Monica Burns Hi Audrey,
Thank you for reading Dangerous. I hope you're enjoying it. Jamie and Aurora are two of my favorite characters. In answer to your question. Yes!! Jamie will have his own book, and will involve Imogene as his love interest. I'm planning on doing the next series of Rockwood books using the younger generation.

There's a lot of research involved, though as it's moving into the first WWI era, and I've two other projects in front of the start of the next Rockwood Book. So stay tuned.

I also have a text message service you can sign up for on my website monicaburn.com I only text new releases or sales.
thank you again for reading. Monica
Monica Burns Hi Tina, unfortunately the beginning of this series did not develop as I'd hoped. I have no plans for future books in the series. While my other books aren't BDSM there's plenty of heat. Dangerous and Pleasure Me come to mind. Thank you for your question. Monica
Monica Burns Hi Jayashina,

The story line came about in a fluke. I was watching HBO's ROME mini-series, and my husband was downstairs calling my name, and I was curled up quite comfortable in my recliner and didn't want to get up to see what he wanted.

I reached for the remote, but couldn't find it. When I realized it was on my desk several feet away, I thought, wouldn't it be great if I was telekinetic, and I could just do the Luke Skywalker thing and have the remote in my hand just by thinking about it. Then I could pause the DVD and reply to my husband.

As I thought that, I realized it was what would make the series unique enough to sell to a NY publisher. From there the series just sort of evolved into an centuries old battle between good and evil.

I really want to go back to the series, but I'm struggling to survive on what little I make off my other books, and I'm focused on writing what sells. My downfall is that I write incredibly slow, so I'm lucky if I get two books out a year. I'm trying to improve that, but it's slow going.

Thanks for asking! Monica
Monica Burns I loved Jamie too. A cocky little fellow. I do intend to write his and Imogene's romance, but it's going to be some time before I do so. If you've read The Highlander's Woman and Redemption you'll see a little more of him there as well. Not as much as in Dangerous, but he's as cocky as ever in Redemption. :-) Thanks for asking!
Monica Burns Hi Jane,

Thank you for inquiring about HIS PROPOSITION. This book has been put on hold due to poor sales of the other two titles in the series. Unfortunately, I have to focus on books that sell well in order to continue writing.

When I do write this book, it's unlikely to be a BDSM book, or at least not a full-blown BDSM. I pushed my limits with HIS TO COMMAND and HIS MISTRESS.

As a sexual assault survivor, I wanted to push the envelope of my healing, which I did, but at a personal cost. These two books were extremely difficult for me to write. I'm do not believe I have the emotional fortitude to write another BDSM and do it justice.

Thank you again for your interest. I deeply appreciate it.

Monica
