I really liked Sword and Verse! What character will the second book be about?
Kathy MacMillan I'm glad you enjoyed it! The second book will be from Soraya’s point of view, and will pick up about a month after the first book ends.

What other books are you working on? Any standalone set to release in 2016? I am definitely hooked up with your writing style.
Kathy MacMillan Alas, my next book is not scheduled until 2018. But I will be publishing lots of extras from SWORD AND VERSE on my website, including deleted scenes and additional scenes from other characters' points of view.

I actually have a lot of questions but i will ask the main ones. 1) Why did you not included any time frame in the book? 2) The rebellion was like it was formed only a few years ago but its hard to believe there weren't any uprising earlier. If there was then why wasn't it mentioned ? 3) The story of the goddess was good but what i couldn't understand was if the gods can be killed why didn't Goytia kill her?

will there be a sequel to sword and verse?
Kathy MacMillan Yes! Though SWORD AND VERSE functions as a standalone (i.e. no cliffhanger ending!), I am working on a sequel that picks up the action in another character's point of view. The second book should be out in 2018.

is this a stand-alone novel?
Kathy MacMillan It was originally intended to be, but then one of the other characters stepped up and demanded to have her story told, so I am working on the sequel now. But what I really suspect you are asking is : "Is this one of those books where I am going to invest a lot of time reading it and then it ends in a cliffhanger and I have to wait a year or more to find out what happens?" This book does function as a standalone, with what I hope is a satisfying ending. No cliffhangers here! I do hope that once you read it you will want to spend more time with these characters and want to read the sequel though!
