Steel & Stone and Spell Weaver can be read in either order! Steel & Stone was published first, but chronologically, Spell Weaver takes place first.
However, I do recommend reading the Steel & Stone Companion Collection and The Blood Curse Bonus Epilogue after completing both series (for maximum tie-ins and awesomeness). :)

The Guild Codex: Spellbound is not a trilogy. Expect 6 or more books in the series. :)

Lots. ;) Expect 6 or more books in The Guild Codex: Spellbound series.

The Guild Codex isn't YA; it's somewhere between NA and adult.
The romance is very slow-burn and will build as the series goes on. Though it opens with more than one potential love interest, it isn't (and won't become) a reverse-harem romance.

(view spoiler)[In the Steel & Stone series, Piper is 17 in the beginning and turns 18 at the start of Yield the Night.
Daemon ages are a bit tricky (as is touched on in the series) because years in their worlds don't quite equal years on Earth. In S&S, Ash is around 22-23, Lyre is around 27, and Clio is around 24-25.
(Incubus don't age much after adulthood, so Lyre looks permanently in his early twenties. As well, draconians age differently than humans; they mature quickly, then aging slows down, so in S&S, Ash is often mistaken for a few years younger.) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hi!! im one of your super fan and i especially love Red winter series and now im reading the Spell Weaver but i just got confused since i read the Steel stone first but which came first? Piper or Clio's story? But i read somewhere that 10 years ago was Clio story and five years ago was Piper's so doesnt that mean that Clio came first? but how come Lyre is in Piper's story again? are they even the same person? (hide spoiler)]

Spell Weaver is a prequel series and takes place 5 years *before* Steel & Stone. Lyre is the same character as in Steel & Stone, just 5 years younger (same for Ash).
The sequel series Blackfire will take place 5 years *after* Steel & Stone. So the chronological order is Spell Weaver, then Steel & Stone, then Blackfire, and the three series together will span 10 years. :)

Dystopian North America!
Some secondary and tertiary characters will be returning in Blackfire, but not all. Who remains to be seen. ;)

The Red Winter trilogy books are available through my distributor, but unfortunately, I have no control over what Chapters/Indigo chooses to list or sell on their site. However, you can request your local store order the paperback(s) for you. :)

Chase the Dark has been revised since it's initial release in 2014. I added more chapter breaks because (whoops) some original chapters were a bit massive. All of the books have had a few minor tweaks and updates as well. If you bought ebook copies through Amazon, you can update the ebooks to the most recent versions through your account.
The most up-to-date versions will be coming out in paperback, including the updated covers, before the end of the year. :)

Yes, there will be a sequel series called Blackfire, set five years after the Steel & Stone series. More info about my upcoming series can be found at www.annettemarie.ca/coming-soon

It was going to be purple. ;)
