I'm looking to release a follow-up this fall. It's been in the works for a few years now (I started writing the sequel right after I released the first book) but it involves a lot of complex story events that I want to make sure are done right. Expanding the world, new characters, time travel, etc. But I'm happy you asked and I hope when it is released you feel it was worth the long wait! (less)

Apologies for not seeing your question earlier! I don't have a planned number in mind. I'm currently working on the 4th plus a companion series of short stories that feature the other characters from the series. There are three of those planned right now.

Thanks for your question!(less)

It’s a haiku

The struggle to write / a dark and lingering cloud / then a pierce of light

Words by me.

Choice freely given
Except the first and the last
In between is ours

Once here we all start
Time measured in breaths stolen
Ignorance ’til death

Blind to the future
No turning around again
Forward until done

Would I choose that date
If given the chance to choose
Or remain never knowing

To contemplate death
To give it a name

“I don’t know what it is that comes over me, but suddenly I’m crossing to his side of the table and sitting down in his lap, arms wrapping around his neck. His lips are soft against mine, and when I part them he tenderly obliges, tasting me delicately. His fingers prod at my back, never going further than the small indent at the base of the spine, and it’s all very lovely and nice.

“I think I could get used to you,” I say, looking down into his beautiful brown eyes, deep like the color of autumn.
(From "Undone, The Romance of Nick and Layla [Part 5"]).”
Crystal Cierlak

“And yet … marriage seems to be the worst thing to happen to me. Though there are days I would argue that that wasn’t true at all, and that the worst thing to happen to me is Nick Hudson. Not that picking one definitive answer would change the outcome. Nothing can change that now. Nothing dead can be brought back to life, literally or otherwise.”
