Hi Coral
firstly, sorry for the delay in answering.
At this time, there are no plans for further books. I'm currently taking a break from writing - life got in the way! - but I never say never. One never knows what's around the corner or when inspiration may hit!
I do hope you enjoyed the H&S books, though. They are dear to my heart as they were the first books I wrote, back in the days when ebook authors 'weren't real writers' and ebooks were new to the world. Ah, fun times fondly remembered!
cheers

Hi Gayle
sorry, I didn't know this question had been posted! I have thought about having audio, it's just something I haven't had time to thoroughly look into yet.
With your vision isues, are you unable to read a kindle? I know you can have the print brought up really big.
Audio is definitely something I will put on my 'To Look Into ASAP" list.

My kindle died. Amazon lost my archived ebooks.

Wow...this is hard. Um...Stephanie Plum world, I'd get a job working for Vinnie's and be Stephanie's side-kick (along with Lula). We'd be the Incredible Trio. I'd get to meet Ranger and Morelli, try out Mrs Plum's cakes, go on some crazy adventures with Grandma Mazur, and basically have a fun & wild time!

Hi Samantha
so glad you enjoyed Secrets. It's always exciting for me to start a new series, and when I know people have enjoyed reading it, well, if I can leave them smiling & feeling good I reckon that's a win!
The good news is that yes, there will definitely be more books set in Hope Bay.
Bad news is that I can't give a new release date yet!
I'm currently re-writing/re-editing the 2nd book in my old sci-fi romance series and am halfway through that, and I'm doing it as fast as I can!
But I'm already planning the next Hope Bay novel for release this year. I'm sticking my neck out here and saying maybe around the middle of the year or just after - but I can't promise. The only thing I can promise is - this year!

So glad you're enjoying Echoes, Ryan's story certainly got a lot of different reviews and mixed reactions .
Oh, you're not the only one who would like to see a Raymond and Marietta story LOL. I have another friend who has been wanting one, too.
Unfortunately, at this time neither character is really 'speaking' to me, in other words, no ideas or anything for them at this time. Maybe one day I'll do a special holiday novella or something for them...something to think about for an 'inbetween - the - books' story!

Ooohh - there're a few! My automatic buys will be White Hot (Ilona Andrews), West Side Gory (Elise Sax), Dangerous Minds (Janet Evanovich), Death of a Bachelorette (Laura Levine), Two Nights (Kathy Reichs), Wild Fire (Ilona Andrews) and Secrets in Death (JD Robb). In-between buying these as they get released, I'll be reading whatever takes my fancy on my massive TBR paperback and kindle pile!

Hmmm...I'm not very complex. *squinting in thought*. Uhhh...how I manage to get so much caffeine into me, watch a horror movie, go to bed and read a horror book, and still sleep with no worries???
Angela Verdenius
Only one couple? Seriously? Uhhh.... No, I'm going to cheat and name several!
Roarke & Eve from the In Death series (J.D.Robb)
Savannah & Gregori (Dark Magic by Christine Feehan)
Tempest & Darius (Dark Fire by Christine Feehan)
Bride & Vane (Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon)
Rhys & Charlie (Charlie Davidson series by Darynda Jones)
They are among my favourites (I have so many!) because they are devoted to each other, acknowledge their flaws, can be funny, hot, sexy and intriguing. They are couples who will go the distance.

Hi Yalda
thank you so much! I'm glad you're still enjoying the books!
I'm currently working on Aaron's story (bk 2 of The Wells Brothers). He's being a very hard write, but I'm working on him LOL. I'm hoping to have his story out in Dec, maybe towards the end if all goes well. Between having floors done, going away and coming back, the day job being really busy, and life throwing a few hiccups my way, I've been slower working on Aaron's story. But this afternoon I have off work and I'm getting ready to burn the keyboard up for the next six hours! So look out, Aaron, I'm coming for you LOL.

Hi Jayitha
Yes, Jason's story is in 'Promises' (already released). I had to do his story, he kept appearing in my subconscious, I found him really intriguing!

Hi Helen
So glad you're enjoying Jason's story. I won't lie, I had a hard time getting his book started, I didn't want to disappoint anyone. But I knew I had to write him from the heart, so knowing his story has been so liked is wonderful news indeed.
Definitely a series for Jason's cousins! That's the Wells Brothers trilogy. I've just started Luke's story!

