This past month has been a little crazy! Not that that's a bad thing!
Now, onto the topic: A lot of people have been asking me when the third book comes out and if it's the last one, or many just assume that it is. I guess given the prevalence of trilogies these days, I can't really blame them. But don't fear! I won't beat a dead horse and drag it through the mud. I do have the ending in mind, it will just take me longer than three books to tell the story I want to tell.
I just started working on the third book, so it might be a little bit of a wait before it is released.
In the meantime, here is a cute picture of my cat hogging my purse to help hold you over!
I love your books! Couldn't put them down. Very excited for the ones that follow! :-)
ReplyDeletei love the books, keep up thegood work i love both farron and claire
ReplyDeleteI just finished the first book and look forward to the next one. I was a little disappointed the first one had to end. I didn't even make it to the end of my coffee break!!! lol
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that! I love a good trilogy, but a series is even better. These were wonderful books, and I can hardly wait for the next installment
ReplyDeleteThanks! It seems like every book comes in a trilogy these days, you know? Just wanted to clear things up!

It has been a long time since I couldn't put a book down because I was frustrated at the illogical characters, rushed and unconnected story-line, or many other issues...I spent two days reading the first and second book and look very forward to reading the next. Hopefully true love will prevail...thank you for your creativity.
ReplyDeleteI just read the whole book in one day I couldn't put it down . Thank you for writing such amazing books ! Your a brilliant writer
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you guys so much! Thanks for reading my books!
ReplyDelete~Casey
The best books I've read in a really long time. Thank you and please keep them coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Cursed. Wow. You've got a great imagination, but even better is the fact that your style of writing grasps the reader (well, this reader anyway) and pulls them in for a full-on vicarious experience. I got the first book free as a Kindle freebie, but I'm buying your second book now and will wait with baited breath for all the rest of the series.
ReplyDeleteUnlike ppl asking if it is a trilogy, I ask that you have this last as long as possible - I can see so much in terms of character development, and obviously new characters are going to appear somewhere down the line, but the way you tell about the characters, the surroundings, the imagery, all from Claire's POV is fascinating, to say the least.
Just to give you an idea, the last author whose works I delved into and got sucked into like this is Sara Douglass, starting with the Wayfarer Redemption, and following that series to its conclusion, and then her Troy Game series after that.
I'm off now to read Awakened - probably be back in a couple of days to add more comments.
Wow, thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteNKY, you're making me blush! I don't think I am worthy of such praise! I have heard of Wafarer Redemption before, just never got around to reading it, I'll have to check it out though.
Thank you so much for reading my books and for your kind comments!

I read awakened in the space of two nights, and I'm still loving the stories. I think that one of the reasons I like your stories is that they are not always predictable - you've got good plot twists that I would never expect in most modern fantasy books, and it keeps me engrossed to the point of not being able to put your books down.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you and your editor again - I've since read another 2 books and am horrified at the editing (or lack thereof) in many books I get for my Kindle.
And believe me - you're every bit worthy of the praise.
Thank you again! I'll be sure to pass the praise on to my editor and not whip her so hard next book!

Awesome! So glad I decided to purchase Cursed and Awakened. I'm already losing it knowing I have to wait for the third book to be written. :) I'm hoping this year, which might be pushing it, but I'm dying to read the next adventure.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading! I hope the wait won't be too torturous!

Hi Casey, Just wanted to check in & see how book 3 is going?? Getting close???? I decided to reread 1 & 2 again, in the hopes that 3 will be ready for my enjoyment by the time I finish!!! =)) Falling in love with Farron again, and still hoping Aeron will turn out to be a really good elf! =)))
DeleteHello! It's going, but it might be a bit of a wait still. Sorry! I'm a slow writer! Hopefully it will be worth your wait though! I'm glad you like my books well enough to read through them again!
ReplyDelete~Casey
Okee dokee then! You just take your time & get it right!! I'm possitive it will be worth it!! =)) It's funny how I was thinking just yesterday that I seldom EVER read a book more than once ~ but these, I could read over & over & over!! Yes, I love them that much!! =)) You've done a great job & should be very proud! xoxo
DeleteYour an inspiration! The books were both well written and imaginative! I was captivated by your characters.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to mention that I LOVE your pinterest inspiration board. Your pins gave me in site on how beautiful the realm actually was. They helped me visualize what you were creating in your mind then on to paper. Thank you for sharing your talents and your story.

