Hi Tara,
Sorry for the delayed reply, I only just saw your question!
I’m so grateful that you haven’t given up on me! I can’t blame anyone who has at this point.
Health issues continue, but as of last month I do finally seem to have found a way of writing around them.
I’m hoping to publish something this year and have a tentative hope of finally publishing Bayden’s Alpha in 2026/2027.
Wishing you an amazing 2026,
Love and hugs from Wales :)

Hi,
Sorry your question wasn’t answered sooner, I only just saw it!
There are going to be several books following on from Axel’s Pup in the Werewolves and Dragons series.
The second book will be called Bayden’s Alpha and will continue Axel and Bayden’s story.
Publishing has been delayed significantly by health issues, but I’m now tentatively planning a 2026/2027 release date.
Sorry again for the dramatically late reply.
Hope you have a wonderful 2026,
Kim Dare

Hi Ari,
I am doing okay, thank you :)
As has been the case for a while now, my health has stopped me from publishing.
However, I am finally back writing with a little bit of consistency. As of last month, I seem to have found a way to write despite health obstacles, so I hope to have more progress to share as the year goes on.
Hope all is well with you and 2026 will be a wonderful year for you.

Hi Splash,
Thank you for your question :)
Unfortunately, I don’t have a release date for Bayden’s Alpha to share yet.
The book is written, but health issues have meant that the whole process of completing re-writes, edits, etc, has been far slower than I would have liked.
Please believe that I haven’t given up on Bayden’s Alpha. It will be released as soon as possible, but at his point, I don’t have any information to share on when that will be.
Take care,
Kim Dare

Thank you for your question.
I’m really glad you enjoyed Axel’s Pup so much!
There are definitely going to be a lot more books in the Werewolves & Dragons series :)
I’m working on Bayden’s Alpha, the second book in the series at the moment.
Until recently, progress on it as been a lot slower than I would have liked due to health issues. However, my health has improved a little, progress has sped up and it should finally be coming out next year :)
I am genuinely sorry it’s taken so long. I do understand the frustration and I’m sure a lot of readers will already have given up on the series. However, the second book will 100% definitely happen :)

Thank you for your question. Sorry for the delay in answering. I’ve been away from the internet for ages and only just came back.
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the stories.
There is going to be a sequel to Axel’s Pup. It’s called Bayden’s Alpha and will follow on with Axel and Bayden’s story. (Later books in the series will then focus on other members of The Black Dragons.)

Unfortunately, I don’t have an accurate release date on Bayden’s Alpha just yet.
Until recently, progress on it as been a lot slower than I would have liked due to health issues. However, my health has improved a little, progress has sped up and it should finally be coming out next year - I’m still not entirely sure when next year, but as early in the year as possible :)

Hi :)
Thank you for your question. Sorry for the huge delay in answering. I’ve been away from the internet for ages and only just came back.
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the stories.
The only project I have coming out this year is a compilation of some story stories called Kinky Quickies: The Complete Collection. That should go up for sale in the next few weeks.

Hi!
Thank you for your question. Sorry for the delay in replying, I’ve been off line for the last few months.
I have lots of plans for the series. In my head it’s up to over a dozen titles now :) The next one will be Bayden’s Alpha which will continue Axel and Bayden’s story. Then other titles will focus on other couples.
No fixed release date for Bayden’s Alpha yet, but I’m hoping for early-ish next year :)

Hi,
Thank you for your question. Sorry for the huge delay in replying, I’ve been off line for the last few months.
I have quite a bit of Bayden’s Alpha written and I’m hoping one more big push will see it finished.

Hi Brandy,
Thank you for your question!
It is coming along quite well at the moment, I think. Progress is being made :)
Unfortunately, I don’t have a release date for it right now.
Thank you for your patience. I know this one has been in the pipeline for a while. I’m really grateful that there are still people out there who haven’t given up on me entirely!
Take care,

Hi Johnnie,
Thank you for your question :)
I will be re-releasing a new re-edited version of Thrown to the Lions series as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I don’t have a timeline for how soon that will be at the moment. However, The re-releases are probably going to be slotted in between new releases, so It might be a while.
Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you right now. I will be posting a release schedule as soon as I sort one out :)
Take care,

Hi June,
Thank you for your question :)
I’m working hard on Bayden’s Alpha (Werewolves and Dragons 2) right now. All going to plan it should definitely be out in 2020, although I don’t have a release date quite yet.
Once Bayden’s Alpha is finished, I’m hoping to get back to finishing a few projects that I have already started, including Sparkle and Albatross from the Avian Shifters series.
I’m really sorry for the delays in both of these series.
Both series have several further titles planned and I’m hoping I’ll be able to release them on a much better time scale now that I’m back to working more regularly :)
Take care,
Kim

Hi,
Thank you for your question. Sorry for the delay replying.
Unfortunately, the Rawlings Men series is currently out of print after the original publisher of the series closed down at the end of last year.
I have regained the rights the the series and will I be bringing out new editions as soon as I can, but I don't have a time line for when they will be available just yet.
Kim.

Hi :)
Thank you! I'm really glad that you enjoyed Axel's Pup!
I'm working on the sequel, Bayden's Alpha, at the moment :)
I'm hoping that it will come out late this year.
If it grows too much longer than expected, it might need to be pushed back to early 2020, but fingers crossed it will be Oct/Nov 2019.
Thank you!

Hi Victoria,
Thank you for the question :)
Unfortunately, circumstances have meant that progress on Bayden's Alpha hasn't been as quick as I'd hoped.
I will have a few shorter workers coming out this year, but unless circumstances change dramatically it's unlikely there will be a full length novel coming out.
