 Okay, I get a lot of questions about when series are ending. Some series are opened ended and will continue until sales/reviews fall. Reviews? Yes, reviews. I need the reviews to advertise. When I can’t get enough, that plays into the end of a series. Only reviews on Amazon count for the advertising. It is what it is.
What series don’t I have an end date for at this time so don’t send me panicked messages because I’m not giving you specifics about endings (that’s because there are no specifics, so chill)? 1. Wicked Witches of the Midwest 2. Moonstone Bay 3. Mystic Caravan 4. Spell’s Angels 5. Two Broomsticks Gas & Grill 6. Charlie Rhodes 7. Supernatural Speakeasy 8. Hannah Hickok They will go on indefinitely as of this time. If an end starts to take shape, I will let you know with more than a year to go. Which series are ending? 1. Ivy Morgan: In November of 2021, the last regular book in the series will hit. It’s called Wicked Forever (book 21 in the series) and is several books after the wedding. The characters will continue showing up in crossovers, though. 2. Death Gate: This was always a set number of books. Much like Aisling, I had a set story I wanted to tell. It will be nine books. When does the last book hit? Not until October 2022. Will there be more Grimlocks after that? They will be regular players in another series (actually, probably more than one but that needs to be ironed out going forward). The heroine of the one series I’m absolutely sure about is actually being introduced in Only the Devout. You will get to see her a bit (no, she is not Redmond’s love interest) and you will get to know her before she gets her own series. I actually have an incredibly in-depth world set up for her and a fun way to explore the new environment that is taking shape in Detroit’s downtown. 3. Harper Harlow: As of right now I have Harper ending with Ghostly Travels (book 18 in the series) in May 2021. I am not 100% married to that – it’s more 50-50 – but I’m leaning toward it. She will also be continuing in crossovers. If I were to think of some fantastic arc, I can see pushing that off for three books (but that would be the limit). I don’t presently have that arc, so I’m leaning more toward ending it. I would prefer ending when I still have fresh ideas than grasping at straws. As for the rest, I have books planned for all the series I termed “ongoing” through at least 2022. I can’t answer after that because I can only think so far into the future. That brings us to Avery Shaw. You will notice I didn’t include her in either section. To be honest, Avery is my favorite character. She’s the most like me. However, she suffers from declining sales, an inability to cross over into the other worlds, which makes her an island, and declining reviews. That doesn’t mean I totally want to let her go, though, because I like writing about myself in a story. So, what does that mean? In March 2021, the last SCHEDULED Avery Shaw book will hit. I’m not telling you the title because it’s a spoiler. After that, basically I will write an Avery book when I have a really good idea (which is very easy for me to do because I get inspiration from the news constantly). She will not have more than one book a year, though, and I will basically plug her into the schedule when I have inspiration/time. I will announce when I plan to publish a book, but she will no longer be on the schedule after March of next year. I will simply add her in when I can. Which brings us to new series. There will be one new series next year. Harley, who you’ve met in Charlie’s series, will get her own series. The first book hits in September 2021. The Grimlocks will be involved in that series, too, although they will not be as prominent as they are in the Death Gate series. The love interest in that series is Logan, who you met in the Mystic Caravan and Grimlock crossover. There will be more on that later. For Lily Harper Hart, the Witch on the Rocks series will also launch in September 2021. That one will be a lot of fun and I will break it down later (when I have more time). Those are the only new series next year. I don’t know yet what new series will launch in 2022 but that’s quite a ways off anyway and I need time to figure things out. So, I think that’s it. If there are any changes, I will let you know. As always, thank you for reading.

I am not really a huge fan of series, bur I still want to thank you for discussing each and every series that you have in here. Too bad because I don't indulge myself into watching series. Though I know that most of these stories have good plot twists, I don't have enough time to watch series because of my heating schedule. The only series that I got the chance to watch was "13 Reasons Why" and "Kingdom" Both stories were really amazing! Now, I am looking forward to have time to see at least two series!

I love the Avery Shaw series however, it seems lately every book is the same story told over and over again. I think you should spice things up really big. Maybe you could kill.off Eliot. Or Jake and Avery could have an affair. Or Eliot cheats on avery. You know, give it a big kick in the pants.

