Hi Elena,
Thanks for your question! Yes, I've already finished first-round edits on the sequel to Arctic Absolution (currently titled Arctic Restitution), and the cover art is already in the works as well, so my hope is that the book will be out soon. I'm so glad you're loving the guys! Thank you so much for reading!
Love & hugs,
Lynn

Hi Tully,
Thanks for your question! They can actually be read in either order. Arctic Absolution was written first, but Caged Jaye comes first in the timeline. There are no spoilers in either of the books for the other. They're fairly self-contained. I've heard from readers that if might depend on if you want to read the darker, more hardcore of the two (Caged Jaye) first or last. If you read it first, you have the lighter story (Arctic Absolution) to look forward to after. The 3rd novel in the series (working title: Arctic Restitution) is with my publisher now and should be released before too long! It features characters and settings from both previous novels.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Shiri,
Thank you so much for reading! I'm so glad you're enjoying Bare. I actually have just started to write a novel about Oliver and his subs—specifically how they all come together (so it would be a prequel novel to Bare). Hopefully my muse will cooperate and I'll have that to you before too long :)

Hi Trista! Yay, I'm so happy to hear the book found its way to you! I do intend to write more of Luka and Alek's backstory, whether it's as a prequel or as part of a 4th novel. I'm leaning towards the second option because it would also help me continue to resolve some of the guys' issues and get them all to an even happier place (which is always my goal!) I have begun work on a 4th book that focuses more on that set of twins, so we'll see how it goes :) My muse has been a little scatterbrained lately, but I'd love to be able to finish that book. Thank you so much for reading and wishing you the absolute best too! <3

Hi Christine,
Thanks so much for asking! I'm thrilled to hear you're loving the series. I don't have release date info to share yet. There are several series of mine where I'm either planning or writing the next installment, so I'm definitely in catch-up mode right now with that. I do have Deliver Us 4 planned out fairly thoroughly, it'll just be a heck of a task because it'll bring together Trace, Gabe, Dare & the rest of the guys with the world of David Davenport from The Manse series (soooo many characters!) I'll keep working as fast as I can. Thank you for reading! <3

Ooh, interesting question! I do think I would consider it. It actually hadn't occurred to me as a possibility, but I do think it might be fascinating to see young David humbled, tamed and remade as a Dominant by the Master's Circle. Thank you for the plot bunny! ;)

Hi and thank you for the question :) I'm so happy you enjoyed the series! I am very excited to share Only the Lonely, which really gives Evan a chance to show a really important part of his life before Brennan and the twins took it over. I actually have no plans at the moment to explore Drew much further, though I'm thrilled to be asked! My personal opinion on Drew has been that he's one of the more disturbing antagonists I've written, so it can be a challenge to get into his headspace, though he's been a great foil for Evan.

Hi Melanie! I appreciate the question! I actually hadn't thought about this much, so it was fun to conclusively decide on the answer, but I can tell you now that Evan is older. He's got the innate, serious sense of responsibility for himself and Brennan, feeling like he's got to carry them both when it gets rough and that it's all somehow his fault when things go wrong. Brennan has more of the lighthearted spunky attitude of a (slightly, lol) younger brother. Thanks for asking and for reading!! <3

Hi Diane! I'm happy to see my little blog teaser grabbed your attention ;) Right now there's a release date of April 5, 2016 for Only the Lonely. I'll try to get my blog post together for later today with the cover art and all the info. Thanks!!

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for the question! I understand the confusion.
Learning from the Master takes place 5 years before Bound by Lies (and tells the story of how Jenner from Bound by Lies meets David & Shea). Loving the Master takes place 10 years before Bound by Lies & 5 years before Learning from the Master.
They were written in reverse order (and the prequels weren't planned), so after Bound by Lies (written 1st, #3 in the series in chronological order) I wrote Learning from the Master (written 2nd, #2 in the series in chronological order). Loving the Master (written 3rd & #1 in the series in chronological order) is meant to be enjoyable whether you've read the other 2 stories in the series or not. You can actually read them in whatever order appeals to you the most :)

Hi Arlyn,
I truly appreciate the gorgeous review you posted for Arctic Absolution and thank you for taking the chance and reading something that challenged your usual preferences. There is a prequel to this book (tentatively) being released April 12. The cover reveal will be February 18. It's titled Caged Jaye and will cover the portion of Jaye's teenage years that formed him into the person he is in Arctic Absolution. Honestly, I'm more proud of Caged Jaye than any story I've written so far, but like its predecessor it won't be for the faint of heart! And if all goes well, I do also plan to write a sequel to Arctic that brings more of Jaye's past into his present in order to provide him further healing. Thank you for your question! :)

Hi Diane, thank you for reading and for your question! Yes, Twin Ties #4 is planned and I have a couple of chapters written so far. It will have more of a focus on Alek and Luka. I really appreciate your interest in it! It's a great motivator to keep writing ;)

Hi Leslie,
I'm planning on it! Right now I'm wrapping up a few works in progress, but my next projects are writing Twin Ties 4 & the sequel to Arctic Absolution. I have already started TT4 and know it will provide more insight into Alek & Luka, as well as continue the general storyline for all 4 guys.
Thank you for reading!! :)

Hi Kayl! Wow, you've just completely made my day. Thank you so much! There will indeed be more from Dixon and Jaye. A prequel about Jaye's life before he met Dixon has been written and is with my editor. It's titled Caged Jaye and will be released sometime this year. I'm also currently writing a sequel to Arctic Absolution about the continuation of the guys' life together and the ways Jaye's past keeps creeping into it. Thank you for reading! <3

Hi Tracy,
Yes! I'm actually hoping to announce the release date of Double Heat (Twin Ties 3) very soon. It's almost done being edited and will likely be my next novel release. Thanks for reading! <3
