No, for now, I do not plan to write any additional book in the Xian Warriors. Rogue was the conclusion of the saga. I am working on graphic novel version of the series. But it's just going to be the existing book retold in a comic book format. In the future, I could consider a spin off series with their children as young adults, but there are no real plans for that. It's just a far-off possibility.

Hi! Sorry for only seeing this question now! I actually recently released the book between Siona and Zerien. It is called Imperial Fate. The next book in the series will be Gavin (Anton's son) and Zhara (Amalia's daughter). Cheers!

Yes, I plan on writing at least a third book in the Mist series. I've had its book cover for over a year already ahah. I just have other books to write first. But yes, there will be another book. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the first book as well as my PMA series! :D

Eek sorry for not noticing this question before now. Currently, I'm not planning on writing additional books in the Xian Warriors. However, I am getting Doom's book turned into a graphic novel which I hope to release by the end of the year or early next year.
I left the ending of the series open enough that I could start a new story arc later, but IF (and that's a big if) I ever do that, it would likely be with their children as young adults. But for now, I want to focus on finishing my Veredian Chronicles series as well as getting back to my Blood Maidens of Karthia trilogy.

Yes, you should continue with I Married Wonjin after I Married a Minotaur since it is a companion novella with the events happening in parallel but from Wonjin and Lara's POV.
I Married A Merman is 100% standalone, so it can be read in any order. However, I would suggest reading my novella "Alien Awakening" before I Married a Merman as it was the inspiration for the Merman species.
As far as Dakas' and Luana's child you will learn more about it in the Minotaur :)

I Married A Lizardman is the only book in that series where the heroine is a virgin. You can safely read my books Claiming Thalia, Bluebeard's Curse, The Hunchback, and the first three books of my Veredian Chronicles (Escaping Fate, Blind Fate, and Raising Amalia). But you won't be able to continue that series which has an major overarching story as the other heroines aren't virgins.
In my Xian Warriors series, it is the heroes who are all virgins (except Legion). The heroines of book 5 (Chaos), book 7 (Reaper) and book 11 (Rogue) are also virgins but you need to read all the books in order or you will get lost in the overarching story.

I do not write any series named the Wrath of Abel. Are you referring to Simon Harrak's books maybe?

Sorry for the late response. I never got this notice. To answer your question, no. For the time being, I do not plan on writing about a human male going to the PMA to be matched. The majority of my readers want a human heroine so that they can more easily identify with her and an exotic alien that they can fall in love with. So while I won't say never, it's not really something I'm considering right now.
Regine Abel
At the current moment, I am not planning for a boxed set for the PMA series. Maybe at some point in the future.

Hi Annette, and thank you for that suggestion!
I leave the illustrations at the end because some of them contain major spoilers, especially in books like Varnog (Xian Warriors 6), The Hunchback, Bluebeard's Curse, etc. Most of my readers by now know that I have illustrations at the end of my books. Adding them as a note in the Prologue would break the flow of the story, and some people will automatically jump to the end to go check lol. Mind you, a lot of my readers already do it lol
However, I could consider adding a note right where it says THE END reminding them not to miss the illustrations in the eBook version.

Ugh, that's a tough one! A mom shouldn't have a favorite child lol. I can't really pick just one in that series as there are 2 that I'm really in love with, and it would be I Married a Naga and I Married A Minotaur.

Hi Kristina,
I actually did a great deal of research on the hymen before writing this. A handful of people like you have raised major concerns about what they read without stating what the feel is problematic. So I'm genuinely curious as to what what specifically you find "entirely wrong" and harmful about this.
Hymens come in different shapes and the amount of bleeding (if any) can very greatly depending on how much hymenal tissue a woman has. While I did slightly exaggerate her bleeding for that scene to work (and like you said IT IS a work of fiction), it wasn't all that much. TMI incoming, I personally bled like a pig my first time lol.
Also, keep in mind this isn't a study of human biology. So I didn't want to go into paragraphs and paragraphs on how the female human works, and the fact that there are a million ways a woman's hymen can breach or the fact that some women can have sex without breaching it. I simply wanted to convey how an alien might react to physiological differences. This is the explanation given by a woman without medical training who grew up in a fairly bigoted religious colony.
That said, once again, if you have specific things you believe should be addressed, I would sincerely love to hear about it either here or you can send me a private message :)
Thanks for taking the time to sharing your thoughts with me <3

I actually have more virgin heroes than virgin heroines lol.
But if you only read virgin heroines, then these are my books that would work for you:
I Married A Lizardman
The Hunchback
Claiming Thalia
Escaping Fate - Veredian Chronicles 1 (note that this book is MFM)
Blind Fate - Veredian Chronicles 2
Raising Amalia - Veredian Chronicles 3
Cheers!

Yes, Kayog would have matched males with other males when applicable. While the books I've written always depict a human woman being paired with a primitive alien male, the PMA actually matches all genders and all species together. So Kayog has matched two aliens together, in all possible pairings (MM, FF, MF, and even MMF, MFM, and FFM). Those are just not the books I write.
In I Married A Merman, Echo's employees and best friends are a MM couple.

Hi Margaret,
I'm so happy you've been enjoying my PMA series!
Regarding your question, no, there are no plans for a book dedicated to Kayog. I believe I have mentioned in one of the books that he's already married. Finding his own perfect match had been his number one mission when he started this agency. I do plan on showing him with his wife in a future book though.
Cheers!

Hi Carrie,
Sorry for not noticing this question sooner. Right now, there are no plans for a book dedicated to Kayog. He doesn't have a specific cause other than helping people find their HEA. He also believes in social justice generally and in protecting the rights and prosperity of primitive species. Not all the matchmaking he does has a greater purpose. There are plenty of couples he matches that have no social message in the story. I just happen to write about those ones.
I hope that answers your question.
Cheers!

Hi Shelita, yes the Braxians are getting more books. Keran's Dawn will be the next book (Ravik's oldest son). I must write that book before I can start with the story of the Titans as young adults.
Regine Abel
Hi Erin, so glad you enjoyed the book! And yes, the plan is to turn this into a series with Kayog pairing more human females with different primitive aliens facing their own challenges :)
Regine Abel
Hi Shelita,
Yes, there will be more books in the Xian Warriors series. Actually, it will be renumbered in a couple of weeks for the release of Doom (Raven's parents' story and how the whole invasion on Earth went down). Doom will become the new book 1, so Bane will now be book 4. I'm currently halfway through writing Book 5, which is Chaos's story. I intend to write also a book for Wrath and one for Varnog, the Scelk leader :)
