Jessica Roe There will be. I have 1 in the works, and at least 3 planned before I say goodbye to Fortue - Zac's story included
Jessica Roe Hi there! I'm currently working on a couple of projects, including the next in the Fortunate series. I'll hopefully have it out by summer at the absolute latest xxx
Jessica Roe I can't believe I never answered this! How forgetful can one person be lol! Hi Kaleigh! Sorry to have only just replied to your question. I'm working on a couple of projects at the moment, the next in the Fortune series being one of them. I'm hoping to have it out by summer at the absolute latest. I'm really glad you like the series :)
Jessica Roe Hi Viv!

Yes, Zac will most definitely be getting his own book. He's a character I've loved right from the start but has never had enough page time in my opinion so I'm looking forward to writing his own story :)
Jessica Roe Hi Sarah. Thank you for your question and apologies for the late response. My only excuse is that I'm a huge scatterbrain. I'm currently working on a short novella for Micah (from Nothing Like Him) and then I'll be getting to work on Zac's story. I already have an idea which I'm very excited to get working on :)
Jessica Roe Hi Jannat. FINALLY getting round to answering your question - so sorry for such a late reply! I'm so glad you enjoy my writing, that's a lovely thing to hear. Zac will be getting his own story. He's a character I love but haven't explored much yet so I'm excited to write for him. I'm currently working on a short novella for Micah from Nothing Like Him, and the Zac's full length story will be coming right after that one :)
Jessica Roe Hey Tanya! I'm glad you liked Nash's story :) That's always great to hear

We haven't yet met Zac's lucky lady, but I do have her in my head already. Very excited to write his story
Jessica Roe Zac will definitely be getting his own story, and I'm super psyched to get started on it. His will come after Nathan's, which I'm working on right now. Zac's story will definitely be out this year, though I can't give you a date on that just yet
Jessica Roe Hia, Kaleigh! I'm working away on the next in the Fortunate series right now, and it will hopefully be out by late March, early April at the latest. This one will be Nathan's story, titled Nothing Like Him :)
Jessica Roe I hadn't planned on it originally, but he's actually a character that stayed with me so I have thought about giving him his own story. Maybe a short one after Nathan's
Jessica Roe Hey there. Nathan will definitely be getting his own story - his will actually be the next in the series and I'm hoping to have it out early next year :)
Jessica Roe Hey Heather. As of right now most of my books do contain mature themes so I probably wouldn't recommend them to anyone under the age of 17. The exception to that is Because of Him, which I'd say is okay for ages 15+.

I am planning a young adult fantasy series right now though :)
Jessica Roe Right now I'm working on a novella for Jemma from Because of Him. I won't give away too much, but there's a tattooed hunk named Reid and Jemma will definitely be out of her comfort zone.

I'm also working on book 2 of The Guardians. This one is called United, and will be about the journey that Gable, the Outcasts and the Guardians take to bring home their missing Outcasts. There will also be a voice inside the prison too

Jessica Roe Awesome! I'm glad you liked it :) Blair and Silver won't have their own sequel - I think the pair of them have dealt with enough now and deserve to be happy lol - but they'll definitely feature pretty heavily in a couple of other stories. Right now I'm working om Jemma's novella and they've had some definite page time, and I also have something a little special planned for them when I write Nash's story too
Jessica Roe :) That's super nice! Very glad you enjoyed. I don't have a definite date just yet, but Jemma's novella will hopefully be out in April/May, and after that Nash will be getting his own story too
Jessica Roe Plenty of things - working my own hours, getting to work from home (usually in my PJs), getting to do something I really love. But most of all the readers, who are super nice and incredibly supportive. They definitely make it worthwhile
Jessica Roe I hadn't originally planned on it, but a few people have asked and the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea and now I'm super into it lol. I already have a definite story idea for Nash - which I'll start on when I've finished with the Jemma novella I'm currently working on.
Jessica Roe I just keep writing right on through it. Most of what I write during writer's block will probably end up being rubbish, but there'll usually be something I can salvage later on when I've got the writing bug back. Failing that, I blast music and dance around my living room like a crazy person until my brain stops being so clouded
Jessica Roe Well, I was watching some action movie - I can't remember which one, maybe James Bond or something like that - and during one of the fight scenes my over active imagination went into overdrive. I started thinking about those nameless minions that James Bond was killing off on his way to the big bad. I was thinking that they couldn't always have been minions, right? Like, they had to have parents and a family, maybe a wife and kids, etc. And now they've just been shot and totally forgotten about two seconds later. And I started thinking about what it would be like to hear a story told from an evil minion's point of view. And that's basically when Gable came into the picture. Obviously her character grew and expanded beyond a simple minion, but that's the origin anyway.
