Rhi82953 asked Erika Johansen:

Hello! Firstly thank you for writing the Queen of the Tearling series. It's difficult to find stories with strong heroins who are plagued by the same insecurities as us, without their stories being entirely eclipsed by romance. Kelsea is someone so relatable and also someone who is an inspiration, a perfect balance. Reading BTK right now and don't want it to end! Any updates on the next chapter for Kelsea?

Erika Johansen Hi Rhiannon. I'm glad you like BTK; the book wasn't particularly popular, I guess, but I was very proud of it. I've been working on the next bit of Kelsea, but it won't see the light of day until I'm convinced it's good, and I think that's going to be a while; I'd rather never publish the thing than try to continue Kelsea's story and blow it. I do have a new book coming out in November called The Kingdom of Sweets...not set in the Tearling, but (to my mind, anyway) not that distant either. You might like it. Meanwhile, I'll keep on doing my best to get Kelsea back to you all. Thanks again for reading!
