Hi, Eleni. I’m sorry to say that the solus series is currently out of print. The ebooks are not available anywhere right now. I do have a few remains paperbacks available on my website. Shipping to Greece would be expensive but if you’d like me to calculate it for you I’d be happy too. Go to devriwalls.com for books and then there is a contact button there as well to send me an email if you’d like me to get online and check prices for shipping.

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this! The Solus series is out of print at the moment. I do still have a few paperbacks for sale left on my website. I’m not sure when this will be republished. Devriwalls.com

Oh man! I love them both! I find Alcander a little more "intriguing" because he holds so much inside where Emane wears his heart on his sleeve. But they are both so special in their own way.
The siblings decision was made because I've always found the fact that two people can come from the same person, be raised in the same household with the same values and turn out so drastically different. I found it the perfect juxtaposition.
I included Dragons and Shifters because I love what they bring, drama, whimsy and flexibility. The things I was able to do because of those characters was not only a lot of fun to write but was also able to add a lot of tension to many scenes.

Oh man! Complicated question actually. So, Wings of Arian was the first book I ever wrote and as such things developed as they went much more than when I write now. But the actual concept for the theme of the story came when I watching T.V one night. It was a darker show and someones throat was slit. I was suddenly startled that I'd had no reaction to it--I was so desensitized. And i thought, my grandmother, or someone who'd lived a hundred years ago, would've been horrified! As I thought about how much it would've pained them versus how little effect it had on me the land of Meros and the theme of Kiora's pain was born. After that I had to move into the idea that good and evil is not black and white and thus began her subsequent journey. As far as certain aspects, I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I love to work in the fantasy genre. It always appeals to me when I read because it's a total escape! It's the same when I write it. Does this kinda answer your questions? You can ask for clarification if I was totally off the mark.

Oh goodness, apparently I need to visit goodreads more often! Sorry! I don't have a release date yet but I am working on several things at the moment that I am really excited about. I do keep updates pretty regularly on my blog, writingmyfuture.com if you want to come visit me. ;)

Hey Meena, I do! I am working on another YA fantasy series. It will be a much different world than the Solus Series and I am super excited about it!

Oh goodness, no. Wings of Lomay was the final book in the series. If I do add any more someday it will be a prequel to cover the time where Kiora is chosen as the Solus, before she meets Emane. I can't say though when or if that would happen. I am so glad you love these characters as much as I do! Hopefully you will love the next series as well. It has magic and dragons and all sorts of awesome. Well, I think so anyway. I could be bias... maybe.

Freedom, complete creative freedom.

First of all, finish that manuscript! I book is not truly written until you edit it, and you can't edit what you don't have! The other thing to remember is that writing is a highly personal process, learn, grow, listen to advice, but at the end of the day you have to do what works for you.
