Tenebrism asked Josh Lanyon:

Hello dear Josh Lanyon!:) Do you think any of your couples in any of your book ended up adopting a child? Years after the events of the books? As a former nanny, I really dislike children in fiction (never realistic ahah), but I 'm always curious if some couples do end up having kids down the line.:) Anyway, thank you very much for your beautiful stories!:D

Josh Lanyon Maybe because I don't have kids myself (I do have two grown-up step children and they are wonderful, but I can't take any credit for that), I create characters who are unlikely to have children. Or maybe one of the pair might want children (Jake), but the other does not see himself in a parental role (Adrien).

That said, I'm a devoted aunt and if I'd had to take on rearing my nieces and nephews, I wouldn't have hesitated--frankly, I would do anything for any one of those hooliga--er, darlings. ;-D So that is one scenario where one of my characters might end up with a child.

In fact, I do have an idea for a trilogy that I hope to write within the next couple of years--and one of the main characters has guardianship of a nephew. We'll see if that ever comes to pass.

Of my series characters... Can you imagine Kit as a parent? LOL. I think Adrien and Jake will take on semi-parental roles in the life of Natalie's child. Sam and Jason? No. Cosmo... Hmmm. He fully expects to have a child and a child is expected of him. So that could be interesting. Will and Taylor? No way. Devoted uncles. Ellery and Jack... Now that might be a possibility? I'm not sure yet. Tucker and Elliot are a solid no.
