Constant has not released yet. I'm shooting for the end of February. :)

Hi, Brenrik! Thank you for asking! I'm finishing up the edits for the last book of Sumeria's Sons right now. I should be able to release Releasing Chaos up on Smashwords on this coming Friday or Saturday (November 6th or 7th). The other sites like Amazon and B&N will follow quickly, but Smashwords is usually quicker on getting the book up.

Hey, Lola! Yes, I plan another audiobook for Sumeria's Sons. It won't be until later this year since I need to save up to pay the narrator. But there is another coming, perhaps two if I can swing it. <3

The paperback omnibus of Unshakable that included Playing for Keeps and Keeping Faith is not available through retailers at this time. The rights were returned to me at the beginning of the year. I plan on re-releasing the two together later this year, after I'm able to give it another editing pass and purchase a new cover and formatting. If you wish to read the short of Playing for Keeps only, it is still available through MM Romance group's website. http://www.mmromancegroup.com/playing...
I hope this helped!
I hope this helped!

Yes. Constant will be book 3 and Bespoken book 4. I am currently working on Constant rewrites (there were lots of issues :) right now so it hasn't been submitted to the publisher yet. <3

Hi Marcia! I waited to answer this question because I knew the full story would be released sometime this year. I wanted to be able to give a definite time instead of a generalization. Caledonia Destiny: Blessed Bane will be released in a couple of weeks on July 9, 2018. I reworked the initial story, then expanded it, finishing the plot line and love story for Ewen and Roi. Fated was around 30k. Caledonia Destiny is complete at 111k with an HEA for our heroes. :)

Hey Nick! Releasing Chaos is the finale for Tristan, Ushna, and Brian's story and will wrap up all the loose ends pertaining to them. However, I do plan a standalone and have a storyline in the works for Sumeria's Magi that will tell the story of Gregori's circle, and then Sumeria's Children in which a few of the younger generation will have a story to tell. Atar and Justus, for sure. Since its a plan-in-progress I don't have the full scope of who else be involved. Lots of trials and adventure still to show. I hope you enjoy Releasing Chaos!

Hi Karen! I am working on the 3rd book. The momentum stalled with a death in the family this year. The last few months I haven't been able to write anything much so it's been dead in the water, so to speak. I'm working on getting Releasing Chaos (Sumeria's Sons, 6) and Sunder (Darksoul, 1) published in August and September, then I'll go back and see if the words are flowing again. It is promising to be a monster book. There is so much story to show. <3 Thank you so much for your patience.

Hey Amy! Unfortunately, I don't have any news on the full novel of Darksoul yet. Well, other than I commissioned a map for the inside cover and the book will also be available in print. I'm also looking into putting the story in audiobook format. As for the when the novel will be released, I don't have a projection for that. When the book comes out of edits, you'll see more chatter about Darksoul. Sorry this information doesn't help much. I'm impatient for the book to be released, too. :)
Lexi Ander
Hi Kismet! Sumeria's Sons isn't on the publisher's agenda for audiobooks. Depending on how well the last book of the series does, I might decide to take on the project myself because really, I would love to listen to Tristan's story being told. :) I'm tickled to hear that you love my stories. Thank you. <3

Hi Ariel! I'm in the process of finishing the last book of Sumeria's Sons, and with luck, I'll be able to submit it to the publisher in the next few weeks. I have completed Darksoul. I'll be releasing the story as one complete novel because the ending of part one was rushed, plus there were a couple of things I needed to address that extended the first section. I had planned for the full novel to be out earlier this year but it wasn't to be. :( The book is now in the hands of an editor, but I've learned not to try and forecast how quickly (or not) a project will go. So I don't have a guess about the time of release, but I will be yelling it from the hilltops when Darksoul is ready. :)
Lexi Ander
Hi Ariel! Yay! I'm so tickled you loved Sumeria's Sons. I'm working on the last book for the series as we speak. With luck, (timing and publisher schedule and how soon I finish the story) the book could be out later this year. *knock on wood* :-D
Lexi Ander
Oi! I'm so, so sorry I missed your question. For some reason GR didn't send me a notification.(So not cool.) I'm glad you enjoyed Keeping Faith! I had such fun writing the story. I've thought about writing one more story for the series that would belong mainly to AJ. Trent and Brock both had their adventures, you know? But I'm on the fence about it. I love hearing Gent, Sammy, and Ned getting some love. I adore Gent and have been throwing around possibly writing a story for him. I just can't decide what to do for the plot. Keep him as the feared assassin (writing that part in Keeping Faith was scary. I was sure people would hate him) or write a story of redemption--or maybe a mixture of both. Neither Sammy or Ned have been speaking to me, so at this time I don't have any ideas brewing for them, but that could change. :) In short, there could be at least two more books but I'm not currently working on them. I need plots that keep them in a contemporary setting. I predominately write sci-fi/fantasy and I keep wanting to put them in an urban fantasy setting. Hopefully something will come to me. Thank you for your question! (Super sorry about the delay in answer!!)

