The Dollmakers says it's a stand alone book here on good reads, but the cover says "A novel from the fallen peaks." Is it fair to expect more books from the fallen peaks may happen one day?

The Dollmakers itself is a standalone in the sense that I don’t plan on writing a dir…moreYes, I have plans for more books set in The Fallen Peaks series! The Dollmakers itself is a standalone in the sense that I don’t plan on writing a direct sequel featuring the main cast of the book, but I have several more books written and/or planned set in the same world, in different countries, with new casts of characters interacting with the magic system of the world in different ways. There’s one character who’ll be in all the books (I bet you can guess who), and in general my plan for the series is to write it as a sequence of standalones, similar to the structure of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, with each novel capable of being read independently, but with an overarching story/narrative laced throughout the series.

One thing I've been wondering about dolls... what happens when they are SOLD, and then their dollmaker dies? Specially artisan dollas, which are everywhere? Does this produce a huge challenge in that all dolls, even after being sold and changing masters, still go cuckoo-crazy after their maker's death, and have to be tracked down to be burried... or does changing masters preserves them after their maker's death?

Lynn Buchanan and 33 other people liked Genoveva Dimova's review of Monstrous Nights (The Witch's Compendium of Monsters, #2): "With a little over a month until Monstrous Nights comes out, I thought I should tell you a bit more about it. While Foul Days was inspired by the early years after the Berlin Wall was built, Monstrous Nights is a very loose interpretation of the time " Read more of this review »
