Dear Robin,

Thank you for your question and for being a new fan. That certainly makes my day :)

My advice to all indie authors is to treat your craft like a small business. As an indie author, you will have to wear many, many hats. Starting from the creation process to the actual writing and editing stages, all the way down to the marketing and promotion. It's a busy job with an endless amount of tedious tasks along the way, but no matter what, never get discouraged. Stay persistent and relentless.

Furthermore, as indie authors, we will often be under the microscope and more vulnerable to harsher criticism; however, please don't let that discourage you. Your writing is your art, and you will only further grow and get better with each passing challenge. Stay true to yourself and continue to pursue your dreams.

Just like an attorney running a small firm, rather than operating within a large corporation; or a doctor choosing to work in their private practice instead of a hospital, indie authors are much of the same.

As long as you continue to work hard, keep an open mind and remain positive to any and all challenges, then I believe that every indie author has the potential to succeed.

All the best,

Kristina Stangl(less)

Dear Lisa Berry,

Glad to hear that you enjoyed reading my novels! That certainly makes my day :)

To answer your question, yes, there will be a follow up novel to "The Curse of the Dark Horseman." I do plan on turning this into a new series of upcoming novels. The second novel is currently in the works and will be released sometime in the near future.

Please stay tuned!

Happy Reading,

Kristina Stangl(less)

“May I ask as to why you’re so convinced, that I’m even deserving of such a happy ending? Maybe, a long time ago, I was the villain and thereby, don’t deserve it?”
Kristina Stangl, Cupid's Serenade

“Because all villains have a heart, even if they choose not to embrace it.”
Kristina Stangl, Cupid's Serenade

“Extraordinary people are not meant to live ordinary lives.”
Kristina Stangl, The Curse of the Dark Horseman
