Send me an email and I'll send you the version as it currently exists. I think the ending doesn't work, so I might wind up adding a couple more chapters, but you can read what I've got now and admire its pretty cover! (sarah@sarahwynde.com).

It has! I've been having a good time working on the 4th book in the Tassamara series. I'm not sure how long it's going to take me to finish -- and I've stopped making promises, because I've been saying it would be done for literally years now (and not the kind of literally that really means figuratively). But it's going well at the moment. I'm also really looking forward to getting back to Fen's world. I reread A Lonely Magic recently and while I really, really wanted to revise it one more time (which I might actually do), it also gave me lots of ideas for more adventures for her. Thank you so much for asking!
If you like short stories, I do have some posted on my website, too, a couple of which (Thirty-six Questions and The Court of Arerassi) I really like. http://sarahwynde.com/scribbles/

Yep, there will be. I'm working on it now. (Well, technically I'm working on a short story for an anthology right now, but book 4 -- aka A Gift of Grace -- is what I'll be working on next.) I'm sure you can guess who the main character is from the name. The blurb (currently) is:
A Gift of Grace
The voices are driving him crazy. And he’s driving them crazy, too.
For Noah Blake, pretending to be normal is getting harder by the day. A near brush with death in Iraq has left him suffering from chronic auditory hallucinations. Ignoring the voices he hears isn’t always easy, but Noah knows it’s better than the alternatives.
Yet when a mysterious redhead hands him a seemingly innocuous business card, a new voice—that of a teenage boy—becomes too insistent to deny. It wants him to go to Tassamara. It swears he’ll find help there.
It’s bad enough to have hallucinations, but doing what they say is bound to lead to disaster.
Isn’t it?
****
I'd like to release it in June, but I'm a slow writer and this short story/novella has distracted me for too long. But it's Tassamara, too, about Akira and Zane's wedding, and will be out in June.
Thanks for reading!

Try to write every day and try not to spend too much time rewriting old projects. You don't have to publish your first book. (I didn't, and most authors I know didn't.) All you have to do is learn enough from writing it that the second book will be better. Writing is like music--the more you practice, the more you learn, the better you'll get.

Too many projects to list, but the most important are Ghosts of Belize, a short story with Akira and Zane on their honeymoon, and A Precarious Balance, the sequel to A Lonely Magic.

I always have more ideas than I know what to do with, but sometimes I need to push myself to open up MS Word and stare at a blank file for a while. The longer I can hold out without running away from the empty screen, the more likely I am to actually start writing. If I'm really stuck, I have to take my dogs for a walk.

I was on a sailboat in Belize watching the ocean and wondering about all the life existing just out of sight, when suddenly the scene of a girl being threatened by a guy with a gun popped full-blown into my head. I knew right away that her name was Fen.