Thank you so much Mandi! I'm glad you liked my books and Pinterest board! I'm glad I decided to start it!
DeleteThanks for reading!

Hi :) I just recently found your books and read them and now I can't wait for the third one!! When can we expect it out? Lol, very much looking forward to Claire and Farrons adventure!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paulette! The third book won't be out until next year. I'm hoping for an early/ mid 2014 release, bt I still don't have anything set in stone quite yet. Thanks for reading!

In all the books that I have read I have never had a character romance captivate and enrage me so much. I love how you have dangled the relationship between Claire and Farron out to the reader only to snatch it right back. I have never been more frustrated, angry and fascinated from a story all at one time. Please keep the books coming and soon. I need to see Claire and Farron have as close to a happy ending as possible because they definitely deserve it after the ringer you've put them thru so far and im sure are going to continue. Your story line and plot are amazing. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jennifer! Sorry for any emotional stress I may have caused you! Haha, that's what makes it fun, right? Let's just say they're not out of the woods yet, and may not be for a while!
DeleteThanks for reading!
~Casey
How old you are and how did this gift of writing become developed in you? Needless to say I am very impressed by your plot, the twists, and the character development. The elves are such an interesting race, and I love the pull between Claire, Farron, and the others. I naturally wish for them to be together, but I like that you keep kind of tantalizing the reader with their relationship. So looking forward to the next book. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteHello Kimberly!
DeleteTo answer your question, I am at the ripe old age of 25 at the moment! Haha, as for the writing, that's a little harder to explain. Took me a lot of practice, I suppose. And a good editor! Thank you for your kind comments and insights! And thanks for reading!
Glad you enjoyed my books!
~Casey
You are such a tease. I have been dying for the third book to come out. I bought entangled but can't read it yet cause my husband is now addicted to the series even though I have spent a long time hearing him complain about my addiction to it. Once he started reading he couldn't stop. Soooo please please get the third book out so me and my husband don't kill each other in anticipation lol.
ReplyDeleteHello!
DeleteHaha, I feel so bad for taking so long. But it's going! Slowly, but it is. I'm sorry to both you and your husband! I didn't mean to cause any conflict! Haha. I'll try my best to get the third book out in a timely manor so you and your husband can have peace.
Thanks for reading!
~Casey
I just finished with the first two books in the series and as do many before me, an in great anticipation for the third!! Any update on the release date yet??? I hope your cursed magic series goes viral! There is nothing what like it! Good luck in continuing the awesome story. FYI, I love how sexy you have made Farron (my dream elf, lol)!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jaime! Glad you enjoyed him... er, I mean my books!

I ravaged your books in two days time! Any ideas for a release on number four?

ReplyDeleteI have been an avid book reader from the time I could read. OK let's face it I've always been addicted/obsessed! But until I stumbled upon cursed magic I hadn't lived or really loved reading. You swept me in and off my feet in the magical way that you spin a tale. Every twist and turn and unexpected laugh just kept me wanting more. I ate up every word like it was catnip. I see your up for a fourth installment soon. But I know I'm not the only one when I say that your books are positively fantastic. And we'd love as many as you can give us. You caught us hook, line, and sinker. I know we'll love them all. I know it's your project and it's your baby but you don't have to feel rushed to wrap up if you're not ready. :) but even if you make 4 or 44 I'll still read everyone and be happy and awed. You are truly gifted. I'm genuinely blown away and even though I didn't feel it to be possible prior to reading your books, I feel better after reading them. You're an absolutely magnificent writer and I just wanted you to know.

ReplyDeleteWow, thank you for such a kind compliment! I'm always glad to hear when people like my work and am glad to bring some entertainment to your life! I am working on book 4, even if there are delays, but it's coming. Don't know when it will be done though.
DeleteThanks for reading and for the kind words!
