Since the Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising Trilogies take place in the Otherworld Universe, will you ever write a novella where the characters from Otherworld meet the kids from DP/DR? I would love to read that!

It's a timeline issue. The Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising books all took place in 2008, at the same time as Frostbitten in the Otherworld series. In the latest Otherworld novella, Forsaken, it's 2012. That means Chloe is 19, Maya is 20...
I can't write a story with them meeting earlier than that, or it would be weird that they're never referenced in later Otherworld stories. But if I fast-forward and write about them meeting now, I'm sure readers would complain that I'd skipped 4-5 years of the teen characters' lives. So it's not a "never" but it's problematic.

Hi Kelley, I absolutely LOVED The Masked Truth! I was wondering, how did you know exactly how hostage negotiations work? Did you research it or read another book or watch another movie about it? It was so well done! I could envision all of it. How'd you do it?
