Yes! In fact, I'm doing a few final edits on it now, and then it's off to production.

Hi Skylar! Monster and Apprentice is set in a world where people's darkest secrets turn into living, terrifying monsters called Cryptics. It follows Rolan, a street kid who is taken on as an apprentice by the Arcanist, a feared warrior who slays Cryptics in order to protect the city--and who may or may not wield the same strange, terrible magic as the monsters he hunts. It's like The Witcher meets Demon Slayer meets Ranger's Apprentice. Lots of action, heart, humor, and of course monster hunting! I hope you'll check it out! :)

Ah, no such plans at the moment, but that would really cool! Fingers crossed!

I unfortunately do not know! My publisher has told me they do not have a date for that yet.

Currently, there are no plans for more Skyborn books. However, I have a new series coming out next year called Monster and Apprentice that is a similar kind of story, and if you liked Skyborn I think you may like this one as well!

While the book has a title, I cannot share it yet. It does not have a release date yet, but I will share that as soon as I can on my Instagram and newsletter.

I do not have a date yet. I am still writing it!

Hi Skylar! The inspiration for Skyborn comes from my Scottish and Levantine heritage. On both sides of my family, my ancestors experienced colonization and displacement, which inspired the overall plot of the Skyborn and their quest to return home. The bird clans were inspired my fascination with flying. If I could have one superpower, it would be the power to fly!

The story will definitely be finished! But I cannot say when it will release, as the production process involves many other people than myself, such as the narrator, composer, orchestra, sound producers, and Audible. When I can share a definitive timeline, I will do so on social media and my newsletter.
Jessica Khoury
At some point, yes! At the moment I am very busy working on Book 4, but I will release a hardcover later this year.
Jessica Khoury
I get this question a lot! I have asked Audible for the sheet music but I think there may be some copyright issues that prevent them from sharing it.
Jessica Khoury
It has a Kindle version at the moment. I have no plans for other e-formats at this time.

Hi! While I cannot tell you the date yet (I do not know it myself!), I can promise you will see more Eric AND get an answer to your Jai/Amelia question!
Jessica Khoury
The motto wasn't inspired by anything in particular--just the world of Mystwick itself!
Jessica Khoury
Sometime in 2025!

My daughter and I love this series! Thank you for writing it and can’t wait for the next book! She’s read each book at least 4 times.
