Hey David, I just finished the 6 Shadowdance books, and as much as I loved them, the last book... I must say frustrated me a little bit haha. But I was wondering what series would shed some light on and lift me off of the cliff you left me hanging on at the end of Dance of Chaos (the epilogue)? Thank you for your time, look forward to reading more greatness.

This answer contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[Okay, so obvious spoilers in this answer, but I'll do what I can to keep it still somewhat vague.
Haern, Tarlak, Delysia, Deathmask, and a lot of the others show up in books 2 and 3 of the Half-Orcs Series (where generally I first introduced them before pulling them into the chronologically earlier Shadowdance books). If you're curious what all goes on with them, that's where you'd find it.
Now if you're talking about Alyssa's child: that will also eventually be re-introduced into the Half-Orcs, but it's gonna be a bit. I expect very early next year I'll start writing the eighth Half-Orcs book. Said Child will be introduced in the *ninth* Half-Orcs book, at about sixteen years old or so, meaning it'll probably take me another year before getting to that one.
Like I said in the note at the end, I was leaving the door open to that potential storyline, and I do think it'll be a lot of fun when I finally get to it, but there's a current storyline in the Half-Orcs I kinda need to finish up in King of the Fallen before I can move on to it. (hide spoiler)]

I don’t know if anyone has asked this or not, but what series of your books tie into each other? I gleaned from your wiki that breaking world was a prequel to shadowdance, though I don’t know how true that is seeing how I’ve only just started book one of BW. Also, I love the depth you put into every character, no matter how small the part! Keep it up!
