So excited about BENEATH THE KEEP! Should we expect to see some of the same characters from the trilogy?
Erika Johansen
You will; off the top of my head, you'll see the Mace, Elyssa, Thorne and Brenna, and (very briefly) Kelsea as well.

I can't stop thinking about Kelsea. I want her so much to have a happy ending. I felt like I went through the stages of grieving at the end of the 3rd book. Is her story over, or will the 4th book still involve her? I love her. She became someone, despite her parentage. She realized that her dark Robbin Hood love interest was just a man and she ruled and sacrificed, for better or worse.

Erika, I have yet to find any book (or series, for that matter) that moves me in such a way that your works do. The theme of society existing for the good of everyone is one I resonate with intensely. Your blend of realism, fantasy, and dystopia is gripping and as an avid reader, I have yet to read anything like it. Thank you for putting your ideas into these books. Will you bless us with any more Kelsea?

Hi Erika, just wanted to say I first picked up the Tearling on 2014 and have been hooked ever since. I saw your comment about BTK not being as popular as the trilogy and I cannot for the life of me understand why! BTK is even better than the original trilogy in my opinion; it was by far the very best book I read in 2022. When you wrote the original books, did you already have BTK's backstory in mind? Thank you!
