Hi Malene - apologies for the delayed response! I'm happy to share that Louder Than Love re-released last week, and the others will follow in early 2021! My only excuse is...2020. LOL These have been a long time coming and I appreciate your patience!

Hi Amber - please accept my apologies...Goodreads never alerted me to your question! And it sounds like my newsletter failed you too. :( If you are still interested, you can now grab a copy on Amazon for free, or from any of the other e-book platforms - this link will send you there. https://books2read.com/morethanmerry
Again, so very sorry for the delay! Happy Holidays!

Hi Ann,
Goodreads just shared your message with me now - sorry for my delayed response! Thrilled to hear you have enjoyed all the Love & Steel books. I've been brewing ideas for where I'd like to go next with the series, but no definite details as of yet. It's been my favorite "world" and characters to write so far, so coming back to them in a new book would be like visiting old friends. :)

Hi Sneha, This is so wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! I really enjoyed writing Dictatorship of the Dress, so it makes me happy to hear it stays in people's minds after they've finished reading it. :)

Hi Elena - glad to hear you enjoyed it! I do have some ideas for additional books in the series - and I think there are some other characters who deserve books of their own - but nothing is official yet. I will keep you posted!

Hi Claudia! Usually the publisher offers the title up on Netgalley for review requests, about a month before release date. Thanks for asking!

Great question! I had so much fun finding inspiration for Adrian and his axes. (Looking at pictures of hot rocking guitarists and listening to many smoking solos is totally book research...)
When we meet Adrian, he is playing a battered Guild 12-string acoustic, and later he mentions his friend Randy gave it to him. That was my homage to Randy Rhoads, one of my all-time favorite guitarists.
But naturally, a musician of Adrian's caliber (and wealth) would own many guitars. :) Mostly electric ones. He shares his "secret" new composition with Kat in his bedroom playing his signature Ibanez, which is like a classic metal guitar. And he plays a Roadstar (also an Ibanez brand) when he sits in with Jim's band, Dead Can Dream.
But in my mind, and in various incarnations of this book (many deleted scenes) Adrian does favor a 70s Goldtop Gibson Les Paul, which he claims was his first guitar. :)
