(view spoiler)[Hii! I recently finished the Orphan Queen duology and i really enjoyed it!! I'm just curious, do you have any plans of writing an epilogue, novella(set after the events of the Mirror King) or a sequel after the Mirror King? Because even though i really <3 the Mirror King, i'm so sad that Chrysalis and James died :"( and a follow-up story will be nice (I'm still futilely hoping for their miraculous return xD) (hide spoiler)]

Hi!!
Thank you for reading the OQ books! While I do have ideas for other stories -- and even an epilogue or third book -- in the OQ universe, I don't currently have plans to write them. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't have time with my current schedule. And . . .
The ugly truth about writing spinoffs (at least for me) is that it'd have to be really worth it in a $$$ kind of way, because at the end of the day (and several times throughout), I still have to feed my cats. Sequels and spinoffs rarely do as well as the first books, at least for midlisters like myself, so as gross as it might be to say, my publisher would have to convince me that it would help not only maintain my career, but grow it, too.
But if you are into fanfiction, I am not an author who minds that being out there (even though I'm not allowed to read it)! :)

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?
