Our work in progress is threefold. Book II, The Emerald Tablet is set for release June 4, 2019 so soon we will have signed off on all of the final edits and have begun recording for the audiobook. We will be doing all of the narration and character voices for the second book as we have for The Emissary. It turned out amazingly well, thanks in no small part to Rene’s excellent training as an actor. At the same time, we are well underway writing Book III in the Series. Book III picks up where The Emissary and The Emerald Tablet end, but takes the series in a very unexpected and exciting direction, still in keeping with the original characters but exploring new possibilities.

Read and write as much as you can and if there is an author, or a single line that you think is really well written and resonates with you, dissect it and figure out why. Every writer is influenced by others, but find your own voice by taking the best of what you learn from others. In writing The Emissary, and our entire series, we have been influenced by classic writers like Dickens and Austen and modern writers like Rowling and King.

Our favourite thing about being writers is the constant creativity. Even beyond the actual planning, researching and writing of the novels, the creativity continues. We try to give our readers a very personal and entertaining look inside our writing, so with our video blog, social media posts, meme’s audiobook narration, guest blogs and working on storyboards for the book trailers, we have no shortage of opportunities to create!
