I unexpectedly cried during the last couple pages of The Bones of Valhalla.... just because its the end?? After every book i'd finish I would find myself missing... truly missing the characters. Great series.. I am sooo glad I bought that first book. Not really a question, and Im sorry about that..
Sam Sisavath :D Thanks for reading, Lauren.

Hey Sam - my husband, son and I love your Purge series - awesome writing and great characters (especially Will and Danny - hilarious duo). My only complaint (apart from the high percentage of blonde and redhead female characters!) is that I can't put them down long enough to go to sleep. Does the series end at book 7?
Sam Sisavath Book 9 will be the finale.

Hi Sam! No (?) here, just a very big thank you! I'm serving in the Peace Corps and let's just say that what Rwanda makes up for in beautiful surroundings, it lacks in electricity. My nights are filled with reading by Kindle light; The Purge of Babylon series has kept me quite occupied. Just finished Spears and already itching for the next. Again, thank you for hours of entertainment!
Sam Sisavath Glad to be of service, Melissa!

You just released book 7, that makes me officially behind by 2 books. I'm sure you've answered this question, and I've read that you do know how you will eventually end the series, but I was wondering if you had any idea how many more books will be in the series? If you keep releasing them I'll never catch up! *insert ludicrous gasping belly-laugh here*
Sam Sisavath Hi Kyle. There will be two more books.

Love the series so far Sam! Just one question, are you going to explain the origin of the ghouls?
Sam Sisavath Hey DeVol, sorry for the lateness in answering. For some reason, I don't get email alerts about questions posted here. Weird.

Anyways, to answer your question, yes, you will learn a lot about the ghouls. Now that we have an "inside man," we'll know more about them and where they came from, but perhaps not everything. At least, not just yet.

Sam, We were able to pre-order Fires but I have not seen the option to pre-order Ashes. Is it available? Nothing better than waking up with it already on my Kindle! I'd like to send it to some people as a gift as well. Mary
Sam Sisavath Hi Mary, you don't have to pre-order Ashes. It's been available since March 1st. http://www.amazon.com/Ashes-Pompeii-P...

Sam.. love your babylon series so much. Im devouring them like a wino devours a bottle of cheap wine. One suggestion only.. how about a map in the front of the books? I would really like to be able to follow along with the characters as they travel. Cant tell you how much I am really enjoying these books.. thank you so much!
Sam Sisavath Hi Sheryl!

No plans for a map, though I can see how it might be beneficial given all the traveling everyone does. I will have to look into that for future editions. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sam, SO excited....just pre-ordered Hunter Prey, but I have to admit, I am still sitting on pins and needles waiting for Ashes. I know all fans are having Babylon withdrawal, but please, is there ANY hope for an early release? Mary
Sam Sisavath Hi Mary, thanks for pre-ordering! I hope you enjoy Hunter/Prey. As for Ashes, it looks like an early March release. We could push it, yes, but the quality would suffer, and I think you guys deserve the best product possible.

When is the next Lemuria book coming out? I have read all the Babylon ones and 2 of the Lemuria series.
Sam Sisavath Hi Brenda,

Thanks for reading! Book #5 should be out earl 2015. February-ish, possibly March-ish.

Hi, Sam, Just finishing up book 4 of the Purge series. I presume you have other works underway? I have truly enjoyed the Purge/Lemuria series and hope more is coming but I will read anything you write. I have particularly enjoyed the banter between Will and Danny. Good work!
Sam Sisavath Thanks Bill! I hope to have more stuff out before the year's over.

Sam, I dont need to ask a question I just wanted to tell you how awesome the Babylon series is. I cannt express that enough!! My entire family (I see my mom has already left a comment down below, her name is also Mary) is obsessed with this series. I would not even consider myself a reader really, yet I could not put these books down. October cannot come fast enough. I am already missing Will and Danny!
Sam Sisavath Thanks Mary! Glad you guys are liking the books!

Sam, My whole family is anxiously waiting for the fourth book in the Purge of Babylon series!!!! Please tell us it will be out soon.
Sam Sisavath Hi Mary, thanks for reading! Book #4 will be out in October. Until then, I have a two-part/two-book stand-alone storyline that leads into Book #4 scheduled for the next two months, so stay tuned!
