Sheryl Nantus Hi Toni!

Unfortunately, the original publisher, Samhain, went under a year ago - BUT I recently reissued the entire Blaze trilogy into a single book a few months ago!

You can find it here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

and get the entire trilogy in one big fat book for the cost of one!

I hope you consider buying it!

And thank YOU for writing!
Sheryl Nantus This one's a toughie - I love Lord of the Rings and Dragonriders of Pern, but I don't know if I'd want to land in the middle of all that trouble! But I'd love to visit the future New York of the In Death series by J.D. Robb and be able to follow Eve Dallas around as she solves crimes... and stare at Roarke all I want! :D
Sheryl Nantus Why, YES! Hard Run, the sequel to Hard Play, will be out at the end of August!

If you'd like to join my newsletter, I'll keep you up to date on all the Delta Force Brotherhood books! There's going to be a cover reveal *very* soon for Hard Run and lots of interesting goodies!

The sign-up link is here at http://eepurl.com/45txT - but don't worry! I'll be putting out news on FB and Twitter as we get closer to release - thanks for asking!
Sheryl Nantus The biggest mystery, for me, is how the heck some guy started reading my fanfiction and then wrote me a fan letter and then, even after discovering what I was like, continued to woo and court me until we got married! ;)
Sheryl Nantus I have to admit an everlasting love for Eve and Roarke, from J.D. Robb's "In Death" series! Ever since I picked up the first book years ago I've been drawn to them and I'm happy to say my husband's a big fan as well!

I love them because they're so good together, each filling in what the other needs and the fact that they're messed-up, flawed people who found each other and true love. (Or Twu Luv as I call it in my mind!) It reinforces my belief that you don't have to be perfect and that someone who loves you, that REALLY loves you will take you as you are, imperfections and all, and help you when you need it - not try to change you to what he or she thinks you should be.

Eve and Roarke - there's my favorite fictional couple!
Sheryl Nantus Hi Sidney!

There's a second book in the series, "In the Void" and a free short story, "Interlude" but unfortunately there's no others set up for publication at this point. (But never say never!)

I'm glad you enjoyed reading "In the Black" and hope you'll look over some of my other work - I've got two books coming out in September from St. Martin's Press/Swerve!

Thanks for asking and keep on reading!!!

Sheryl Nantus Sit. Sit. Sit. WRITE. SOMETHING. Drink tea.

Sheryl Nantus I get to tell stories for a living. Or lies. I always get those mixed up...
Sheryl Nantus Sit. Write. Edit. Submit.

Repeat above.
Sheryl Nantus Right now I'm finishing up "In the Void", the sequel to "In the Black"! This is Sean's story and if you liked ITB you'll love seeing Sean in his own novel!
Sheryl Nantus I don't get inspired - I write because if I don't I feel almost physically ill. It might not be anything epic, it might be a mess of words that I'll only be able to save a few sentences from but I HAVE to write every day.

Sheryl Nantus I got the idea for "In the Black" from a variety of sources - but primarily from "Firefly"! I loved Inara, a strong woman doing exactly what she wanted to do and took the idea of a courtesan and extrapolated it into the Guild and the Bonnie Belle... and of course every ship needs a captain so Sam Keller came on board and Marshal Daniel LeClair had to visit so...

I get my ideas from the strangest places and love when it happens!
