Tina- The page count of printed books max out at around 840 pages (at least that's with Amazon's print company CreateSpace). Part III exceeded it, so yes, Part III will be a separate book. If you'd like a printed copy of Part III when it's available just shoot me an email at seakerstalisman@comcast.net. But in the meantime, since you already purchased Parts 1 & 2 in printed form, I would be more than happy to gift you an ebook through Amazon as a thank you. I just need you to email me your address.

Truthfully, I swear don't feel like an author, so feel I have no good "writer" advice to give other than let your passion be your guide.

Trying to wrap up Larimar (Talisman: Volume 4) and crafting a few spin-offs from the series.
S.E. Akers
Talisman came from my love of fantasy growing up. I was a serious Dungeons & Dragons fanatic and wanted to create a series that was set in a contemporary environment. And I couldn't think of a more fitting location than my hometown in West Virginia.

I cut back on my hours as an interior designer and started homeschooling my autistic son several years back, but I found myself still in need of a "creative outlet" that I could do from home. The creating was easy, but the writing has been a baptism by fire.

The creativity it allows
S.E. Akers
I usually put my keyboard aside, put on a playlist of some of my favorite songs, pick up a pencil, and start drawing. I've always been more artistically inclined, so that does wonders for head-clearing.

Please forgive me for how late this response is coming. You're the first person to submit a question through Goodreads and I just saw it today. Yes, Larimar is the next one (working on it as I'm typing this) and then there are two more after that (Amethyst & Moonstone). I try to my best to make each one a little better than the last, hence the time it's taking to wrap up Larimar. There are lot more characters and it sets the stage for the remaining two books with respect to its sub-plots. And I'm planning a few separate "spin-off" series with three of the characters that will be introduced: "Bound" ..."Marked "...and "Cursed". So I am being critically careful about timelines and trying to avoid any potential plot-holes...So I'm basically being a bit anal ;-)
But thank you for your interest...I wish more people would write in
