Hi Katie. I formed my own publishing housem Imajination books. So I'm what we call in this crazy business as an "indie author" :-)

There will be, and now are more. Sentinel Rising Book 1 in the Reardon Files is now up on pre order for 0.99 going up to full price on Release day November 27. You'll love where their relationship is headed and some surprises in relation to family. Told primarily from Connors point of view in this series...

Excellent Angela. At last we connect! I'll email the ebook through to you asap!!

Hi Julie
I wondered how long it would take before someone asked this question and I'm glad you are the one to ask it :-) The short answer to this is Yes I do. I'm not going to reveal more than that just yet, but I will say nowhere near the intuition that Gypsy has, I've written what I wished I had which is not to discount my own personal experience.
If you are in Melbourne, I'd love to meet up some time and share more about this with you face to face or a phone call?
I'm currently writing book4 Gypsy Curse, which I'm very excited about as I try to make each one better than the last. I've been told by two beta readers that it is the best yet, which is promising.
In book 4, Connors abilities increase, there is more corruption and the stakes are even higher believe it or not. Cover reveal soon. It should be available for pre-order in August 2015.
And thank you, great question!

Strange as it may sound, I got the inspiration for book 2 Gypsy Cradle, after a mundane visit to the supermarket! Inspiration strikes in unlikely ways it seems!
Andrea Drew
Hi Julie. The first 5,000 words of Gypsy Cradle are written in first draft form. I am really enjoying it. It is a "fatal attraction" meets "the sixth sense" type story. I was anticipating a release in May/June 2015 for Gypsy Cradle, but after the steep learning curve of my debut novel, have learned I need to add at least 3-4 months to anticipated release date for additional beta reading and editing. So probably around Oct/Nov 2015. I may offer a "sneak peek" of the first chapter or two in coming months possibly....for my core readers only or what I call my "reading tribe" I classify you as a part of my reading tribe :-)

Sorry Millard romance isn't my genre. I have around 15 people lined up to review the book upon release. My time now is spent on promoting Gypsy Hunted and writing the next one. Perhaps if you crowd sourced a thriller or mystery novel....
Andrea Drew
Gypsy Cradle same characters as Gypsy Hunted but could also be read as a stand alone book.
Andrea Drew
Never give in. The worst thing you can do is stop writing. Write every day even if you think its rubbish, write every day - a big part of writing is rewriting - for example it took me 4 months to write my first novel and nearly 3 months to rewrite it
Andrea Drew
Firstly I love it. And the more I write the better it gets. Also as I write thrillers if someone particularly pisses me off in real life I can often kill them in a novel :-) But also it can be quite cathartic as my characters go through and describe real life problems and situations of mine. The old "write what you know" is very true.
Andrea Drew
thankfully this doesn't happen that often. When it does, I leave what I'm working on for a while and do something physical - either the never ending housework or the gym. By the time I get back to writing, something has clicked. Plus, I see ideas around me in life all the time! Great question!
