Hi Kelley, I put up A Light Amongst Shadows as a book of the week in my FB group, and realized that we left James and William at the end of book 2 with a ways to go personally - are you still planning for another in that series? (I totally understand real life happens - I just finished my werewolves, 7 years out from the previous book lol.)
Kelley York COVID definitely threw a wrench into writing on our end! But to answer your question: YES. There are definitely more books planned in the series, and the next one has been started. I hate that it's taken so long between books, but I hope when the next comes out, everyone who enjoyed the first several will pick it up.

What sparked the idea for "Hushed"? I just finished reading it, and I am absolutely amazed. It's one of the best books I've read so far,
Kelley York I had the idea for Archer first, as flawed as he is. I wanted to write about a boy who killed people while feeling he was doing the right thing. Then, I started asking myself questions, "Why is he doing this? For who? What background did he have that led him to this?" And thus, the plot came together. :)

Please, please, pretty please tell me we can expect new work this year (2018) or next?? Love your stuff. Thank you for everything you do.
Kelley York Book 2 in the Dark is the Night series will be out soon! (Possibly November, if all works out well.) Following that, there will be a novella, and then book 3 in 2019. :)

Hi! I am almost finished with A light amongst shadows and i love it so much. I couldn't stop reading. Will the second book in the duology be a companion novel? I really enjoy reading James and Williams story and i hope it is not finished. Fingers crossed xD
Kelley York The Dark is the Night series will have a number of books, actually! Book number two focuses again on William and James, from William's POV. There's also a spin-off novella in the works, and at least two more books planned, if not more. :) You can keep up to date and see teasers for book 2 on my FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/kelle... !

I love the story and the characters, in particular Chance. And even if it was just a book I am particularly affected by this adventure. Put out the end which, I confess, I was a little disappointed ... it is really open which leaves us full of hypothesis can certainly, but also full of unanswered questions. In the French edition of my book it is written that a sequel is forthcoming as "the innocence trap" is a sequel?
Kelley York At this moment, there is not a sequel for Chance's story. :)

Kelley York I'm not entirely sure on a sequel. I do sort of have one in my head, but we'll see if it ever gets written or if it's any good. It might not have enough sustenance, y'know? As for who killed Tabitha...well, I can't answer that one. :) That's for the readers to decide!

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Kelley York The book I'm working on now is for NaNoWriMo. I originally started another story and got several thousand words in...and out of nowhere, while listening to a particular song, an idea struck for a character. I can't say too much about it without spoiling it... :) But it was so sudden and clear, and I wish all my ideas came to me with such clarity!

Okay, so I found out that the "Please buy this book" request bucket at the school library is not being ignored so Made of Stars is on its way. Aieeeeeee
Kelley York That's so awesome! Thank you very much for requesting it. :)

I guess I must have missed it, but when did Hushed stop being distributed? Also I absolutely loved Hushed and can't wait to read all of your other books.
Kelley York HUSHED was originally published in 2011 as digital and print-on-demand. In October 2013, Entangled Publishing re-released it digitally (with a new cover) on one of their new lines. So it's still available. :) The digital version may have been taken down for a little while, but it's there again. Print copies are available on B&N or Amazon!
