Hi Martyn!

Charissa (as well as her father) appears in a cameo part in Book 2 of the main series (Canticum Tenebris). She has a short scene in it, but is very pivotal to the main plot! The main character of the Young Adult series will also be in Book 3 (A World Darkly).

For the YA series, yes- I do have plans to bring her back in the upcoming books too.(less)

In the end though, I chose a Chinese-American student as a protagonist. I set it in the usual spot for this genre--Los Angeles, and shifted back in time to just a few year Read more of this blog post »
