Hi Megan. Yes, book #9 is in the works, but due to the massive worldbuilding details needed as I set up the next series, I have to write ahead in a four books to make sure that level will continue. I hope you all find it worth the wait!

Just went up for pre-order and will be live on May 20th :D

Hi :) I'm doing well and keeping busy. Hope you're well, too? Vargr 8 will be out this spring. I'm almost done with it, and then it's up to the tight schedule of the editorial team to see if it'll be March 20th or April 20th.
Chronicles 9 is a bit out as the entire series is being relaunched with new edits and a bit of changes (not much!). But I have to focus on the Cubi and Vargr world at the moment as there are 6 books in various WIP states at the moment, and I have to write all of them at the same time due to worldbuilding details. It's a massive puzzle! After that, I'll go back to focus on Chronicles because...that's now an equally massive puzzle.
If you follow me on Ream (that's free), you'll get updates far more often.

They've been updated and hints of foreshadowing have been strengthened. That's about it. Oh, and awesome covers. LOL But no, you don't have to buy the new ones. Nothing HUGE changed. If you reviewed the first editions, I'd wildly appreciate a review on Amazon because all reviews disappeared when the rights were reverted back to me. If you like the series, please, help revive it by reviewing and sharing it.

I'm sad to say I don't know. I'm working on it now, but as that series is meeting its end, I have to write and thoroughly outline the next books to make sure the worldbuilding doesn't slip up details.

Hi :D 3 months. The plan is 3 months between the books.
Meraki P. Lyhne
The release date has been postponed, which I just wrote a newsletter about. In essence, I've written myself into a corner with the massive worldbuilding of the World of Vidundr. As I'm writing the last of Vargr and worldbuilding the continuation series (not Aaron), a timeline in the Aaron series became muddied. I didn't want to merely publish book #1 and wait maybe a year for #2. As a reader, I'd hate that, so I won't do it to my readers.

Thank you! I'm currently writing book 7, but it's in a bigger world, and there'll be more Vargr in another timeline in another series. The Cubi (Beauty series) was the first introduction to a very different side of the same world, and they merge as the world grows.
Meraki P. Lyhne
Yes. Like Cubi (and all other series I write) it'll be a continuous storyline. Pack Alpha Steffen will get a POV, too, though.
Meraki P. Lyhne
Yes. Awakening Ember, Vargr #2, will be released September 20th. There'll be 4 months between the books, so #3 will be released January 20th, 2022.

Every day at three thirty p.m. his daughter would call him. Every day, without fail, since the day he'd killed her.
Meraki P. Lyhne
Ha ha :) I hope personal stuff will lay off soon so I can focus on more books, too.

The third and final book in the Ore 5 series should be the next one out. It's with the editor now, and we're aiming for the beginning of May. After that, something new, a stand-alone, by my dark side. Then Cubi #6. That's the order we're working on, and we're working on getting them out fast.´, since personal stuff has held me up for a while.
Meraki P. Lyhne
Hi! There's definitely going to be a book 5. In fact, it just skipped off to the proofreader yesterday, so it looks like it's going to be an early release.
Meraki P. Lyhne
I'm happy you like them! And yes, more books are coming. #4 (Fountain of Beauty) is in the works. You can follow the WIP progress on my website. Also, it'll be announced in my newsletters and in the Cubi Group on Facebook (which is secret because hot stuff and FB policies don't always mix). Find me, and I'll add you.
Meraki P. Lyhne
Thank you so much :) Yes, more are underway. Cubi #3 is in edits, and Cubi #4 is being written. Chronicles #5 is with the proofreader, and Chronicles #6 is ready for edits. Chronicles #7 is in plotting mode.

I hope it will be out December. I'm finishing up the beta's edits now and will be sending it off to the editor this week.
Meraki P. Lyhne
I'm very happy you like it, thank you :) I'm finishing up edits these days and it will go to editor this week. I'm hoping to be able to release in December.
