Hi, I was really enjoying reading your detective series with Tell and then it just quit...?!? It doesn't feel finished... Are you going to write any more books for this series? Please do!!

Chloe Garner Thank you so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed the series thus far, and I do absolutely intend to write more in that world, hopefully coming in late 2024 …moreThank you so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed the series thus far, and I do absolutely intend to write more in that world, hopefully coming in late 2024 or early 2025. I'm in the middle of a very large project, but I want to go add books to existing series as soon as I wrap up this one. I will warn you, though, that I don't see series as something that come to a 'happily ever after' ending - there are only specific places where I could see a series coming to a concrete ending, rather than leaving it open for additional books, because the characters I write are seldom the type who will settle down and live a quiet life, in the future. They have skills and interests that are going to continue to get them in trouble, and in most cases, I have a vision of what that trouble is going to look like.

What I have also learned recently is that I prefer to write in 4-book blocks, so when more Tell books do come, look for several at once!(less)

Are there any plans in the works for a map to go along with all the Verida books? We need a detailed map of this entire world. Love the series!

I've been getting this question a lot more frequently, and for good reason. The world has expanded out to far reaches that exceed even the original maps that I drew as I was doing my planning work.

I would like to get something drafted that is better to scale than what I originally drew (whoops!) and that includes later locations beyond my early drawings, but I'm not sure how that will go out when it does. I'll try to get back here to let you know when it happens!(less)

The low-heat take on AI

I wrote a post a while back, maybe more than a year, with a warm take on AI. I didn’t want to do a hot take, and I remain there, trying to remain unreactive and just consider the actual evidence and reality as nearly as I can track it, as it becomes *real*.

Let me give you my broad, situational update, for what I think AI looks like from where I sit, and then give you the inciting incident of why

Chloe Garner answered Cara Delson's question: Hi, I just started reading The Division of the Ping Ring Belt on ebook thru kindle unlimited. I noticed a problem. Brandon's wife is sometimes called Cindy and sometimes Cathy. It was very confusing at first because I thought they were two different characters. Can you fix it? I hope you can, even if it's already published! I'd go for Cathy, I like it better on her, but that's just me! -Cara Hey, Cara! Thanks for the note. I'll make sure it gets include in the next update of the file! -Chloe

Quotes by Chloe Garner (?)

“Money makes people foolish, and it makes them confident, and confident foolishness is a dangerous, dangerous combination. Because when their foolishness loses that money, their confidence blames it on someone else, and it makes them volatile and sometimes even violent.”
― Chloe Garner, The Queen's Seal

“People are always trying to prove that the way things are is wrong, and that someone should do something about it, to make the world better. Often it’s under the guise of ‘fairness’. People die because someone else thinks their theory of the world is more fair.”
― Chloe Garner, House of Midas

“Do you believe in the magic of Santa and Christmas, or don't you?

Those are two different things, Valerie said.

Yes. They are. And at the same time, they aren't. You can believe in one and not the other, sure, but they take the same amount of belief.”
― Chloe Garner, The Santa Legion
