After the IBF series is finished, will there be a box set? Or, a new series, maybe?

Hi thank you so much for writing me!

The I Bring the Fire series was finished in March … but then I was struck by inspiration and wrote Atomic, part of the Nightshade Antho (only 99¢ for all 17 stories until the 29th, so you, know, grab it!) 

I am planning to release Parts 1, 2, 3 and In the Balance in a box set too. Probably in November? 

The world I created for I Bring the Fire opens itself up to so many possibilities. There was the time Loki spent away from Amy chasing Cera, I could write stories in that time–one came to me this Friday! 

And I don’t feel like I’ve done the Creation side of Chaos enough justice either. But the exact plot of that is escaping me. 

I do worry that Bohdi, Amy, and Steve together are so strong the stories wouldn’t have much conflict. But maybe writing “around them” would work? 

I want to write about the elf steward Lionell and his Chicago tech-social-media-savvy girlfriend. Also, I’d like to write about Rush, that sad, sad, puppy.

For now I’m writing Archangel Down a sci-fi story with a lot of romance and has some other themes I really want to explore. In a way it’s about Chaos, too, because it features the choice to accept or reject it, whether to consciously evolve, or to, well, not … A particular aspect of this theme I can’t explore in the IBF universe, which is why I had to leave for a while. But I’m pretty sure I’ll be back. 

Thanks again for writing!
