Do you have any new updates on the next shirt campaign? I know you said soon on FB, but I received my Chaos T and I WANT MORE! I think a Nightingale Inv./Carnal Hotel/Bubba's/Tess's Cakes shirt would be cool. Will you ever make designs for shirts/totes to be for sale on your merch site? Different from the R.C.N. special ones of course. Didn't know if it was a matter of cost, someone to design, or preference not to.

We've just completed the design of two new logos from my books and we'll be doing a charity tee drive soon. I'm off to Vegas this week for the RT Convention and then BOUNTY is coming out on the 18th so things are a bit busy right now. HA! Always something rockin' in the Rock Chick Lair, for sure.
But yes, we do intend to do some Rock Chick Nation good for the world soon. Just gotta find the time to organize the campaign.
As for doing more merchandise, this could happen. We've got some tumblers, travel mugs and bumper stickers we sell and I'm kinda at capacity in my office. One needs storage space to have stock and we're close to hitting our limits on that!!!
That doesn't mean no. It's just...well, to be totally honest, my first focus is on writing. I want to write good books with the hopes my readers enjoy spending time with them. And when I get away from that, I want to commune with my readers at signings and conventions and Rock Chick Rendezvous. So designing, producing, selling and stocking merchandise is something we do, and we may do more of it in the future, it's just not my highest priority.
But also...I like that my Chicklets wear pieces of my books with pride and do it doing something good. Raising money that will do a little good for the world.
I hope that makes sense and doesn't disappoint!
And thanks for supporting the Chaos tee BACA campaign -- delighted you want more!

Hi Kristen. One of my favorite books of yours is Fairytale Come True. It just really resonated with me for some reason - I cried more than once. Anyhoodle, I'm pretty sure I've read your entire catalog, but there seemed to be so much to the backstory of Annie and Dougal that it made me wonder if you wrote a book about them and I missed it somehow. If not, have they ever hinted that they might want their story told?

Hi Kristen! One of the many reasons that I love you is the length of your books! I love that I can get lost in one of your novels for days because they are THAT long! Does writing a lengthy novel come natural to you, where the words just keep coming and you can't help but have a really long book? Thank you <3
