Chapter 0609

Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking this journey with me. As many of you may have read, Lily was adamant that I tell her story. And while it took longer in the beginning than I expected, I hope you got to see what a great person she is.

Many of you have asked for a continuation of the series and your wish is granted! My first book about the Guardian's children, Shattered Bonds, is out now. This is Richie and Emlyn's story but will touch on many of the Guardian children as they have all grown up together. You will also get glimpses of Lily's story, which is scheduled to be the second book in the series and Alexander's, or Xander as he's called by his friends and family. Xander's book is scheduled to be third and Leana's book is scheduled to be fourth. I'm trying not to get far ahead of myself, my brain starts writing books long before I'm ready to put them on paper. But, I do have a tentative story line for Xander and Leana and Lily's book has already start writing itself in my head. Hopefully you'll enjoy the next generation of Guardians as much as you enjoyed the first trilogy.

Also, if you haven't tried it, I have a book out called The Arena. It's the first in the Elemental Dragons series. It's very different from this world of the Guardians. That book is filled with shifters and, you guessed it, dragons. That series is intended to have four books, one for each dragon.

I'm still trying to figure out a posting schedule with the two books. Richie's story is written in my head and is ready to be put to paper, but The Arena is my husband's favorite. Writing 17-20 chapters a week is tough, but mostly manageable. So I may divide the number of chapters each book gets each week, rather than focusing on one while the other finishes. That would mean one possibly two chapters a day for both books, rather than two chapters a day for one and three chapters a week for the other. I'd love your input and what your preference is.

I have seen a couple of comments about whether or not my books are in paperback or available on A****n. Currently, I'm exclusively on GoodNovel, but I am going to see about getting the trilogy published. If that happens, I will let you know. And, I do plan to publish The Arena when it's done. Depending on how popular it is, I may publish all four books in that series as well.

If you like my books, please leave me a review on the front page. That helps my ratings in the app and I need 25 for the star rating to actually be effective.

Finally, I want to thank all of you. Your comments and positive feedback help motivate me to sit and write these stories when I'm exhausted at the end of my day job. It really encourages me and, of course, these characters become real in my head and become demanding, taking up way too much of my head space.

Thank you again! And happy reading.
