9 years ago I found one of your books in my local library. Bitten, was amazing and the whole series made me love reading again...and I have finally started writing again all because I fell in love with the worlds you were creating. It gave me the spark to try again. I am a huge fan of yours and my question that I am sure has been asked but will you books ever come to Kindle Unlimited?

Kelley Armstrong So glad you enjoyed the Otherworld series! For a book to be in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon requires ebook exclusivity. That means the ebook can ONLY be sold via Amazon. I'd never do that to my readers who prefer to use Kobo, iBooks, Google Play or any other ebook reader or vendor. If Amazon ever changed their policy, I'm sure my publishers would consider putting my books in KU, but I don't see Amazon doing that anytime soon.

FYI Libby's audiobook preview for The Poisoner's Ring (contained at the end of book 1 ) has the wrong book. It played me some sort of western. Looked at book preview online and it's sure as heck not starting as a western. Is there a better way to reach you?

Kelley Armstrong Yikes! Let me let the publisher know about that. Thanks for telling me! Best way to contact me for a properly speedy response is mail@kelleyarmstrong.com. My assistant Alison monitors that, and she's much more on top of things than I am :)

Hello.I love your books and was wondering if your book Instinct be on for sale on Barnes and Noble please?Thank you very much.

Kelley Armstrong I don't have a book with that title. Maybe it's someone else's?

Hello Ms. Armstrong, I catalog books for the Bay County Public Library in Panama City, FL. For our MARC records we always need a state to go along with the publisher. Can you give me a state for K.L.A. Fricke Inc.? Thank you for any help you can give me. Gail Adkins Head of Tech Services www.nwrls.com 8505222124

Kelley Armstrong This is Alison, Kelley’s assistant. That would be Ontario, Canada :)

Will there be a third book to Otherworld: Kate and Logan or books following the supernatural children characters of your previously completed Otherworld Series? As i am just wondering what happened to the Kids and everyone after they had left the Supernatural leadership conference?

Kelley Armstrong I don't have a third book on my schedule right now (which is overpacked!) but that doesn't mean I'd never write one. I just need more hours in a day ;)

Hey Kelley, I'm a massive fan and have read all your books, love the otherworld and rockton and I'm reading your free online one which I really like. Any books by other authors you would recommend? Similar to otherworld, YA is also welcome. I'm looking for authors with similar world building and writing style and realistic characters. Tired of either too perfect, too arrogant or too tortured if you know what I mean.

Kelley Armstrong Here are a few possibilities, if you haven't already read them: Mercy series by Patricia Briggs, Written in Red by Anne Bishop, Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris.

Is KlA Fricke Inc. your personal publishing company?

Kelley Armstrong Kind of? I'm incorporated and that's my corporation name, so when I release some stuff "indie," it's used as the publishing company because it holds the copyright to all my work. So if you see that as the publisher, it's legit :) It just means that's one of the projects I've done on my own--I do some that way and some with traditional publishers, as I weigh options and experiment.

Now that Derek and Chloe have made an appearance in Wolf's Curse, is there a plan to continue to integrate the otherworld and darkest powers characters? Is there a plan to tell the stories of the other otherworld kids like Nita?

Kelley Armstrong That was mostly done for those who've always wanted to see these worlds overlap. No plans right now for more, but that could always change :)

Hi Kelley, I remember reading that you had written a book under another penname but can't seem to find it on your website. Would it be possible that you supply me with that information. I'm looking for my next bookclub pick of the month. Hope everyone is well and healthy. Thanks Wendy?

Kelley Armstrong There are two. You're probably looking for K.L. Armstrong, which is used for The Blackwell Pages and (more for your bookclub) a standalone thriller Wherever She Goes.
The other is Katey Wolfe, which is a total one-off--I'd written a new adult story as part of a group collaboration and when I re-released it with my name attached, I kept Katey Wolfe on it because it's, um, way more "adult" than my usual work ;)

I love your books. I listen to most of your work through Audible because I have eye problems. Is there any new audiobooks coming out soon?

Kelley Armstrong Everything new should be in audio (it's the older stuff that's spotty) Wolf's Curse came out in audio earlier this month. Then I have a middle grade (The Gryphon's Lair) and adult standalone thriller (Every Step She Takes) coming in June, both with audio.

Hello Kelley, greetings from Austria. I love the Otherworld books, they are so great. My favorite couple is Hope and Karl, but the others are great too. I wanted to ask if there would be any more books from the two? Thanks for all the great stories.

Kelley Armstrong They did get a novella (Life After Theft) in Otherworld Secrets (http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/book/o...) but that was it.

Hi, I have a question about Driven. So, on your website, it says that there are supposed to be four illustrations inside of the book, except for the eBook version. I got the iBook version on my iPhone, and there are blank pages, but no pictures. Is it supposed to be like that? I kinda wanted to see the illustrations.

Kelley Armstrong Yep, the illustrations are just in the print version. That makes those blank pages even more annoying. I'm sure. I'll have to see if they can eliminate those (or maybe even include the art!) in future books.

Is there going to be a 5th book in series ? I love the books they are awesome!! I hope in the future for a TV show as well! lol

Kelley Armstrong Definitely a fifth book coming! As for a TV show, the rights sold to the company that did Orphan Black, which doesn't mean we'll ever see a show, but it's the first step!
