Ask Carrie Ann: FAQs
Happy Saturday! I’ve been answering a few FAQs on FB recently so I thought I’d post them here as well. If you have any more, put them in the comments!
Q: When will your books be in audio?
A: Ink Inspired and Ink Reunited are in audio format now. If sales keep as they are or increase (yay sales!), then all of my books will eventually be in audio. An Alpha’s Path, A Taste for a Mate, Trinity Bound, and A Night Away (all part of the Redwood Pack) are in development now. So if you want more audio books, then keep listening to the ones out there.
Q: Will there be more Redwood Pack books?
A: The short answer is YES. The long answer? The original Jamenson story arc is over. I had planned on seven books for them with extra novellas to visit them again. I also planned to leave the world open in case I wanted to write more in it and not get bored. That said, YES there are more Redwoods coming.
How you ask? Well first off, Dark Fates, coming August 12th, will have a Redwood Pack novella about Emeline and Noah. Also, as part of the 1001 Dark Nights (yay!) I’m writing about a Redwood Pack member who you’ve seen before and a Talon Pack member. This will be part of not only the Redwood Pack series, but the Talon Pack series as well. And I might write more about other members of the Pack as well. It just depends on what the READERS want and what I have in my mind.
Speaking of the Talon Pack: The Talon Pack is part of the Redwood Pack world and series. I’m writing it so you can start in book 1 of the Talon Pack if you are new to the world, or start at the Redwood Pack book 1 so you can get the whole backstory. There will be familiar faces in the Talon Pack as well as new faces and stories. I’m really excited about this series and I do hope readers EMBRACE it has hard as they did the Redwood Pack. This starts in 2015 and I CANNOT WAIT for you all to see what I have in store.
What does this mean Reading Order Wise? Wherever I put reading order, you will now see TALON PACK READING ORDER and REDWOOD PACK WORLD READING ORDER. You can read in any order you want as each book is about a different couple, but now the OCD people can make lists.
I hope that’s clear! If you have any other questions, let me know and I will answer them.
Q:Faith, and the other ‘special ladies’ from Dante’s circle … Do we have dates for their books
A: The Dante’s Circle series IS continuing. Faith’s book, Fierce Enchantment, will be out in early 2015. Amara’s and Eliana’s books will coming out after that as well. I’m not planning on putting out firm release dates until I have the book written however.
Q: When do more Montgomery Ink books come out?
A: Delicate Ink will be out Oct 14th. It’s Austin (Shep’s cousin from Ink Inspired) and Sierra’s story. Delicate Ink is the first full length book in the series at about 80k (maybe more). It starts the series in full and is set inDenver. Austin is the oldest Montgomery and has seven siblings that will round out the series.
Book 2, Tempting Boundaries, is about Austin’s younger sister, Miranda and Austin’s friend Decker. That will hopefully be out in late 2014 as well. It depends on my timing and my move if I can get it done on time.
As a treat, I’m in the middle of writing Book 1.5, Forever Ink. It’s a novella about people in the Montgomery Ink world who you will meet in Delicate Ink. The novella, Forever Ink, will be in the HOT INK antho coming in November.
So yes, much, much more Ink coming. I’m super excited about this so I hope you guys are ready for them!
As an aside, Shep and Shea will be in Delicate Ink and have a little bit of a story inside the book. And Sassy, Rafe and Ian from Ink Reunited will be getting another book in 2015!!
Reading Order:
Ink Inspired
Ink Reunited (Found in the Mastered antho if you still haven’t read it yet!)
Delicate Ink
Forever Ink
Tempting Boundaries
More to come!

Excerpt 3:
Goddess, what idiots they’d been.
Communication was key in any relationship, and it was even more so for two lost souls who were too afraid to hurt not only each other but also the Pack that had loved and taken her in.
“Ellie mine, what are you thinking about so hard that I can feel your wolf pacing even in human form?” Maddox’s hands brushed up her sides from her hips until he gently cupped her breasts. His hands bypassed her nipples though, and she arched into him, wanting more.
He pulled back after leaving a kiss on her neck then turned her in his arms. She reached up and ran a hand through his sandy blond hair. He had his mother’s hair. Not that she could tell him that anymore, not when the sense of loss would supersede the past memories of what they once had been. “If you keep moaning that way, Ellie mine, then we’ll be naked and sweaty when the Silvers come over to talk about their son.”
Ellie let out a sigh and leaned her head on his shoulder. “As much as I like to be naked and sweaty with you, I guess you’re right. The Silvers should be here any moment. I’d rather not scare them any more than they already are.”
Maddox sighed. “So are you going to tell me what you were thinking about?”
Ellie shrugged. “I’m just thinking about the past, present, and future. You know, nothing too big.”

Redwood Pack, Book 7.5

Excerpt 2:
As the Omega, he had that bond with each and every packmember—except his twin. He could feel the highs and lows that came with living, and it was his job to keep the emotional health of the Redwood Pack in alignment.
Without the mating bond, however, he hadn’t been able to feel Ellie. That alone had made him feel adrift in an endless stream of pain and loss.
Now, though, he had everything.
Or at least he tried to believe he did.
“No, I don’t need to talk about it again,” Maddox finally answered. Ellie let out a breath then leaned into him, brushing her teeth at the same time as he did.
They’d discussed his dreams and what they meant over and over in the past month since the Redwoods had defeated Caym and the Centrals, but they couldn’t find a way to make them stop.
There was no Omega for the Omega.
Not even the mate who loved him with everything she had could be his Omega.
“Mom? Dad?”
Maddox grinned despite the sour way they’d woken up and pulled Ellie into the bedroom at the sound of their daughter’s voice.
“We’re in here, Charlotte,” he called out, grateful he and Ellie had worn clothes to bed that evening.
Charlotte huffed and rolled her pretty brown eyes—so much like Ellie’s— as she walked into the bedroom. Seven years old and the little girl already had the attitude of a pre-teen.
Not that Maddox cared a bit.

Excerpt 1:
The quick, lethal slice of the blade robbed him of breath, and he gasped, clinging to that last thread of life he knew would fade away as he exhaled. Fire scorched down his throat, down his spine. The absence of pain, the absence of agony was a torture in itself. He reached out, begging, screaming until his voice was raw.
It wouldn’t matter though.
It never did.
The darkness surrounded him, clawing, digging its talons into his skin until he bled dry. It was the same thing every time. No matter what he did, he wouldn’t save him. He’d watch him die and lose the connection to the one man who mattered.
He pushed off the enemy and the cloying scent that meant the nothingness had found him and ran through clay and mud to the man who’d fallen, the man who’d been his everything as a child.
“Dad!”
His screams did nothing.
The man fell to the ground, his body burning, turning to ash. There would be no rebirth. No phoenix rising. Only death.
“Maddox! Let go!”
He turned at the sound of his mother’s voice, the pain underlying her terror unbearable. She stood in a ring of fire, a sad smile on her face.
“Let go, baby. Stop fighting.”
