Have a question about Shattered? Lost? Lingering ones about Hidden? Ask away. Some, if it would spoil the rest of the series, I may not be able to answer, but I will do my best. Or … just answer the basic question – what’s your favorite part of the series and why.

Here’s my answer

Hidden – potential SPOILER – the memory scene in the cabin.

Lost – Portal world. All of it. Especially Nate’s little cabin. Goodness, I think I have a thing for cabins.

Shattered. potential SPOILER – One word … CIGAR!!!!!! why? bc she’s   nuts and I love crazy people 🙂

What’s yours?

But, not always do the author’s have me glued to the book. I’m SO EXCITED FOR BOOK 4!!! I can’t even begin to describe how I feel. I’M DYING HERE!!!!!! THANK YOU for creating such books!!! Can’t wait for BOOK 4 and many more books to come 🙂 <3 M. LATHAN

I was nearly uncontrollably excited when I read the release date for book 4 is February 14! I went into ibooks to preorder it but it’s not there! Please tell me it will be available there on that day!

    I posted here a while ago, but I can’t remember under what name. Am re-reading the first three books before I get to the last, which I haven’t read yet. You should be tremendously proud of yourself for the work you’ve done. The characters and relationships are so complex and realistic and it makes for really engrossing reading. You took a “perfect” boy and a perfect relationship and made them human, which was gutsy and true to life. You made the savior of the world a person with a temper and shades of gray in her morality, even as you show her best aspect – her fierce love for her daughter – to wonderful effect. And you created a heroine who doesn’t always make good decisions, even as she tries to do the right thing. I’d say your educational background has really paid off in all the layers you bring to your work. Brava and best of luck to you!

        I’ve been meaning to ask – do you pronounce your last name with the accent on the first or second syllable? I want to be sure I’m saying it correctly when I recommend your books to people. 🙂

    Hey there! I just recently purchased and can’t wait to start reading it! I just love Chris and Nate and need to know that they’re going to be okay! <3

    My question for you, is what advice would you give to aspiring authors who's dreams are to write books just as you have? What processes did you go through to get to where you are now with your books? 🙂

      Hi Rebecca! Thanks for stopping by. My advice is to start by writing anything that comes to your mind. That will get you used to building stories and getting your ideas out of your head and on to the page. That was my first step. I just started writing (my stories and poems sucked at first). After I wrote a few things, I finally felt comfortable with putting my work out. When you get to that point, research the method of publishing that works best for you. That means either doing it directly on Amazon and Barnes and Noble yourself or pitching it to a major publishing company. Best of luck, and remember to write, write, write. It sounds simple and a little corny, but that is what makes you a writer 🙂 Best of luck.

    Hi! First and foremost, you are incredibly talented with words! Your ability to start with individual words and transform them into phenomenal worlds, amazing characters, that are not only relatable, and endearing, but also incredibly strong despite their vulnerabilities is definitely awe inspiring! Your true talent astounds me. You are most definitely a “Wizard with words!” . I have read all of your books to date and look forward to reading your future work as well! Thank you sincerely, for sharing your fantastic gift with readers such as myself. I am truly honored!
