Are your Divine Assistance series, in the same Universe as the Unconventional Hero’s series? If so, will the characters meet at all? Was just wondering, because I always consider those two series of yours to be a lot of fun. So, just thinking of the character interaction between them would be even more fun.

That's an interesting question. Technically speaking, they are not set in the same world. Notice that the mortals in the Divine Assistance series don't really demonstrate too much in the way of magical powers (demigods aside) whereas the mortals of the Unconventional Heroes can have incredibly powerful magic (e.g., Timmy and the gang).
Of course, the Unconventional Heroes series does acknowledge the existence of other worlds and universes. Sam and the other eldritch horrors that live beneath the castle are perfect examples of that. However, you probably won't be seeing the two groups of characters together.
I will say, though, that some of them would likely get along quite well. Young Death, for example, would think of Spot as a perfectly charming and adorable dragon, and the rats would probably join Zephyra's raccoon in stealing stuff from the divine orchards if they had the chance. Bureaucracy would probably try to adopt Katie since she's a child who is not only good at paperwork but also actually enjoys it to some extent.

Half question, half confession. I love your writing, but I have picked up and put down your various series so much, I am confused about which books go to which series. I likely need to reread/read them all at this point in sequence. I am unsure as to the best place to start. What sequence would you advise someone to approach your work -- which series first, second etc?

Are you planning on adding to the Unconventional Heroes series? I haven't laughed so steadily at a book series since I read Discworld, and since Terry Pratchett's move to the Ethereal Zip Codes, I find your fiction fills some of that comedic void in my literature-landscape.

I’m not quite sure exactly when your next book comes out. But I was wondering if we would ever cross paths with Timmy and Katie’s family at all? I was also curious if Timmy’s frienemy was going to somehow be involved? Just curious and waiting patiently for your next book.
