Liz Coley answered Sofia Beach's question: Hi Liz Coley, your work is amazing. Especially on the book series that I am obsessed with Tor Maddox, I just finished reading. I was wondering even though it has been over 10 years since the last book was published if you had any thought of making another book in the series? P.S.
