Hi! Unfortunately, PAD is only available in ebook and audiobook format. I don't know of any plans for it to be published in paperback format, but you could contact Carina Press about that. I do still have very few printed author copies I got from the publisher that I will sometimes give away. My newsletter is the best place to learn about where and when that happens.

Christi, I only just saw I got this ask! And three months late to respond to you!!! Ahhhh! I’m so sorry!
As for the prequel idea...I’ll have to dig around in my early drafts and see if I have anything like this to share in my newsletter. With current deadlines I won’t be able to do a full prequel anytime soon, but I’ll happily back burner it for when life slows down a bit! I mean, I LOVED writing Roark’s POV, so it’s be fun to return to it someday!

Not random at all! I'm never quite sure what kind of story I'll write until I hear the characters in my head. Finny and Roark happened to be the first M/M couple and their series just ... took off. I'm still not sure if I have a preference on romantic relationships (I'll basically write what the characters want me to), but I do know that it's easier to tell the story in first-person, present tense POV for me. The books I'm working on now are third, past, limited and while it's nice to stretch those brain paths again, I'm missing first person something dreadful! :)

Hi Santy! I wish we had more page time for happy moments too! I tend to release any shorts and/or deleted scenes in my quarterly newsletters first, but will eventually put them up on the the website for general access too. Currently the one available to the public is Roark and Finny's handfasting ceremony and the start of the honeymoon, and there'll be more scenes coming through THE IRON CROWN's release as well.

Hi Kim! I’m so glad you enjoyed PAD and found the extra chapter on the website! Finny and Roark have a special place in my heart too. I don’t have any plans with Carina to produce a novella featuring them, but I do have a series of extra chapters I’ll be releasing in my quarterly author newsletter (including the December newsletter) where they’ll make reappearances. In the meantime, they will be back in TMP. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sending me the question!

TMP will be available as an ARC on Netgalley. I’ll be posting info on it as soon as I know official dates!

Hi Todd! The Marked Prince is due for release this August. I’ll be doing its cover reveal soon, as well. So glad you loved PAD, and I can’t wait to share TMP! :)

In terms of literary classics, Jane and Rochester. I love that Jane was strong enough to stand on her own and that when she returned to Rochester, it was on her terms. For modern lit, either Simon and Baz from Carry On (because oh, my God, the tension!!!) or Mac and Barrons from the Fever Series (because how could you NOT be rooting for them the entire time?).

With Honour Bound newly released, I'm turning my attention to a few other projects. I'm finishing up an indie project titled "In the Shadows" for The Club series. I'm starting to draft "Wolf Moon," Owen Sinclair's story and I'm also working on "Divining the Bones," which is Honour Bound's sequel, focusing on Officer Tane Wati.
