Marian asked Susan Trombley:

Hola Susan, I just have read the Kraken's Mate and The Warrior's Mate, wonderful books both of them; but I read your notes at the end of The Warrior's Mate and I have too many questions: - Hunter's Mate is going to be about Hunter...and Tarin? Or are we going to see a story between Halian and Tarin? ;-)) - Chimera's Gift is not going to be Ava's story? You said you can publish it before Halian's story...

Susan Trombley Thank you for asking, and I'm sorry about any confusion the author's note might have caused. Chimera's Gift will be the fourth book in my "Into the Dead Fall" series, so it won't be Ava's story. With Ava's story, I've decided to wait until the next two stories in the series are complete, because of things that Ava's mates will know that could end up being spoilery for those books. I decided this as my work on Ava's book revealed things I wasn't ready to reveal yet, so I knew I would have to push it back to after the other two books. As for Tarin... well, I can't reveal that yet. ;) But I hope you will be looking forward to the next book to learn more, and don't worry, Ava's book IS coming down the line. :D
