FAQ

1. Do you use AI to plan, write, or edit your books?
Simple answer: no.
Longer answer: I love the creative process. The first seeds of a story or character always feel magical. The act of actually writing can be both extremely challenging and unfathomably rewarding. Some days I stare at my notebook or screen much more than I spend time writing, and other days my pen or fingers fly across the page. It's all part of the process. I also enjoy editing and polishing my books, trying to make them the best they can be, draft after draft. I love it all. Why would I give up any part of something I enjoy doing? Beyond that, no one else can write my stories the way I do, much less a machine. I neither asked for AI nor need it to write books, and I'll happily keep creating them without it for as long as I live.
2. How many books will be in The Grey Witch Chronicles?
I'm currently planning two arcs of five books each, bringing the series to ten total.
3. Will you ever write another Music the Gathering book?
I'm not opposed to it, but it would have to be approved by the Music the Gathering band. There's nothing planned as of this writing.
4. Are you ever going to finish The Call of the Fae series?
Yes. I'm sorry to the readers who have been waiting years to see how the story ends. I do plan to write two more books in this series.
5. Some of your books are out of print. Will they ever be re-released?
Yes! Most of them, anyway. I'm currently planning second editions of The Call of the Fae series and Rhythms of Magic, and I'll be publishing a new short story collection that will include all of my previously published short stories. Unfortunately, I don't own the IP rights to Peter Pixie, so that one will not be getting a second edition.
