You're most welcome and thank you :) I'm hoping you like Angel Evolution too, but keep in mind it was the first book I ever wrote so I've learned a lot since then! I just tried to make it interesting and entertaining, I didn't know much about character development or effective dialogue back then!

Hehe thank you!! Ice Country will have a different MC, a male from ice country, but he might just run into some people from fire country (wags eyebrows)

I read the synopsis and "caught" that he'd run into a "group of Fire Country natives". A girl can hope, right? ;-D

Haha! I don't mind a Zee Flood lol!

The first book in my new series The Country Saga (which is a Dwellers Saga sister series) is coming out on February 1st! Fire Country (Country Saga, #1) by David Estes The second book is written and being reviewed by my betas and will be released March 5th. Ice Country (Country Saga, #2) by David Estes The third book will be on June 7th (not yet written) and will be titled Water & Storm Country. Then there will be a 7th Dwellers/Country Saga book which will bring both series together and finish the two sister series off with a BANG! It should be out no later than September of this year!!

Fire Country, like the Dwellers, is YA dystopian, except it's set on the earth's surface rather than underground. Except the world's not the same world we're used to! There's plenty of surprises, lots of action, and a whole new dialect that might make you laugh a little (think Blood Red Road meets The Maze Runner) I hope you enjoy it!!

Can't wait, David, I am so enjoying your books! I am following your work along with the authors of Yesterday's Gone (horror,thriller) and Nevermore (YA paranormal)Sean Platt and David Wright. I have so many books on my Kindle and you guys are keeping me busy. Oh, and Hugh Howey with Wool: I will read anything he writes too.

Uh-huh! I'll probably read your books when I catch up with the books I have to review.
P.S. joining the two series together is a brilliant idea, but I have to finish reading The Dwellers series first. I've only read the first one.

Lol! Epub editions sucks. Tell me about it, I usually prefer to request a pdf copy to read on my laptop rather than use the ipad. Kindle editions though are the best.

Well, way back at the beginning of this ever-growing thread, I promised some tidbits about male hygiene, which I've completely failed at so far, so here goes:

I was so busy today I barely had time to trim my nosehairs.

Oh no! I need to read this book, but if I read it before my birthday (in a couple weeks) then I've managed to break one of my New Years Resolutions (that being to widdle down my already purchased, to read list). If I get my sister to buy it for me, then it's not cheating, right?

Erica | 90 comments What genre do your books fall into? I'm very curious and would love to read one of your books!

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
Aww thanks Erica, you are too sweet :) My most popular books (and my most recent) are YA dystopian The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes The Star Dwellers (The Dwellers, #2) by David Estes The Sun Dwellers (The Dwellers #3) by David Estes Fire Country (Country Saga, #1) by David Estes

My first trilogy was YA paranormal (angels, demons, gargoyles) although its ratings are quite a bit lower than my dystopian novels.

Lastly I wrote a Children's series for 7-10 year olds (kid superheroes)

Thanks so much for your interest and let me know if you have any other questions :)
