Hi Vinod,

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the Safanarion Order. I did write down a few ideas for a prequel as well as ideas for continuing the series. So writing a prequel is definitely a thought I’ve considered, but at this point I’m not sure when I will fit it in. I’m about to begin writing the 3rd book in a new series that will be out by July. After that I return to Safanar, which I’m really looking forward to.

Thanks again for reading the series and for reaching out to me.

“Some people’s desire to bury their heads in the sand could never be underestimated.”
Ken Lozito, Infinity's Edge

“Always remember that fate uses us to its own ends, but it will never take away our right to decide. Choose wisely, and choose quickly. Death comes swiftly to those who tarry in the middle of the road.”
