Will you write another Dalriata book? I loved Eye of Scota sooooo much. (asked 12/28/19)
Serena Yates I am planning to write another on yes. Though I have not written much in the last couple of years since I moved to Canada (from the UK) and am busy going to university. But I definitely want to get back to it this summer. :-)

hello, how can you read so many books in a short time?
Serena Yates I love reading, so I do a lot of it. Plus, I read very quickly... :-)

Maybe try Smashwords? You can also stick it up on Amazon then tell all your followers to use their "Tell Us about a Better Price" button on the sales page to force them into lowering it. I've seen a few authors do that in the last couple of months. Just an idea. I really did love the story and wish more people got a chance to read it.
Serena Yates Those are great ideas, Shelley! I am not yet on Smashwords at all, but maybe it is time to try. :-) I really appreciate your enthusiasm!!!

Which one of your books is your favorite and recommend? (SideNote: ur awesome & ur reviews are how I primarily book hunt!)
Serena Yates Hi Ashar,

asking me which of my books is my favorite is like asking who is my most-loved child, LOL. I love them all for different reasons... But if you're looking for a contemporary read, Fighting for Love is close to my heart. For science fiction, I'd recommend Eye of Scota, and for paranormal/fantasy there is the Gemstone Chronicles series (still working on completing it), as well as The Cake (part of the Elemental Superpowers series).

And I am so glad my reviews are helpful. :-)

Hey hon, I just finished Thanksgiving and was wondering why it isn't on B&N or Amazon? It's a great short story. Is there anyplace else you have it so I can leave a review?
Serena Yates Hi Shelley,

sorry it took me so long to reply - I never saw this question pop up until now! Amazon will not let me do free reads, for some reason (at least not last time I tried) and I am not yet on B&N. It is up on the diversitynovels.com website though, and I'd be very grateful for a review there.

Thank you!

Do you have any plans for more books in the Dalriata series? I just finished Eye of Scota and it's a fantastic book. More, please? (asked 8/17/2018)
Serena Yates Hi Andrea - I am glad you liked Eye of Scota! And I do have plans for 1 or 2 more books in the series, but it will take a while for me to write them. Thanks in advance for your patience!

HI Serena I would like to know if you where thinking of write book three of "Keeping You"? Because I really like the first two books. I was hoping to find out what was the story between the waiter and the lawyer. I hope some day you will go back and tell their story.
Serena Yates Hi Gillian, although it has been a long time since I wrote the first two books, the third (and maybe more) story is still one I want to tell. Thank you so much for letting me know you are interested! :-)

Dear Serena, I'm a writer of travel /memoir books and am compiling material for a book about the tradition of humour in Anglo Saxon travel/memoirs. (Others don't seem to have it.) From what seems to be an impressive knowledge of books are there any you could recommend hat would be relevant? - if that doesn't take up any of your time. I'd be so grateful if you could. Regards, Anthony
Serena Yates Hi Anthony, what an interesting question! Personlly, I have n experience of travel or memoir humor. But I think that Bill Bryson has written a few books with funny travel episodes. Then I got curious and googled "travel humor in books" and got a huge list. This is the link: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tra...
I hope this helps you!
Regards, Serena

Hi, is there any place, your novellas "Rescuing the Librarian" and the other parts of your New Horizons series are still available? (except the Diversity Free Reads?) I can't find them anywhere... :(
Serena Yates Hi Drima, I am so sorry that I never saw your question here! The New Horizon novellas are currently out of print, but I intend to rerelease them sometime next year.

I happened to see your colorful logo, the went to your site. Considering your reading preferences, I was surprised that you added my book, The SHIVA Syndrome. What made you select it?
Serena Yates Among others, I am interested in stories about paranormal abilities, and saw your book pop up on one of my friends' shelves. The blurb sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a go. :-)

What are you currently working on?
Serena Yates I'm currently working on another new book in the Workplace Encounters series, a collection of stories about blue collar workers and the men they fall in love with. This one is called The Plumber, and I am having a lot of fun doing research into plumbing and everything that goes with it!
