I absolutely adored BURIED HEART as it is a wrenching, nuanced exploration of interracial conflict (and Jes/Kal *swoons*)! Will you continue writing YA after the final Court of Fives novella? Thank you! <3
Kate Elliott
Thank you SO MUCH. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And I’m thrilled you loved the Jes/Kal relationship: I wanted to write a love story in which the obstacles weren’t their feelings or misunderstandings but the world around them and the serious barriers they have to overcome.
I do hope to continue writing YA. While I did write a trilogy and the two companion novellas for Court of Fives, I do have one more novella I would like to write set in the world, the story of what happens to Talon (since her story is left hanging).
As for other YA projects, I am slowly developing the world and characters and plot for a duology that is a portal fantasy and a mother/daughter story. I don’t know when I will write the first draft as I have other commitments currently, specifically my genderbent Alexander the Great as space opera trilogy for Tor Books (2019) as well as the rest of the Black Wolves epic fantasy trilogy.

I see seven years ago you mentioned the possibility of another Jaran novel. Like the original question asker Alexa, I would love for more. I love the series and have read it multiple times but feel that there's so much more to come. I know it's been a long while since you last released a Jaran novel. Is there any hope of another? Should those of us who are fans give up?
