I have a question...
A lot of authors write novellas to release in between the primary works. Do you have any plans to release any novellas?

Ooh, that's a cool question, Erin! I don't usually like companion novellas but I think a Zodiac one would be hard to resist! ;)

I just hate buying them as they come out. I like having them with the rest of my books. I waited for the Delirium and Selection novellas to be released in paperback to read them. lol

I like physical books better, if it's an ebook I'm less likely to be able to buy it.

Hi Erin! <3
Great question, as always. My editor and I have been talking about doing something like this, and if we do, I imagine we'd release it in late summer/fall. The ZODIAC universe is so vast that it lends itself to an infinite number of stories, and I'd love the chance to tell them all.
Well, maybe not ALL...but at least a few more! <3

That would be so awesome! I'd definitely make sure that I bought and read it because I just love the world you've created.

Hi Rose! <3
So lovely to hear from you again! I think it would be so much fun to explore the lives of characters from other Houses, particularly a few people whom we'll meet in Wandering Star... ;)
But right now we're only at the beginning of Rho's journey, so for the moment, I'm most excited to continue telling her tale. <3
As for any future stories, only the stars of the ZODIAC know what's in store... ;)

:) Thank you! :D

Hi again Andrew! <3
That is such a cool idea!!! I would have to run it past the publisher, but I love that and think it would be absolutely awesome. I'll let you know if it ever materializes, of course! :)
Thank you!

Hi again..."
I would definitely buy those! I kind of have a thing for graphic novels.

Hi Angie! <3
Love hearing from so many of my favorite people on this thread! Thank you for asking. At the moment, I've been contracted for 3 books, but if that changes I'll definitely let you know.
The third installment comes out in December 2016! And I CAN'T WAIT to see that cover! <3
Thanks!

Me too! I'd love to see it be more than a trilogy!

yay!

Even though I also like it when we come up with our own visually different universes for the Zodiac Galaxy in our imaginations, should there ever come an opportunity, would you turn this series into a movie?

I would LOVE to see Z turned into a film series b/c it would be super cool to see the story interpreted through a different medium, one that would allow us to visually experience the universe.
Yet I agree with you that in order to do it right, the film would need a huge budget, so that the worlds could feel as real and detailed as possible. As such, it's going to be difficult to find a studio to option the rights b/c they would need to feel somewhat certain that they could make back their investment, and that's a pretty big risk to take on such a newbie series.
I'm still hoping this avenue gets explored down the line, once the next book comes out and the series picks up more momentum. But unless it becomes a best seller, I doubt we're going to be seeing it on the big screen, LOL! <3
Thank you for this awesome question!

You're absolutely right! I forgot to consider that since the book series is still new, it does need to pick up some more attention. We fans will help! If it gets more exposed and more people can share the same love for the books as we do, then I hope it's a possibility come to life.
Thanks for answering!
Just remember to hide any spoilers so we don't ruin the book for someone.
P.S. Thank you so much, Romina! We really appreciate you taking the time to answer some questions! <3
