Is there a clearer order of the Home collection chronologically? I know GR lists them by publication. And as I'm binge listening to them, I do see that they can be read alone. But my brain keeps trying to sort out the time links between the different books.. (example: does Noah & Clark accident happen before/during/after Jonathan & David's Story?) It isn't a vital question, but my brain likes being clear on such.
Cardeno C. The books have overlapping timelines so there isn't a chronological reading order. You can read them in whatever way you like best! :)

I'm sure you have been asked this a hundred times and I apologize for being the 101st. I currently just finished the Mates series for the second time and was wondering if you are done with that series or if there would be another one later on? Maybe? Someday? lol
Cardeno C. Hi, Jimmy. I don't have plans to write more books in the Mates world. But I do have other shifter worlds in my head and hopefully I'll get those new worlds on paper soon.

Do you have any upcoming new releases?
Cardeno C. Hi, Gina. I'm working on the next Pack book. :)

I admire your style and subject matter. I have an idea for a gay novel but I don't know how to start. Can you make any suggestions? I was particularly interested in finding out how you chose an editor or did you use one? Thanks, Chuck Bernard chuckbernard54@yahoo.com
Cardeno C. Thank you, Chuck. I don't have any particularly brilliant advice about how to start other than to put fingers to keyboard and go for it. Every writer has a different process (outlines, character lists, bullet points, song lists, etc.) and I'm sure you'll find what works best for you. I have a wonderful editor: http://jaeashley.com/. (Also, I want to make sure you know these questions and answers are public and yours has an email address shown.)

are you work on a new book? and when is it coming out. I miss reading books from you
Cardeno C. Hi, Gillian. I am working on another book but it's slow going and I don't have a release date yet. <3

Will there be a second book in the Friends series? Will Jack be getting a happy ever after?
Cardeno C. Hi, Gina. Yes, that's my plan. :)

Hi Cardeno, are you planning on writing Ricky's story from Red River (Pack series)? Also in "Strong enough" Maria Lee sounded like a really cool character. I know it would be MF novel but is there a chance she can get her own book?
Cardeno C. Hi. Ricky's story is the one I'm (very very very slowly) working on now. And I love Maria too! Unfortunately, I don't have plans to venture out of my current genre.

Don't you have more planned in the future for the Siphon series? Or will you be leaving that as a single book? And Friends as well?
Cardeno C. I don't have other stories outlined for those yet. I haven't been writing much lately so I'm not sure how long it'll be before I get done with the books I already have outlined. <3

Hello! I was just wondering, can you tell me which of your series are completely finished? I would just like to know so I can stop hoping for more books in some of the series i've read. lol Please and thank you.
Cardeno C. Hi, Hannah. The Pack collection and the Hope collection are the only two in which I currently have more books planned. :)

Any new releases coming soon? Preferably paranormal? Anything? I miss your writing! (asked 06/06/2018)
Cardeno C. Hi, Andrea. My next release will be a paranormal book but I've been struggling to write lately so it won't be soon. :( I'm very sorry and I'm trying to get back into my groove. <3

Hello! I love your writing style, I'm a big fan. I just wanted to ask, will there be a third Pack book? Is one of my favorites! I can't describe how beautiful your work is (Sorry English's not my native language)
Cardeno C. Hi, Sandy. Your English is wonderful! Yes, I'm working on the next Pack book now. :)

Hi, I love your books. But my favorite has to be Johnnie. Thank you for writing that amazing book. When is the next book coming in the Siphon Collection series? Coz I am eagerly awaiting.
Cardeno C. Thank you, Shivani! I'm so glad you enjoyed Johnnie. I will write more Siphon books but I don't have timing yet. :)

I just finished the Mates Series, which I truly enjoyed. Though, I felt like I was missing something... Is there a correct order/ time line between connecting series?
Cardeno C. Hi, Jennifer. Each Mates book is freestanding but as far as when the stories take place chronologically, Until Forever Comes is first, then Wake Me Up Inside. In Your Eyes and To Touch You come after that and their timelines overlap.
flag
Any information on when the 3rd Pack book will be released? And the 4th and 5th...I love these characters! (asked 6/5/17)
Cardeno C. Hi, Andrea. I have the 3rd book sketched and the 4th in what I call the summary stage (sort of like a pre-blurb) but as far as actual dates to write them...I'm not sure yet. I am finishing up the next Hope book now and working on the next Friends book and also another so I'm not sure how long it'll all take. :)

Hello, what's the upcoming audio project/book? I need a fix ☺️
Cardeno C. Hi, Lulu. Jumping In was just released on Audio. Ezekiel Robison narrated it and he is FANTASTIC! Charlie David finished his narration of Wake Me Up Inside and it's in editing. Hopefully it'll be released by the end of the month. That only leaves one of my books not in audio - To Touch Me. Charlie will start recording that novel in October. :)

First I have to say is I love your books. Secondly I was wondering if there is a timeline for the next Siphon book? Keep up the great writing. xoxo
Cardeno C. Thank you, Diane! I will write more Siphon books but I don't have a timeline quite yet.

Is there going to be a second book in the Friends Series? Will Jack get a happy ever after? Love your books. When I can't find anything new I want to read, yours are the books I re-read over and over again.
Cardeno C. Hi, Gina. Yes, I'll have more Friends stories, including Jack's. I'm glad you've enjoyed my books!

Hi.. your shifter series is awesome.... loved it..... are you planning to write more paranormal??????
Cardeno C. Hi, Kate. I'm currently writing the last book in my Mates collection. I'll have more books in my Pack collection and in my Siphon collection when I have time to write them. So yes, more paranormal for sure!

I just want to say that I really enjoy your books. I am currently listening to Johnnie, which I'm loving, & was wondering if there will be another book in the series? If so any idea when that might be? Thank you so much.
Cardeno C. Hi, Diane. Thank you so much! Yes, there will definitely be more. I have several books slated for that collection. As far as when, I keep falling behind on everything so I'm not sure but I'm doing my best to catch up!

Cardeno C. Hi, Gillian. I'm glad you enjoyed Not a Game. Yes, I'll have more books in the Friends collection. :)
