Hi, Casey! Yes, she does get her own book :) It's already started. It's called Mercy. It will be out next year. I am finishing The Deal, a book in the series with new cousins to give the series a "refresh" before I get to her book and her brother's book.

Hi Scarlett,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts.
To clarify, Tall, Dark & Lonely was lightly updated to reflect minor improvements in grammar, flow, and consistency with the series, while Tall, Dark & Heartless had no changes beyond spelling and formatting corrections to prepare it for paperback. I understand that even small adjustments can sometimes feel more noticeable, especially when a reader is very familiar with a story.
My goal was never to change the heart of these books, but rather to ensure they remain polished and aligned with my current writing style for new readers discovering the series today.
I truly appreciate your passion for the original versions and your dedication to the characters. It’s always humbling to hear from longtime readers, and I hope future stories continue to resonate with you.
Warmly,
R.L. Mathewson

Hi, Abbey :) I am working on it. They need one more thorough read through/edit each and they will be up :) Just taking more time that I thought it would. With 30+ books to get into paperback and writing new books, it's a bit overwhelming, but I am on it!

Hi, StoryThyme!
No release date yet. I am working on it, but I am trying to get the next Pyte, Cursed Heart, and Anger Management out first. I am trying to work on it part-time, though :)

It will probably be about a month or two after the ebook/paperback release simply because Audible needs a 90 day window to get it made, but it is getting made :)

Hi, Dee :)
I'm working on Short, Lethal & Claimed at the moment. It's Logan's book and will be out this summer. The next book after that will probably be Cade's, no title yet, since it's the origin story.
I hope this helps :)

Hi, Larabukky :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy the books. Nathan will be getting a book, the second book for the EMS series has been started. I'm just getting through each series, one by one, but it is a goal :)

Hi, Keisha!!!!
I am working on it :) I had to push everything back when my son Shane had a health scare. He's doing better now, and I am moving on :) I am planning for a fall release of Grey's book :)

Hi, Mrinalini :)
I don't have a set date yet, but I am working on the book part time until I can finish catching up with the rest of the NFH and Pyte series. Little by little it's getting there :)

Hi, Linda :) They're currently creating it. I'm not sure how much longer it will take, but as soon as I hear something I'll do my best to update everyone :)

Hi, Keisha :) I think I only got one for the NFH and one for the Pyte series since Furious. it's been a really hectic/weird year. My goal is to get to them this fall. Right now, I am doing a standalone, getting to the NFH since it's been a long time for that, and the Pyte books again as well as Cursed Heart. I'm taking a bit of time for the AM because they take a lot more out of me and they are the most challenging. I like to get the emotions right on those books, but they are definitely a priority.

Hi, Keisha :)
Absolutely :) I meant to get to it this year, but Kale took an insane amount of time. I've never had to work that hard on a Pyte book before. I have Destroyed and Pathetic on my calendar for next year and doing my best to make sure that I get to them :)
Hope this helps :)
