Hi Ham! Sorry for the tardy response but I don't check Goodreads very often these days. So happy DatD is one of your favourites! It's one of mine too. ;) I think I can guess which character you're talking about, and yes, there are plans to address this character, however... Writing hasn't been working for me for some time now. Looooooongest writer's block ever. LOL I know how frustrating it is and I wish I could be more positive but right now it's not looking good. Sorry I don't have better news for you and I hope you keep finding amazing books to read!! Cheers, L.J.

Hi Lucy,
Thank you for asking about the books, but I'm very sorry to say that at this stage there are no plans for more Death and the Devil audiobooks. There are various reasons, mostly being the cost of it. That may change in the far distant future but probably not. 😞

Hi Borderstar!
Sorry to say I have no immediate plans for more Death and the Devil audiobooks. I would love to do them, though, so never say never. ;)

Hi Ng!
Thank you so much for reading Night Call and Dead Bones! I'm really glad you enjoyed them, but as of right now, I don't have any plans to continue them. I never say never, though... ;)

Hi Cristina!!
Sorry it took me a while to answer but I can now give you a solid date instead of a vague ‘soon’. 😁

As soon as I have pre-orders ready I’ll announce that too.
Thanks for reading!!! 💜💜

Hi MedievalMinstrel!
That's not too many questions, think I can handle it. 😊
Heh, I tend to worry about most things in a general sense. Will anyone like the characters, or hate them? Will their actions be believable or relatable? There are a few matters that really make me concerned. Mostly about Ethan's past, and we're going to go even further into his past in book 3, so fair warning. I will have content warnings for those elements.
Hmm, not so much a scene as the whole of book 3. 😊 So much happens in it, so many big things. Mostly I just can't wait for everyone's questions to be answered. 😉
Thank you for asking!

Hi Alex!
I was going to wait until I had a date to give you, but... Before the end of the year is as close as I can get right now. Sorry! I wish I had something more concrete for you. As soon as I do, I'll let everyone know. 💜💜

Hi Tanya!
Sorry for the delay in answering but I can now say yes! There will be one novella between WTDSD and book 3. I'm writing it now and it's going to be a decent length one. ;)
Thank you so much for reading and enjoying the books!!

Hi Becca!
Yes, WTDSD will go on pre-order. At this stage, I'm aiming for the 25th November, ebook and paperback! Pre-orders of either format will be discounted a bit so I encourage you to get in early. ;)

Hi Carolyn!
So happy to hear you love Night Call and I would love to give you a definite time frame for #4, but... I do have plans for more Matt and Mercy, it's just finding the inspiration and time is a bit tricky at the moment, sorry. It may take a while, but fingers crossed I learn some organisational skills. ;)
Many cheers!!

Hi Meep,
Thank you for enjoying the book and coda. I rather like them too. ;)
Sorry, but no one's mentioned audio to me yet. Maybe if we all wish really hard something might happen one day.

Hi Shandra!
Honestly, I don't know. Hopefully one day, after I've had a chance to work on it again. I thought it was ready to go out into the world but I think I was wrong.
Thank you for asking about it! If you would really like a copy, PM me and I can send you the format of your choice.

As it's winter here, I'm going with comfort reads and rereading select titles from the Dresden Files.

I had to think on this one for a couple of days and have finally settled on an answer.
Keir Warrick and Val Toreth from Manna Francis' Administration series. They aren't a conventional couple, in that there's little to no romance, they aren't quite monogamous and they've never said 'I love you', yet they're clearly meant for each other and would do just about anything for the other.
