Hi a j? I'm a big fan of your books love them just wanted to know if you will be doing dragons story thanks mimi
A.J. Downey Hi Mimi,

Sorry, I come to Goodreads very infrequently and missed your question but in answer to it, YES! Dragon's book will be the next book in the Sacred Brotherhood series. It will also be the last book in the Sacred Brotherhood. Thank you for reading!

I know that each book in the series should be read in order. My question is is there a order that is best in reading each series, meaning what series should I start with to get the most out of all the book? If there's really not that's fine.
A.J. Downey Yes. Shattered & Scarred through Damaged & Dangerous is where to start, then The Virtues trilogy, then Brother to Brother on. They do all cross over and they do all bleed into eachother. You even see a crossover between Indigo Knights and the SHMC in A Brother's Secret. That is the latest book in the Sacred Brotherhood series.

I just read about the first book in all your MC series. I think I'm going to love all of these. My question is do the difference series run into each other? By that I mean the same world/towns and do they mention or interact with characters from other series? If so could you please tell me the best reading order for the series? Thanks so much for any help!
A.J. Downey Shattered & Scarred is the place to start. Then the Virtues trilogy, then Brother to Brother.

I am new to the Sacred Hearts, having just read the Brotherhood books 1 & 2. But I am currently confused about something. In the 3rd book, Brothers In Arms, it keeps calling Drays ol' lady "Em" and she's Irish?! From the other books, I was certain she was Everett, Evy or Ev. Irish, really? Accent and all, how did I miss that?!
A.J. Downey It's in Book 2 of the SHMC Broken & Burned. Her name is Everett Mary Moran and her initials are EMM or Em. It stuck out to Dray and that's what he calls her.

Is there a story or will there be about Hossler, just with her being mentioned a few times, i'd like to hear her story and hopeful happy ending?.
A.J. Downey Maybe, I haven't decided yet but have plenty of time to do short stories and some sort of collection. I will add it to my list of story ideas people want to see.

Are you going to be doing a spin-off series on the Voodoo Bastards from The Virtues?
A.J. Downey I have not decided. Maybe if I can ever get to New Orleans and soak up enough of the atmosphere to get it right.

HI AJ, just blasted through all your books and wondered what the future plans were? Sounds like there might be a Cell and Blue book? And I'm sure like others I would love another Reaver and Hayden book, it feels as if their story isn't finished (wouldn't mind if there was a baby carriage in their future as well!)
A.J. Downey Blue & Cell are up for their own book, so are Data and Dragon, but beyond that I don't know yet. :)

A.J. Downey My next book will be Hunter's End with Ryan Kells to complete the Moon Forged trilogy. My next MC book I am working on now. It will likely be Brother in Arms which will be Rush's book.

Hey A.J. just finished Brother to Brother and of course it was AWESOME!!!!. Was wondering when the next book about Nox will be out?
A.J. Downey Nox's book, Her Brother's Keeper, came out on November 1st, so it is available through Amazon now.

Hey A.J. Just finished #3 of The Virtues and of course it was AWESOME! Will there be more books in this series because I love these characters and I'm sure there's so much more to tell? Please say YES.....LOL!!!!!
A.J. Downey I am thinking about one more book - Stoker's Serenity - but I haven't decided when or if I'm going to write it. Sorry for the long delay in reply. I don't come to Goodreads very often. It is a notoriously unfriendly place for authors.

Hi there. Huge fan of the series, I just finished up the 3rd book, Cracked & Crushed. Reaver's story. It was heartbreakingly amazing. I can't wait to devour the next one but wanted to ask, as a wannabe writer (refering to myself there) did Squick get a .5 book because he's not patched in yet or was his story thought of after you wrote book 4?
A.J. Downey Truthfully, he got a .5 book because I wasn't 100% comfortable writing M/M but realized there was a fanbase for it and his story deserved to be told. So I went outside my comfort zone and told it.
flag
Are you going to continue with any of the other characters from Sacred Hearts (Blue, Data)? Would love to read more about Reaver and Hayden and all the other couples...marriages mentioned and Red's baby, will there be any additional books?
A.J. Downey Yes, eventually. Right now I am about to publish a three book spin off about The Kraken.
flag
I just finished reading Damaged & Dangerous, which I loved by the way. I really am intrigued by Blue. I was curious if you thought about telling his story?
A.J. Downey Yes, Blue, Duracell and their mystery girl will have their story told at some point. :)

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
A.J. Downey I think that will be the last one. I don't think my heart could or would take it if there were any more. Only one book left in this story arc / series.

Absolutely love the Scared Hearts MC books. When can I look forward to reading the next one? Would like to know more about Stokes...
A.J. Downey A novella will be coming out sometime in February but I have no character named Stokes... I'm not quite sure who you are referring to there so I am unable to answer that portion of the question. Sorry!
