Hi Allyson!
Great to hear from you, and I'm so pleased you've enjoyed Holiday Mates!
By the time Jett appeared in Valentine, I was seriously considering how to give him an HEA too. His story would be fun, BUT he's straight (meaning he'd have to be a minor story thread in an M/M romance series) and I wouldn't want to yank him away from home just yet. It's possible to give him a female shifter mate during a visit to Bear Creek and have them settle in Ohio. I'll give it some thought for down the road but can't promise anything.
By the end for the year, I hope to have the next book published, and I'm leaning towards Father's Day!
Thanks again, and keep reading!!

Hi Linda,
I 'm so pleased that you enjoyed the Gladstone Shifters!
As for additions to the series, I intend to write at least one more sometime in 2024. I'm not sure how much farther I can take this series unless I alter the world significantly, and I don't want to do that. I need to see how book six turns out before I commit to anything else.
Thanks for your great question, and keep reading!

Hi Robin! Thanks for your inquiry.
It's my intention to write at least one more in the series, though I can't say when it might be released. I'm struggling with the plot and characters while wondering if book six will be the last. If so, it changes the way I will write the story. All of the aforementioned must be settled before I begin, and I'm on a brief sabbatical at the moment. Feel free to check the "Books in Process" tab on my website for updates!

This has not been a problem for me. Through the use of scribbled or computer notes, I pretty much always know what comes next and can dive right back in after a pause.
The real issue is having so many ideas I want to pursue and not nearly enough time to tackle them all!

I love seeing the fruit of my imagination come to life in an actual story with "real" characters. I enjoy having creative control over their lives and surroundings, especially when they get a happy ending.
Writing is both cathartic and intensely personal, so I have the opportunity to work on myself through the lives of my characters. Every book I write contains snippets of the "real" me, and I find it incredibly freeing to anonymously share myself with my readers.

I am transitioning to book three in the Gladstone Shifters series and plan to begin writing in March. Right now I am clearing the decks so I can focus on the new book. I'm also adding new bits and pieces to the file and organizing my notes so I can hit the road running.

Gladstone Shifters Book 2, Traitor's Moon released last week! As a series, many of the ideas flowed naturally from the first book, Expectant Moon. I had a blast adding new characters and continuing the story line for the original MC's. I prefer to allow the story to tell itself, so many of the ideas were unplanned and kept me on my toes!
