Thanks for reading Crushed Dominion! So happy you enjoyed it because I had a ton of fun writing that story. The Shattered Galaxies gang is working on season 2 right now, so I'll definitely be revisiting Sevori. Likely with Piper. I'll have more info about it towards fall!

Hey there! At this time, the Dor Nye universe is completed, so I don't have any plans for another wolvenk book. If that changes, I'll be sure to post about it! <3

Hey Anita, yes I'm okay. I was stuck in the cave working on Val'Koy, Jruviin, and Dania's story. They took for-ev-vurrr to write. I'll be releasing it after edits. Thanks for reaching out! *heartheart*

Hey Maxine, thanks for rereading! I do plan on releasing Prodigal Son. It's currently in edits! Just a couple more weeks and the edits should be finalized. I'll be sure to announce when it goes live. :D

Hey Jessie! Thank you! <3 I mostly use MS Word to work in, and this huuuge whiteboard to create a timeline of events. I like to use Google Keep on my phone for notes when I'm out and about or in bed (because the good stuff always happens when I'm just about to fall asleep). Scrivener is a really cool program (tried it a while back), but I'm just enough of a "pantser" that having my whiteboard is all the organization I can handle, lol. And sometimes it helps to pace around the room, glaring at the thing, trying to figure out where I can shift stuff around. (Hey, exercise. Sort of. Okay, not really. ;D)

She'll be offering it on Amazon Kindle Unlimited & paperback :D

Hey there! I listened to a voice sample from Maxine Mitchell after reading your question (still searching for Joe). She has a nice reading voice! I'm gonna add her to my list of narrators to consider. It's growing. :O Thanks for the suggestion, and reading my books! <3

Hey Jeanette! Thank you! I think this would be a really cool thing to do, and I'd really love to put all the books in audio format. It's my long term goal, for sure! Finding the right voices for every book though, that's gonna be the hard part. So many narrators and reading samples to listen to! But yes, I'm hoping in the next year I'll be able to pinpoint the perfect voice, and move forward with Audible. :D

Hey there Becky. I'm glad you asked! It just so happens that I'm working on another Melier novel. It's in the very, very early stages, but watch out for a blog post. A little teaser will be tucked inside! ;)

Hey Karen! I actually never thought about getting the books into audio format. I kind of chuckle at the idea of some brave soul that would be able to read the more explicit parts of the books aloud. I wonder if they could do that with a straight face. I certainly couldn't! I'd giggle like an idiot. I'll definitely check into it though, and thanks for bringing it to my attention! :D

Hi Hannah! I've been working on the final touches for The Yarian over the weekend, and getting it ready for Amazon! Cutting it so close to the October release date, I know. Fear not, I've got my Aphrodite tea, and music, to push me that last mile to the finish line. :D
Poppy Rhys
Hey there Debra! Thank you! I currently have no projected date on the third book for the "Women of Dor Nye" series at this time. It will definitely take me a few months, at least, but I will announce it here on Goodreads whenever it's finished and ready for Amazon.

Hi Robyn! I'm so excited to hear that! To answer your question, yes, I do have a future project in the works for Gi'Ren, but it's at the bare bones right now. Simply an outline, as I don't plan to tell his story in book three. Val'Koy is a bit of a mystery, as his experiences in book two that were lightly touched upon morphed the way I viewed him. Needless to say, his story is still being processed in my ever rambling mind! ;) I can't give away too much, but in case you're wondering who, or what, is going to be in book three... I'm introducing a new heroine! Human, and from Dor Nye, of course. Everything is set within the same universe, and the new species to play the hero (or heroes?) will be unmistakably alien. I enjoy writing the freaky, strange, sometimes gross, and challenging makeup of an alien hero, so be prepared for weirdness! :D Currently no time frame on when that book will release, but when it's finished, I'll definitely announce it.

Hi Alicia! The second book will be available early January 2016. =D

Hi Danielle! Very excited you loved The Melier! It's "morphing" into a series. I say that because when I started writing The Melier, I really didn't have any plans to write anything else. Just the thought of writing about anything other than Lucia and her life felt like a betrayal. How silly of me, lol, I know. But I've enjoyed "playing" in the universe Lucia is from so much that I've already laid the foundation for a third and fourth book within it. Neither book will focus on Lucia as her story will complete with "The Melier: Home World", but they will have heroines from planet Dor Nye and heroes that are truly alien in appearance, culture, language, etc. All future books within this universe will often have some nuggets of reference to main characters from previous stories, if that makes any sense? If Book 4 turns out to be what I'm hoping, you'll get a glimpse of Lucia in the future, even though it won't focus on her specifically. But, I'm hopping too far into the future with this response! Lol! I hope this has answered your question. :D
