Hi! Are you considering ever writing another novel/novella/short story about Gideon, Daegan and Anwyn? Just finished Taken by a Vampire and got really curious how the three of them would handle Gideon reaching the 300 year mark. Ps. I really love your books, the Knights of the Board Room got me back to reading after a long spell of not enjoying anything I read.

Demas, from the wording of your note, I assume you've read the two freebie vignettes about them, One-on-One and The Bet? I'll include the two BookFunnel links below for those who haven't (or you, if you haven't revisited them in awhile). To answer your question, while Daegan, Anwyn and Gideon have made key appearances in subsequent books (including the most recent one, Vampire Master), I don't have any plans to do another full novel about them at this time. I always have vignette ideas rolling around in my head about many of my characters, including them, so it is possible I'll do another freebie novella/short about them in the future.
I'm not sure I'd ever have the fortitude to do one about Gideon hitting his 300 year mark, though, because it's always been pretty clear in my head that Gideon does not want to be turned. He could never bring himself to do an annual kill. Even if he said he could, I think Anwyn or Daegan, knowing his heart so well, would know that would destroy him. That said, if something happened to Daegan, and the only one left to help/protect Anwyn was Gideon, he might rethink it from that standpoint...
The other question is whether the Council would ever approve making their most renowned human vampire hunter into a vampire, lol. Regardless, I've always said I "never say never," because there's no telling where the muse will take me in the future. I hope that helps somewhat, even if it's kind of a nebulous answer (grin). Let me know if you have any other questions.
Oh, and there are also two character interviews I did for Gideon and Daegan, respectively. You can find those under the Character Interview list on my website, under the More menu item. Here's the direct link - https://storywitch.com/series-intervi.... Also, here are those BookFunnel links:

Joey W. Hill:
Hi Joey. I'm asking this question of several writers, some friends, some strangers... Do you consider your writing process a "spiritual" practice? If yes, what makes it so? If no, why not? What, in your mind, either qualifies or disqualifies writing as a spiritual practice? Please feel free to either share concrete personal views on this, or approach it as a concept apart from you. Or both. Thanks.
