M.L. Spencer answered Jerrica's question: So I am almost finished with dragon mage and I am obsessed! However, I can’t find book to, but heard talk about it becoming a series. I then read some of the other comments and they are talking about book three have I missed something? Hello Jerrica, Book 2 is still in the making! I got a little behind on it.

M.L. Spencer answered Suzanne Webb's question: Is Book 3 in the Chaos Cycle due any time soon? I am awaiting Dragon Mage and saw your answer below, but have not been able to track down any news on Chaos! Hoping to order up book for Xmas gift to myself. Love your work btw so thanks for that I've been in a serious writing slump the past couple of years due to struggles in my personal life. I'm trying to crawl my way out of it, and when I do I will definately not forget Chaos Cycle 3.

Quotes by M.L. Spencer (?)

“The world makes of us what it will, and it doesn’t give a damn about what we want. If we’re lucky, we’ll look back from our deathbeds and find that our lives were lived for a purpose. But more often than not, all we’ll see is a long list of missed opportunities.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage

“Think about all that the wind is and all that it does. Where it goes. Where it comes from. The wind knows everything, for it travels everywhere, and it’s with us always. It endures. It feels. It speaks. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it rages. Give it a listen sometime. See what it tells you.”
― M.L. Spencer, Dragon Mage
