Turn back before it's too late...
Honesty -- don't do this if you don't love it. There will be plenty of days when you'll wonder why you didn't just go into a nice, lucrative career as a ditch digger or something. On those days, the only thing that will keep you going is your passion for telling stories.
It's still hard, though. Maybe consider that ditch digging opportunity very carefully before you make the decision to become insane -- I mean, a writer.

Thanks so much, Carrie!! At long last, I have a good answer to this question. :-) Audio book production for Wrong Side of Hell is now in progress, with the rest of the series to follow in audio format. I'll comment here when book 1 is finished!

I'm now working on book 7 in the DeathSpeaker Codex! Hoping to switch between the two series for releases. :-) And I've finalized the title for book 7 -- The Scrolls of Gideon. :-)

Hi Chanel -- absolutely! Book six (Prison of Horrors) will be out soon, hopefully by the end of November. :-) Thanks for asking!

Good question! Well... I had planned on a third, but the publisher dropped the series after the second. But times have changed, and I believe there's nothing stopping me from putting out a third book on my own.
I wish I had a better answer than I'm not sure. I have to look into a few things (publishers tend to complicate the process), but I'd like to say there's a strong possibility. :-)