Oooh - first of all, thank you! You made my day!!! So glad you've enjoyed the stories so far. If I can make people smile and feel good about themselves, and like meeting my characters, then I'm happy!
A little scary is being told by some workmates that they've read my books and can see me in them...oohhher....
Some of my favourite authors - well, I'm not sure they write as I do (I'd be incredibly proud if I wrote as well as some of my fav authors!), but I do like Elisa Sax's Matchmaker series, the High Heels series by Gemma Halliday, the Chrissy McMullen series by Lois Greiman. I just love the humour of the characters. I guess humour is a big thing for me when it comes to romances and mysteries. Shelley Laurenston's shifter series are another automatic buy for me.
I also love Stuart MacBride, but no way am I in his league. His Logan MacRae series (police crime) is gritty and harsh, but the humour is there as well as the character growth. Poor old Logan! Also, J D Robb's In Death series is another series I really enjoy.
But my top, most favourite author is Janet Evanovich. I love the Stephanie Plum books, they literally make me laugh out loud. There have been times I've had to smother my guffaws with my hand because my mother is asleep in the next room! Usually I get the disgruntled looks from the cat sharing my bed...

Christie, I don't mind at all! I often wonder what happened to all the authors I used to know from Wings. I've veered into writing contemporary romance featuring BBWs, something a little different to the sci-fi romance. Had to give myself a new direction to breath new life into my writing :-) Have to say I'm enjoying it!
Hmmm...I'll have to check out your books! I had no idea you wrote about dragons, now I'm really curious.
Oh - hope your husband strikes it lucky with the tickets!!!

Oh wow, hi! Long time no see! So good to hear from you. Yep, I'm still plugging away, still got the cats and Diet Coke LOL. Heading for the US? I wish - unfortunately, no. Maybe if I ever win the lotto *wistful sigh*...maybe I need to start playing it more than 4 times a year!

Hi Ioanna
There are 6 Gully's Fall books out! It was supposed to be a four book series but grew to a six book series (don't know how that happened!).
Happy New Year to you, too!!!

Hi Erika
I understand about the age issue, no worries.
All the rest of the heroines are 18 and up - they kind of aged as I did, and as the series progressed! Heart of an Outlaw (bk 1) was my very first book, so the series kind of changes as it goes on. Kind of went from a little sweeter to a little grittier, if I can say that!
Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Um...did you know the first 4 books are out for $3.99 as a box set at Amazon, All Romance e Books, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iBooks? It's way cheaper to buy that way, and you can skip the first book and go right into the next three for the same price you'd pay for one book only.

Hi Valerie
I don't mind being stalked in regards to books - I do it to my fav authors all the time, always lurking on their websites to check how the books are coming along!
Estimated date for Jason's story...whoo...okay, let's see. I usually try to write a book in 3 months...then give myself a month to edit and re-edit...so at a rough guess, the end of April beginning of May - but I can't promise! It depends what life throws at me as I go! If I get it done earlier, it gets released earlier.
A Coming Soon section on the website is a great idea, but it would only feature one book - the one I'm currently working on :-) It would be a really lonely spot! On the home page I usually put if I'm at the plotting stage or writing stage - maybe I should update that to how far into the story I am! Would that help?!

Hi Jodeen. I'm working on Jason's story now. At this stage his story is a stand alone book, but I do have plans for another series - how long it will be (two book, three book, more) I don't know as yet. Poor old Jason is taking my time at the moment, but I admit, I have started jotting down notes for more books already!

Hi Mikaela
Not a new series yet, though I have a vague idea I'm working on!
Right now, I'm writing the last book in the Gully's Fall series - this is Grant's story. Yeah, I know, GF was only supposed to be a 4 book series but it somehow blew out to 6 books!!
Next on the agenda after Grant's story, is Jason's, which will be a stand alone and not set in Gully's Fall.
I hope to have Grant's story out in Dec sometime (writing my little bum off right now) and Jason's story sometime early 2016. That's the plan right now.
Then...I will look at the new series idea I'm playing with. (I do like playing with alpha males and strong men and - oops, did I say that out loud??)
