I absolutely adored BURIED HEART as it is a wrenching, nuanced exploration of interracial conflict (and Jes/Kal *swoons*)! Will you continue writing YA after the final Court of Fives novella? Thank you! <3
Kate Elliott
Thank you SO MUCH. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And I’m thrilled you loved the Jes/Kal relationship: I wanted to write a love story in which the obstacles weren’t their feelings or misunderstandings but the world around them and the serious barriers they have to overcome.
I do hope to continue writing YA. While I did write a trilogy and the two companion novellas for Court of Fives, I do have one more novella I would like to write set in the world, the story of what happens to Talon (since her story is left hanging).
As for other YA projects, I am slowly developing the world and characters and plot for a duology that is a portal fantasy and a mother/daughter story. I don’t know when I will write the first draft as I have other commitments currently, specifically my genderbent Alexander the Great as space opera trilogy for Tor Books (2019) as well as the rest of the Black Wolves epic fantasy trilogy.

Will you be returning to the Spiritwalker trilogy, or will that be a standalone trilogy? Likewise, will you be returning to the Spirit Gate trilogy? I enjoyed both immensely and I think there is a lot of material that you could potentially cover in both the Spiritwalker and Spirit Gate trilogies that you didn't explore in the first three books. --Tomas

Hi Mrs. Kate Elliot!, I just finished Court of Fives, and I loved it! I plan to continue reading the fantastic series, as well as catch up on some of your other work. I just wanted to know if the Court of fives series is a trilogy or not? And if it, does that include a prequel and sequel? Thanks. P.S Why would Jes win the Fives! Kal will have to go off to war! They cannot be split apart! I love Kessamay
