Yes :) It’s in production now!

Hi Annie :) thank you for your question! Colorless is Gaslamp Fantasy--so it's late Regency, early Victorian. So far two books are planned (Colorless and Silver) as well as a prequel (Hazel) --though the prequel may only be available to my newsletter subscribers (for free). Hazel definitely will be available to them, but I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'm going to fully publish the prequel to online retailers.

Hi :-) thank you for your question! I'm so glad you loved it! As of right now, I don't have any set plans for a sequel (I do have some ideas for one, though, so maybe). I'll update this if things change.

Thank you for asking. What inspires the books I write? Hmmm, well, a couple things that I can think of off the top of my head.
I often have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and they usually kick start my projects. I wake up from a dream and whether it's good or bad, I have a hard time leaving it. So I'll try to recreate it on paper and keep going from there.
I also enjoy writing about exotic or foreign locations, so I'll use my experiences traveling or living in those locations to inspire the day to day smells, sights and situations in the books.

Thank you for your question! I was hoping to have it out in 2016, but it may be late in the year or even early 2017 (hopefully not! fingers crossed).
