Lizzie,
Saint is the second book in the series. I'm working on book 3 now (right now planning on a 6 book series in total). Also, Draxius Lost and Draxius Redeemed is a two-part set of serial novella that follows the Emily Martin character when she is a young Lt. In terms of reading order, I would say read Gateway and, if you like the Martin character, read the Draxius novellas and then move to Saint. You can read the novellas without reading the series and the series without the novellas as well and not miss any major elements. Thanks.(less)

Sarah,
Draxius Redeemed should be available in the next few days (I am being told this weekend) on Amazon in ebook and then about a week later in paperback. It should have released last weekend but there were a few technical issues with the upload so it was pushed a few days. As soon as it is up, I will post on my FB page and twitter letting everyone know. Also, Saint is still scheduled for an early November release.
Thanks for your patience,
Brian(less)

Update

Sorry so long without an update. I've been focusing a lot on comic books and some film stuff recently, but wanted to share that Book 5 of the Gateway series is now out, the graphic novels War Angels and The Third Testament is available in paperback and I plan on releasing the folk horror novella, The Borderlands in Feb/March.
