I have this email that I recieve that lets me know about inexpensive and/or free books from certain sites and one of the books is 'I bring the fire'! I was hooked after reading the first page and I am excited to read more! Another thing that excites me i
Thank you for the fangirl moment. I’m so glad you like I Bring the Fire! A surprising number of professional writers also dabble, or have dabbled, in fanfic. Basically, it seems that if you’ve written het for at least three years, you either get published or self-publish. (There are advantages to both). I think it may be a little harder for people who write m/m fic (I think that with the abundance of m/m fanfic, people may be less likely to buy m/m, but not sure). Not sure at all about f/f fic—I think there may be a larger male audience for that?
I don’t make a lot of money yet, but every year I make a little more as my backlist gets a little longer. I hope it will be pocket change when I retire!

I'm continuing to enjoy your series. I got a chuckle earlier today when Amy demanded to go to the pharmacy so she wouldn't get cramps when that time rolled around, and the male agent was all, "Our orders are-" and the female agent just overruled him. *fist
Hi Evakenieva,
I’m glad you enjoyed that little bit of dialogue, and still enjoying the series. After Chaos, there is a novella called In the Balance, Fates, and then The Slip. In the Balance and The Slip aren’t technically required reading, but I think you will enjoy them. I expect there to be two books after Fates:
Warriors (to be released next weekish—Amazon has been slow publishing books of late)
And then Ragnarok. I am currently 40,000 words or so into Ragnarok, I HOPE to be done by Christmas.
There may also be a short story here and there. I do have a few stories I want to write in the same universe, but they are stand alone novels.
I hope you continue to enjoy my work!
