Book Six Update
I never like posting to my blog when I haven’t really got much news, but since so many of you are asking for an update, I guess it’s time to provide some sort of reassurance about book six in A Pattern of Shadow and Light.

That's very kind of you to say. I'd call myself a visual writer, but I'm a philosopher at heart, and my novels reflect both of these traits.
Best wishes to you!
Hi Melissa. Thank you for your friend request. If your novels are as poignant as the quotes from them suggest, they must be extremely readable!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I would love to hear your thoughts and especially once you've read book two. It's my personal favorite of the series so far.
Best wishes,

Hi Patremagne,
It is in progress but I don't have an exact release date yet. I'm pushing for the end of the year. The series will have five books.
Do let me know if you decide to start - I really enjoy getting feedback from readers.
Best wishes,
Melissa
