Hi Grace!
First, thank you so, so much for loving the Niteclif series! It has always held such a special place in my heart. I love all of the characters and their struggles. Above all, I absolutely love my readers for sticking with the series. You are absolutely the BEST readers I could have hoped for.
So, about "Retribution"... I don't know how much you know about the issues facing the publisher of the Niteclif Evolutions, Samhain Publishing. Basically, the publisher is in the process of shuttering the business and closing its doors. That means I'll potentially be getting rights back for the Niteclif books. While this opens doors to a lot of potential opportunities (i.e. possible self-publishing?), it means that, as of right now, I don't have a publisher for "Retribution." Does that mean the book will never be published? No. Absolutely not. It simply means I need to weather the current storm and then determine the best way to get "Retribution" to my readers. I'll keep everyone up to date here and on my blog so that you know when to expect it.
In the meantime, I'm also writing as Kelli Ireland, and I have a new urban fantasy series I started called The Key Guardians. Book one is titled "Raising Cain." If it looks like something you might enjoy, let me know. I'll make sure you get a copy. Drop me a line via my alternate website, www.kelliireland.com, by using the "Contact Me" page. ;)
With immense gratitude,
Denise

Hi, Mel!
Actually, no, there are (about) 5 more books slated in this series. The next one is RETRIBUTION, and I'm hoping to have it out around the end of the year (or so). These books take quite a bit longer to write because I write them for the sheer joy of writing. Don't get me wrong! I enjoy everything I write, but if I have something contracted, I have to write it first. I'm thinking of serializing the next book (RETRIBUTION) and selling it for $0.99 a month for, say, 5 or 6 chapters. But we'll see. The most important thing is that I give you the best book I can.
Also, under my pseudonym (Kelli Ireland), I'm releasing a new urban fantasy series called The Key Guardians. And book one is titled RAISING CAIN. It comes out April 7 (digital only) but is my favorite book **ever**! There are five, maybe 6, books in that series, and it's moving right along re: getting them written.
I'll keep you posted on my progress with RETRIBUTION, though. I promise. And as soon as I have even a rough release date, I'll post it here so you know.
I hope you enjoy the books!
