Hi Melissa! I'm a YA librarian in Massachusetts and I loveee your Alienated series :D I read that Hyperion is waiting to see how well "Invaded" does before deciding on a third book, but I was wondering if you would consider continuing the series by self-publishing ebooks through Amazon if they decide not to move forward with more books?

Edited to add: I'm writing the third book now! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
That's an excellent question, and one I've been asked several times. (In fact, I should probably add it to the FAQ page on my website.) The answer is "maybe." My writing time is limited, and contracted projects always take first priority--in part because I've signed my name to a legal document, and also because publisher advances are how I'm able to feed my children. :)
If you'd like to see more of Aelyx and Cara, the best thing to do is help spread awareness of the series. Believe it or not, most titles exist in a vacuum unless people talk about them. Word-of-mouth advertising sells more books than anything else, and social media can project that message even farther! So a big THANK YOU if you've recommended the series to friends in person and online, or if you've left reviews on retail sites like Amazon and B&N. Those are helpful, too!
Fingers crossed for a third installment!

Hi Melissa, I loved the book synopsis and trying (desperately) to get a kindle version of Starflight but its not available on Amazon's India website. Any idea if there is any way I can buy it? I guess I should be asking Amazon India this question, but just throwing it in here. Apologies if it is frivolous.