Instead of asking the author to change the tone of the series, if you no longer enjoy it, why not just try a different one? It is, after all, a cozy mystery, and the drama of killing off main characters and infidelity doesn’t really fit the genre.

Dear Amanda - I absolutely LOVE all your series and my favourites are Avery Shaw, Death Gate, Speakeasy and Hannah Hickock. It must be so frustrating for an author to take your time on a blog-post and the only comment you get is from someone who obviously not even knows that you are writing BOOKS and are not talking about a mindless TV-series :) Anyway - I read all of your books various (many, many) times and can't wait for the next one 2/15/2020 08:02:54 am
I just want to tell you that I've become a huge fan of your work. I love Moonstone Bay, Charlie Rhodes, Spell Angels and Wicked Witches of the Midwest. Wicked Witches of the Midwest is my ABSOLUTE favorite and my favorite characters are Aunt Tillie and Bay. I've reread all the books several times and I honestly hope you don't end it anytime soon because the stories seem to be getting more captivating. KEEP WRITING!

My Favorites are Avery Shaw, Harper Harlow, Maddie Graves, and Rowan Gray. As you can tell, I prefer reporters, psychics, and those who can see ghosts compared to witches, warlocks, and vampires. Avery Shaw is my absolute favorite, so I’m sad to hear that the series will be slowing down, although grateful that it won’t be stopping. I tend to get both the audio and print versions of the books, and I do listen to or read them multiple times. I love your books, I hope you will continue to write books in the genre I prefer, which is selfish, of course, but what can I say? Thank you for many hours of reading/listening pleasure.

Until this year I had only read the Wicked Witches of the Midwest and love them. I started reading Moonstone Bay and the Grimlock series and love them as well. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Love these books! Would like for my mother to read but she needs large print. Anywhere I can buy large print? 7/30/2020 08:46:29 am
Try to get her the audio version, I'm visually impaired/legally blind - so I listen to the stories mostly. If I use my kindle on my desktop I can increase the print so I can see it. (I've a 48" HD Flat Screen T.V. I use as a monitor - a birthday gift from family.)

Avery could cross over, she just can't know about it! One way I can imagine is whatever guest star frustrated Avery can come up with a rational expplanation for every inexplicable thing she encounters.

I love most of your series. The only one I don't care about is Avery Shaw SORRY!!!!! But I LOVE all the others. I couldn't even pick a fav. I just need them on Audible. I listen to them ALL DAY, every day. 7 days a week. I would like to get the books that are missing - like Maddie Graves I only can get the first 3 and Graves Seas the rest or gone. I'm hoping they will come back so I get all the audible books for the series that I have. Please be safe an keep writing.

I discovered your books when my husband and I were planning an eighteen hour drive to visit family and wanted something to keep us entertained on the trip. We signed up for audible and searched for books that would get us the whole way there. One of the suggestions was a collection of the first three books in your Covenant College series. It sounded fun so we took the chance on it. Ten minutes in and we were hooked.

I really love your series! I started with Grimm, then branched out. When I got to a crossover I was so excited, I actually started reading a few of the other series "because" of hitting a crossover! I had to know more about the new characters.

I love Avery and I'm glad you will be still writing her here and there. She is the one I have reread and listen to audible over and over again. I do love you others as well. Charlie is my new favorite but nothing replaces Avery.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances. I give God all the glory for bringing Lord Zakuza into my life for helping me get my wife back that got me divorced for one year. I was the last person on earth to accept the fact that spells exist or work not until I was referred to Lord Zakuza online to who has helped so many people with his powerful spells. I had no other option than to give it a try because 3 months after the divorce, I was demoted at my place of work due to depression for I don't know what to do to get her back but thank God today for using Lord Zakuza to get my happiness and love life back within 48 hours. Just last week here, I was promoted back to my position and I'm here to share my own experience with this man called Lord Zakuza. I don't know what you are going through today but know that in all situation there's always a way out. Lord Zakuza also prepares spells like Lottery spell, job spell, spell to stop a divorce, spell cure for any diseases, protection spell, spell to become successful and wealthy E.T.C. Contact him now for any help via WHATSAPP MESSENGER OR TEXT on: +1 ( 740) 573-9483.
I love the sarcastic humor you employ in most of your books. I’m often laughing out loud and catch my husband off guard. I also enjoy the crossovers so thank you for creating those too! Leave a Reply. |
