Is Cold Steel ever coming out in Mass Market Paperback? I've been waiting on it but I'm not sure if it's ever happening! I'd like all my books to match but I'm dying to know what happens next.

Rosa, thank you so much for asking. I'm so glad you've enjoyed the first two novels of Spiritwalker.
Unfortunately Orbit Books will not be bringing out a mass market version of Cold Steel. It's a business decision on their part. Books that aren't bestsellers will now only come out in the larger (trade) paperback size, and in ebook. This is because (as far as I understand it) that the market for mass market has been mostly replaced by the ebook market (that is, people who used to buy mass market often now buy the ebook version instead) so it is no longer cost effective for them to print a mass market version in the USA because they can't sell enough. In the UK, interestingly, they still publish both a large format paperback and then, some months after original publication, a small format one.
I am sorry there will not be a mass market pb to fit your collection. I hope you will read Cold Steel anyway -- I'm very proud of it and I feel it finishes up the series in a fitting way.
Thank you so much, and thanks for reading.

I see seven years ago you mentioned the possibility of another Jaran novel. Like the original question asker Alexa, I would love for more. I love the series and have read it multiple times but feel that there's so much more to come. I know it's been a long while since you last released a Jaran novel. Is there any hope of another? Should those of us who are fans give up?

Hi Mrs. Kate Elliot!, I just finished Court of Fives, and I loved it! I plan to continue reading the fantastic series, as well as catch up on some of your other work. I just wanted to know if the Court of fives series is a trilogy or not? And if it, does that include a prequel and sequel? Thanks. P.S Why would Jes win the Fives! Kal will have to go off to war! They cannot be split apart! I love Kessamay
