Hi Kristina -- I'm so glad you like the series. I got a big kick out of writing those books, but i've plunged back into writing more contemporary stories lately and "so many books, so little time". LOL. But i'll never say never. Have you read The Pennymaker Tales? They're also fairytale retellings, but not quite as dark as Ever After. They're very popular, however. And thank you again for telling me! Hugs!

Hi Linda -- The book is an homage to the old movie Sabrina starring Audrey Hepburn. While before all our times, LOL, Sabrina is a classic of charm and fun. Be sure to look for it. There was a newer version made with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond, but it's not nearly as good. The original starred Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and William Holden. I loved taking some of the themes from Sabrina -- the love triangle, the chauffeur's child, etc -- and turning it into a contemporary, MM romance. Thank you for asking! : )

Thank you so much for reminding me, Tammy. I've posted it and it should go live in minutes. Hugs! I'm so glad you liked it. : )

Hi Michael -- I'm so glad you like Pennymaker. I have written more fairy tales, but in a different series -- the Ever After, New York series. They're a bit darker.
Regarding Mr. Pennymaker, I'd prefer that you not use that character name due to copyright issues. Why don't you IM me on FB and i can tell you more about why. So glad you like him though. : )

Hi Heller -- Hows this for a belated answer!? I'm so sorry. I moved house and state this year and ended up living in a hotel for months. It's been chaotic. As for Jimothy, what a cool idea. I might give that some serious thought. Hugs! : )
Nov. 14, 2020 -- Hi Heller -- I just wanted to tell you that your long ago question planted a seed. A book starring Jimothy will be out in January 2020. It's called Hair Balls! : )

Hi Ashley -- I'm so sorry for this terribly belated answer. You might have heard i moved to a new house and new state this year and lived in a hotel for two months! It's been chaos! I'm so glad you enjoyed Sexy Shakespearean. The Case of the Voracious Vintner comes out on Jan 29th. It has 2 new heroes (2 sexy winemakers one of whom, Bo, was introduced at the end of Shakespearean)) but Llewellyn and Blaise still play a role in solving the crime. Thank you for asking.

Hi Blackmermaid -- I'm so sorry i didn't answer. You may have heard i moved house and to a new state this year and everything has been in chaos. As you may have already seen, Ry Forest is narrating Love You So Madly already and Love You So Special will be out around the 24th of this month! Thank you for asking and i'll be better in future about answering. : )

Hi Sahara -- Yes, i really want to. My problem is that most of my books are with Dreamspinner whom i adore and they only do gay romance. Of course, that series is MMF except for The Scientist and the Supermodel, so i need to find another publisher or publish them myself. I'd like to self publish but it takes so much time and i have so little (i write a lot of books and still have another job). But one of these days! Thanks for asking! : )

My mom was a very mysterious woman. All through my life, she told different stories about her family, where she was born, what her father did for a living, how he died, where she lived as a child, where she went to school and much more. The stories shifted all the time and, to this day, I don't really know what's true about my mother's life - -except the parts i shared. How's that for a mystery? : )

Hi KA. I'm so sorry to have missed answering! YES! Merle has a story of his own. I just finished it. He didn't fall for Bernardo, but i hope you'll love his guy. The book, called Fool of Main Beach, will be out in the fall. : )
Tara Lain
Hi Brenda - -I'm so sorry i missed your question! In fact i just finished writing Merle's story but, sadly, he didn't fall in love with Bernardo. I hope you do like his book, however. It's called Fool of Main Beach and it will be out next year. (Uh that's tomorrow! LOL. I expect it in the fall). : )
Tara Lain
Hi Book Faerie -- I'm so sorry i missed your question. In fact it's timely because i just wrote the last paragraph of Book 5 of Love in Laguna. It's called Fool of Main Beach and it will be out next year in the fall i imagine. : )
Tara Lain
Hi Ashley -- I'm so sorry i never answered your question. I missed it. Right now i have no more Pennymaker Tales in the works but i've considered writing another. Do you have a fave fairy tale that you'd like to see contemporaized. : )
Tara Lain
Hi K.A. -- If i do a 4th book in the series, it will be Jazz's story. I just have sooo many books to write right now, i'm not sure when. : )
Tara Lain
Thank you so much, Nathalie!Yes, Tackling the Tight End is coming on Jan 15th! : )
Tara Lain
Hi Nathalie -- Sorry to take so long to reply. Thank you! I'm so glad you like Lindsey and Seth. I agree. I love them too. Lindsey plays a definite role in Winter's Wolf. Not a spin-off at all, but he's still an important character. I'm torn about another book in the series. I have an idea for one, but the story does wrap up nicely in Winter's Wolf. So many story ideas -- never enough time! : )
