Oh my gosh, Connie! I so love you right now. LOL Yep, I've been busy working on The Golden Key Chronicles to get Caedmon and Rowena back up on Amazon, and I hope to have it tweaked and ready to go in the next couple of weeks. And I gotta say, I've been having a blast re-reading this book. Holy crud, talk about falling in love with these characters all over again. :P Instead of being published as a serial, I'm gonna have the whole book available as a standalone. I'm not sure of the exact date yet, but if you wanna make sure and not miss it as soon as its re-released (and on sale for a better price), you may wanna subscribe to my newsletter. Here's the link and THANK YOU for this most excellent question. You made my day. xo AJ

Hi Becky! Thank you so much for this awesome question!! Honestly, I wish some days I had this problem. LOL Generally speaking, waaaaay before I'm ready, these people show up in my head and start talking...and I think GREAT! Now I got this so-and-so taking up space. When am I gonna find time to get to their story? The struggle for me is never WHAT I'm going to write next, but WHO. I usually go with whomever's loudest. Helps lower the volume. :-)

Hi Shelly! Thank you so much for this question!!! You know...prior to writing Eden Smith, she was in my head for so darn long, I'm not really sure where she came from. But I also knew that once she showed up, told me where she came from, who she was and why, I couldn't let her story sit. While her life is definitely off-center, I also knew many, many people would identify with the idea of exacting revenge. And once I got it all down on paper, man, even SHE blew me away with how things unfolded. xo

The one I am currently writing...whoever they might be at that specific time. I generally fall so in love with them, they're my favorite. :-)

Without a doubt the most enjoyable part of my writer's journey has been meeting other writers who have become my dearest, closest friends and supporters. I would be lost without my writer pals. :-)

Sweet Goddesses wept!!!! Karla! You have no idea how much this message has totally made my day! Thank you, lovely! How awesome are YOU!!! :-) As of right now, I don't believe Harper Collins has any plans to release either series as an audio book...but I've recently had this idea suggested to me several times so I may pursue audio by myself in the future. I'll definitely let you know if the books are released in that format.
Yep, the Golden Key Legacy is supposed to be released as one standalone collection set at some point this year, but unfortunately I'm not quite sure of the date. I've been waiting for my editor to confirm that for me so I can get all my promotional ducks in a row. She originally told me the release would happen this August, but I'm not sure of the exact date. Are you waiting for the books to come out as one before reading the series? Just curious.
