Hi. Sorry, for the delay in responding. Yes, there will be more in the Ivy Blackwood series. I'm hoping for an early 2021 release, but it all depends on the characters speaking to me. : )

Hi Kameryn. Just Me is re-releasing on October 6, 2015. It was originally self-published in 2012 when I first started on this awesome journey of publishing--which is why you see reviews and ratings on Goodreads--but I've learned a lot since then, so I unpublished Just Me a few years ago and have since rewritten most of it. It's also been through editing and copyediting, proof and beta-reading and has an updated cover--none of which I had done for the original. : ) This new edition will be available as both an ebook and paperback in the Amazon Kindle store as well as an ebook on the Nook.

Actually, Trent's name was changed in Beautifully Damaged as well. My Indie version of Beautifully Damaged was picked up by a publisher in 2013 and my editor felt I used too many T names. There is an author's note in the beginning of Beautifully Forgotten that mentions the massive edits done to Beautifully Damaged, the name change for Trent is mentioned specifically, and how Beautifully Forgotten follows those changes. I had a summary listing the changes in Beautifully Damaged posted on my Facebook page for months but now you can find it on my website under News and Events.

Yes, I'm going to start writing Rafe's story in January.

Beautifully Damaged was picked up by a publishing house in the spring of 2013. The re-release of the book in March 2014 was through the publishing house after I worked extensively with an editor: scenes were removed, new scenes were added, secondary characters were developed differently and Trent's name was changed to Kyle since my editor felt there were too many T names.
With all the changes, especially with Beautifully Forgotten releasing, my publisher and I tried to communicate these changes in Beautifully Damaged so those who read the original Indie version weren't confused when reading Lucien's story.
There is an editorial note on Beautifully Damaged's Amazon page that states it's a revised edition. There is also an Author's Note in the beginning of Beautifully Forgotten that references the changes in Beautifully Damaged from the Indie version to the new Montlake version, specifically the changing of Trent's name. A link on my Facebook page goes to a cheat sheet that details the major changes between the editions.
Probably more information than you needed. : ) L.A.

Hi Cynthia. No, Kyle is not based on anyone I know, just randomly picked the name. I'm in Bucks County, just outside Philly.

Hi Sandy. Yes, Rafe's book will be the next in the series however I'm taking a break from the Beautifully series and working on a few other stories.

Hi Yolanda. Yes, eventually Rafe and Kyle (Trent) will each get a story, but I'm taking a break from the Beautifully series and working on some others.

Hi Pat. This is the Life isn't available at this time. I removed it from the Kindle store back in 2012 along with my other books. I will be re-releasing it but it needs to go through editing first. Currently, I'm working on Just me, which will be released probably in early spring of 2015. This is the Life won't be released until, at the earliest, late next year.
