(view spoiler)[I loved this series to death and I'm so impressed by every single detail coming into play eventually, except for this one: Anomalous made a potion thing that can literally kill you for a couple hours and then you come back, but Damien and Amma didn't even consider using it. Was this intentional because they just absolutely did not want to be separated from each other or was this just a forgotten detail? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hello! Thank you for letting me know you loved V&V :)
Damien is ultimately skeptical of Anomalous's skill. He trusts him in a friend/loyalty way, knows he's talented, and he takes his advice to heart, but he knows Anomalous messes up *a lot.* Damien is also pretty self absorbed, so what he really wanted was a solution that *he* could carry out (because who better, right?) Also, if Anomalous makes a potion that lets the drinker come back, it's probably not *actual* death, or at least that might be how Damien would reason it. And really, killing Amma, even for a short while, wasn't something Damien ever wanted, and probably not something Amma would have agreed to. (And also, maybe, there's a sliiiiiiight chance that I added that potion for humor's sake and didn't think about the plot-related implications of it existing :D) (hide spoiler)]

Hi! Bound to Fall and the short story - The Elven Days of Christmas - will have their own audiobooks? If so, any idea when? It is kind of difficult for me to read (young children, job), but I listen a lot of books while walking or working. I love the narrators of V&V series, I think they would make an excellent pair for other books too.

Will you ever release V&V in hardback? I read them on Kindle, but I love the covers so much that I'd love to display them somewhere. Also thank you for writing quite possibly my favorite characters ever (Damien, Amma, Kaz, etc.). The way you wrote them made me truly care about them and their futures.
