I adore that fantastical mind of yours! seriously you're hands down my favorite author of all time. like i count down my months, weeks, days for the next release of your books If Will and Lena ever have children will they be born a verwolfen? or is it a higher chance of being verwolfen but also a chance at being human? will they ever have children? (they are also my favorite couple)

Thank you Tiffany (: I love doing what I do and creating all my crazy worlds.
Will and Lena hold a soft spot in my heart too. And you ARE going to see some of the answers to your questions in future books (particularly book five in my London Steampunk spin-off, The Blue Blood Conspiracy - which is the Duke of Malloryn's book). I'm not going to go into too much detail *no spoilers*, but I think you will be happy with the results.
Verwulfen women often produce verwulfen children, as the loupe is a virus. I'm stealing little bits and pieces of the loupe form the CMV virus and Hepatitis B/C (totally unrelated, but the way they actually work... kinda, but also putting my own spin on things). So if the verwulfen is the father, and if he DOESN'T infect the woman during sex, then there's a far lower risk of the child being born infected. But if the woman is verwulfen, and infected with the loupe, then the risk is quite high. If the child is infected via the placenta, then miscarriage rates and tubal pregnancies can affect survival rates, but of the pregnancies that survive, around 80% of children born will have the loupe. If they're infected during the actual birth, then it's a little more complicated. Rest assured, I write romance and Will and Lena have been through enough, so I guarantee happy, healthy verwulfen babies.
Cheers,
Bec

I also just finished "The Mech Who Loved Me" and adored it! Liam and Ava are now one of my favorite couples of the whole London Steampunk world. Once you finished this five book arc, will you write more stories set in the London Steampunk world? Any chance of another related series, perhaps featuring the Norwegian verwulfen such as Astrid and Eric?
