FAQs
Do you ever do cover quotes/provide critiques?
Please direct all
requests through my agent,
Irene
Goodman.
What is the reading
order of the Hunters series?
Please see this
page. There is
also a printable list, found
here.
Will there be another
Veil book?
Yes.,
Veil of Shadows,
due out in September 2010. A third title,
Veil of Destruction, is in the works.
Do you do bookplates/autographed bookmarks?
I'm afraid not.
For the past eight years, I've dealt with issues
with carpal tunnel and other associated
repetitive stress issues. Although
I've had surgeries to correct it, I still have
trouble and it's best if I limit my handwriting
to what's absolutely necessary on a day to day
basis and the occasional booksigning. I
hope you understand.
While I don't
sign bookmarks, I do on occasion keep some
handy. It's not often, though.
If you're interested, you can email me:
When and if I have
them available, I'm happy to send readers one or
two, providing readers send a SASE envelope.
Did you really end the Mythe
series because of piracy?
The short
answer-yes.
The long answer
is more complicated. Fantasy isn't always
as easy for me to write, and it's also one of
the genres that doesn't sell as well. I
spend twice as much time creating a story, it
sells less than half as well, and it was also,
ironically, one of the books I saw pirated very,
very frequently.
I want my readers
to understand that while writing and creative
works can be considered by some an art, to me,
they are a business. They are how I make my
living. I take a great deal of pride in
it, and I love doing it-hearing from readers who
love my work means a lot to me.
But on the
flipside-seeing my work pirated day after day,
week after week, got to be very demoralizing and
after spending several months struggling over
the third book-and it was a struggle-Cray was
fighting me every step of the way.
Dealing with the
knowledge that even after all the time I'd spent
on this book, in the end, I wouldn't have much
to show for it. And while it didn't sell
well, there was a period when I saw it pirated
like mad.
This is one of
the series I saw pirated more than it sold.
While I know some readers really did love the
series, while
I personally loved it, I had to admit to myself
I was spending time on a series that just wasn't
selling well.
Writers cannot
afford to do that. I hated ending that
series. I kid you not, it hurt.
But writing is my
job. I have to treat it that way. If a
particular series isn't proving to be worth the
time I've invested in it, then I have to move
on.
You can read a bit more about this decision on
my blog. I do ask for
your understanding. This wasn't an easy
choice for me to make.
What is the reading
order of the Hunters books?
Visit the
Hunters section of my site for more info.
So many of your books are ebooks.
I don't read ebooks. What should I do?
Many of my
titles will eventually be released in print. But
there's no guarantee all of them will. You'll likely
be better off reading the ebook. Most ebook publishers
have areas for those new to ebooks and customer service will
likely answer any questions you have.
I just finished
Voyeur.
Is there another story that follows?
Yes. Kye's
story is called The Dragon's Warrior and you can read an excerpt
here.
Did you kill Declan in
I'll Be Hunting You?
I don't like
to give away spoilers. But I will tell you that the
book is a romance. It has a happy ever after.
Can you see Tori living happily ever after without Declan?
Are you going to write more
Hunters?
Yes.
Hunter's Fall, featuring Nessa, will be out
in 2011, I believe. I'm not sure who is
coming after that, but I do have a couple more
books planned.
For more info on the Hunters series,
you can also follow this link to a blog post
regarding the Hunters books. If you
have questions, please feel free to leave them
in the comments.
Will Leandra and Malachi be
together?
No.
Leandra and Malachi are too much alike and they understand
each too well. It would almost be like brother and
sister. Besides, Malachi claimed his mate already.
The minute he saw her...which happened in Jonathan and
Lori's story.
I just finished
Always
Yours. Are you going to tell Shawn's story?
I haven't
decided yet. If I do, it's probably not going to be
for a while.
I just finished
Her Wildest Dreams, and I was
wondering if there was a story about Mike and Lori?
Yes~It was released in ebook in 2006, titled
Good Girls Don't.
You can buy it in ebook
here. It
released in print in 2008, titled A Hot Man
is The Best Revenge.
Will
No Longer Mine
be released again?
Yes. It will be released 5.27.2010.
It's been expansively edited and revised.
The basic story does not change much, although
it is a cleaner, more solid read. It will
initially be released in ebook, with the print
version to come out later, probably in 2011.
I'm trying to find a copy of
Second Chances
~where can I find one?
Second Chances was actually two ebooks, combined
into one with plans to release them in print. But it
was pulled from print in late 2006. One story,
Talking
with the Dead, was expanded and revised for
Samhain Publishing. The second story,
Redemption, was also expanded and revised,
and has been released as
The Redeeming,
available as
Samhain Publishing.
I'm a
reviewer and would like to review your books.
Can I contact you?
Aside from occasional contests for ARCs on my
blog, I no longer handle sending out books for
reviews. You would need to contact my
publishers to inquire about receiving copies.