Yikes! As happy as I am that you loved the series (thank you!!), if the book you bought doesn't start out with Zeus being found, I would return it to the retailer and get your money back. What you bought sounds like the original version that I wrote for a sci-fi group here on GR years ago. Alpha Trine was revamped and reedited right before the series was picked up by the publisher. So what you bought, they shouldn't be selling. The current Alpha Trine can be found at these trusted retailers. LT3 Press. Amazon. All Romance. Bookstrand. iTunes. Barnes & Noble. Those are the places I know of that sell the authorized copies of Alpha Trine. >.< Sorry for your trouble.

I haven't written the third book in the series yet. >.< Life and other writing projects got in the way, and annoyingly that threw a wrench into my well laid plans. I will work on the story in 2016. I won't have an idea of when the book will be published until I've finished writing. ;)
Lexi Ander
Hey, Ivana! I would like to write another story in this series. I feel the guys have more story to tell, but a plot that fits them hasn't come to me yet. I am considering writing a standalone for The Gentleman so I'm sifting through possibilities for him as well. ;)
Lexi Ander
Hey, Shinynickel! I'm freakin' tickled to hear you loved Darksoul.Yes, I am working on the second part of Darksoul. What I am doing is publishing both Part One and Part Two in one book and that is why the meter just says Darksoul. The title upon completion will be "Darksoul: The Complete Novel".The reason why I am publishing the two parts in one novel is because I need to put the last chapter of Part One further back in the story. I feel Gabe's acceptance so quickly after his freak-out is much too soon. Plus, there are some minor things that I need to add to Part One that would support a second (different couple) story that I want to write after Darksoul. What I will do is keep the sections in the two parts so that those who have already read Darksoul: Part One can skip directly to Part Two without needing to reread or to search for where the new content starts. At this time, I'm on schedule to have the complete novel out on the market at the end of December. I'm shooting for Christmas time but it will depend on how well the editing goes. I hope this answers your questions and isn't too confusing. ^_^

Hey Fadai! So freakin' tickled you enjoyed Darksoul. I loved writing this story. The original thought was for this to be a standalone because I already have a couple of series that I'm trying to complete and I didn't want to add another one to the pile. But really, it will depend on how I feel as I finished up the 2nd half of the story. If it does involve into a series, I suspect that anything coming afterwards will could be read as individually. Thank you for reaching out! Hearing that the stories are liked really makes my day!! <3

Hi, Kathleen! I'm not sure who added the Bespoken book mark. >.< That wasn't created by the publisher or me. Bespoken is one of the this year's writing projects. I'm completing Sumeria's Sons before jumping back into the Valespian Pact. Once I've taken Sumeria's Sons off my plate, I'll write the Valespian Pact series back to back so they'll be released much closer together. I hope this helps and I apologize for the the confusion.

Hi SapitoLector! Oh, hard question. When I was putting together the information for the rest of the series, several things had to happen to complete the overall plot of switching the Triumphant to bring the grid up to full power. I had originally planned four books. Two for Zeus and two for Prometheus. In order for Prometheus and his Galactic Princes to be successful several things had to happen that weren't a part of the original plan so I had to rework the sequence of events and instead of "telling" the side adventures, I decided showing would be better.
The rest of this year I'm working to finish the last two books of the Sumeria's Sons Series. They have tentative release dates that I need to meet deadlines for. Once they are complete I will work on the rest of the Valespian Pact series, back to back so that the release dates are much closer together than they have been so far. I don't have a tentative date for the next book. >.< But I do have the series events fixed and the sequence of events set.
#1 - Alpha Trine - Zeus, Dargon, and Alpha
#2 - Striker - Zeus, Dargon, and Alpha
#3 - Bespoken - Prometheus, Malek, and Vipre
#4 - Chosen - Axis & the Chimera triplets
#5 - Rebirth - Canry & Nethus
#6 - Boundless - Madux & Star Eater
#7 - Legends - Prometheus, Malek, and Vipre
I'm sorry I don't have a better projection of a release date for Bespoken. >.<
