Hello!
Devil Inside is hopefully going to be part of a series yes. Obviously how much I do depends on how well it sells, but I'm finishing a novella featuring Eve and have written 20k of Book 2 in the Devil Diaries so I'm definitely aiming for there to be more!

Sadly not, whichever series you're talking about I think any such plans are on ice until such a time as I become a bestseller and things get reissued, or, perhaps more likely, publishers use AI to make audiobooks of their entire backlist. Which is also not an idea situation just for different reasons!

Hi Elliott, I'm afraid there isn't a timeline for the audiobook - it was delayed because of the pandemic but there's been no word whether it's actually going to happen. The best thing to do would be to contact Gollancz on something like Twitter and ask them directly - the more people (besides from me) asking for it, the more likely they'll decide to spend the money!
Thanks,

Currently I'm afraid not. It was the plan to do so at the start but it got curtailed for a few reasons so the other novellas I had planned are unlikely to get done - time and money is against me I'm afraid!

Hello. I'm afraid I don't know when it's going to be available. As yet I've not been told the plan but I guess it'll only be out in 2018, for sale at least. It might be used before that as an incentive for leaving reviews or signing up to a newsletter. I'll be announcing it loudly as soon as I know!

Hello!
Stranger of Tempest probably fits the bill best - there's a good gender mix in the mercenary company and the course of the plot is largely determined by Toil. Who I hope is sympathetic, but her job requires her to be pretty amoral about it. Of the other two, the Twilight Reign I started when I was young so the stronger female characters develop through the series rather than being thrown in at the start, and Moon's Artifice has Kesh as part of the core characters - she's not an action hero type, but she's brave and determined through it all.

Hi Gary,
There will be, but exactly when I'm not sure. Sorry to be coy about it, but the book is still being considered by some US publishers and while the ebook's availability isn't a problem, once print books are distributed into the US no large publisher will want to acquire the rights. So unless it gets signed up there I'd expect the paperback in April-ish to be the one that gets distributed.

I would love that to happen, but I'm afraid I think it only will if there's a significant increase in sales. They're very expensive books to do because they're so long and while the sales of the first were decent, they weren't high enough to justify the cost of doing the rest. Which is a shame because I thought David Rintoul did a brilliant job reading it!
