Elijah David The series is open-ended, so I don't have a specific number of books in mind. I do have plans for about a dozen stories in this world/series, with more popping up all the time.
Elijah David It's probably a tie between Narnia (or the Wood Between the Worlds) -- just to explore -- and Hogwarts -- for the classes.
Elijah David Tad Williams' The Witchwood Crown
Megan Whalen Turner's Thick as Thieves
Chris Walley's The Shadow and Night
Tolkien's Beren and Luthien
Naomi Novik's Uprooted

And probably another half-dozen books I can't think of just now
Elijah David I have a memory of speaking to someone at a great uncle's funeral when I was younger, and no one seems to know who this person was. This could be a ghost story, or an international spy thriller.
Elijah David The publisher is in charge of when the book hits different platforms. Right now, they're telling me that "fans may look for other electronic versions around August of 2017."

I hope that helps! If you don't mind going through Amazon, I think Kindle has an app for iOS devices.
Elijah David I have trouble narrowing it down to just one. Some of my favorites are Westley and Buttercup, Elizabeth and Darcy, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, Beren and Luthien, Arwen and Aragorn, Sam and Rosie (basically, if Tolkien wrote them, they're in here), and Luke and Mara Jade (from the now-defunct Star Wars EU).
Elijah David Getting to share a story I've worked on with the world and have it experienced by new readers.
Elijah David Inspiration comes from everywhere: the books I read, the music I listen to, the shows and movies I watch, conversations I have (or overhear), the smallest details in a day's journey.
Elijah David The original idea for Albion Academy was "What would happen if Merlin were a student in a modern day high school?" Merlin is one of my favorite characters in Arthurian legend, so the chance to look at him more deeply was an exciting one. Of course, the final version of the story leaves the original Merlin right where legend has him -- sleeping under a hawthorn. That didn't stop me from naming his descendant after him, though.
Elijah David Don't make excuses not to write. If you want to write, write. Don't give up because you can't figure out how to make that one scene work. Keep going. You'll get there.
Elijah David The sequel to Albion Academy!
