'm putting off doing more work in this world until I can get my rights back. I'm sorry! But I'm so glad you enjoyed Tempest, I think it's one of my best novels to date.

Hi Nico! As of now, the only one available in paperback is the third book, Where There's A Will. You can get it on Riptide's website, Amazon, Kobo, etc. The first two weren't long enough to merit a print version, but I'm hoping I can combine them into one volume and get them like that.
Thanks for asking!

Hi Gyvareva,
Good question. I got rights back to this story a few months ago, and currently it's being considered by Dreamspinner for republication. If they take it, then it should be resurrected in short order. If they don't take it, I'll republish it myself this summer. I'll post about it either way. Thanks for asking, I hope you enjoy it when you eventually get it!

Well firstly, good choice moving to Colorado, Susan \o/
As for book discussions, hmm...Marie and I are both part of the Out In Colorado writer's group, which does a number of events every year, including Denver's Pride. Last year she and some other authors did a public reading (I was away for that). We take plenty of questions in both places, so the answer is, it's very possible!
Finally, gosh. Thanks for saying I'm a favorite, you've made my day :)

Yay, OJ, share the love! And I'd be thrilled to make Panopolis into an expanded universe sort of series, but that depends a little on the strength of reaction to the next book and whether I've left enough breadcrumbs to follow it with another one.
