I love all of your books! After the Wolves Next Door series comes out are you going to write another Gamer Girls book? What about the Mimics series? Are you going to write any more in the Iliri world?

Auryn Hadley There will be seven total Gamer Girls books to finish out the series. For the Win will be released on November 27th and Game Over will be released on December 11th. They are both available for preorder now.

The Mimics series has six books and will begin releasing again in Spring 2021.

The Iliri series is complete and while I do not have any plans to continue their story, I won't rule out a the option of writing a few books that will be based in the same universe. These would not be released any sooner than 2023, if even that soon.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Auryn Hadley My ideas come from the world around me. They say to write what you know. I would like to add, "imagine what you don't" to that.

Watching a man buy his daughter a meal in a fancy restaurant, seeing a couple kiss in the park, listening to an angry customer in a story can all become the spark for a new universe. From kings who make their daughter the heir to the throne of Norihame, a girl fighting against cancer, or an alien species of predators fighting for their freedom, it doesn't take much to get my mind lost in "Elsewhere".

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Auryn Hadley Knowing that somewhere, out there in the real world, my story could be the thing that shows someone it's ok to be themselves.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Auryn Hadley For me, writer's block is a case of not knowing what to work on because I have too much to do. The whole problem of "where do I start?". To deal with this, I plan out my release, and focus on the next book the public will see. If my heart is pulled in another direction, then I know that's what I should be doing, instead.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Auryn Hadley Learn to take criticism. The fastest way to get better, is to realize that your book is not a reflection of YOU as a person. It's art. It's not perfect... but it could be if you stop trying to protect it.

How do you get inspired to write?

Auryn Hadley It was an accident. I have always loved reading, and while I blogged and wrote professionally for a few businesses, I had never thought of writing for pleasure. In the middle of a crippling moment of depression, I escaped into a fantasy world. My first novel was completed in a month (and horrid!) but I didn't stop, didn't look back, and refuse to stop learning.
