This is not so much a question as a comment.. Do you realize how special it makes a (this) girl feel to get a REAL (not a computer generated thanks for writing) response from an author?.. I feel all special and happy and like the cool kids like me now. Thanks for emailing me back and "inviting me to the popular table"

Hi Kristen, I just read The Vampire's Mail Order Bride (the first book of your's I have read) it was fantastic and I can't wait for the next one! I am now wondering if you intend to continue the Nocturne Falls series after book 2 and will we see Hugh's brothers get their own story and if Bridget and Jenna will get a story of their own to?
Kristen Painter Hi Beth! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. Yes, I definitely plan to continue the series - book 3, The Gargoyle Gets His Girl, will be out August 1st,…moreHi Beth! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. Yes, I definitely plan to continue the series - book 3, The Gargoyle Gets His Girl, will be out August 1st, and I'm currently working on book 4. Sebastian and Julian will definitely get their own books! There's a definite possibility for Bridget and Jenna too.

You just never know! ;o) But I do love writing in this world and am happy to keep the books going as long as readers are interested.

Have a great day!(less)
