I just discovered - and immediately read and loved! - "All's Well That Ends Well". Since "Queen's Librarian" was listed as #1, I am hoping there is a #2 (and #3?) in the works??!! :)

Carole Cummings I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, Sherry. I've been offline for a bit and didn't realize this was here.

Thanks for your interest, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed Lucas and Alex and their reluctant adventures. Lucas and Alex are kind of like pressure-valve releases for me. When I'm working on something that's angsty or emotionally taxing, I will occasionally go play in their sandbox for a while and write shorts or chapters for them in between chapters of other things.

So, to answer your question: yes, there is another adventure in the works, but its chapters are coming between chapters of other things. So I probably won't have anything done for them this year, but maybe next. In the meantime, there are a couple of other Lucas and Alex shorts on my website, if you're interested.

Thank you again, Sherry. I'm really glad you enjoyed the read and I very much appreciate you telling me so. :)

Hi Carol, I've completed the whole Wolfs Own series now. Thank you so much, I loved them. You left the ending quite open for more adventures. Will you be writing any more about Malick and Fen?

Carole Cummings Wow, Scarletine, I honestly had no idea this was here, and I'm so sorry I missed it when you posted it.

First, very belated thanks--I'm glad you liked …moreWow, Scarletine, I honestly had no idea this was here, and I'm so sorry I missed it when you posted it.

First, very belated thanks--I'm glad you liked the series, and it makes me happy that you enjoyed it enough to want more.

I would like very much to write a book 5 detailing Morin's journey--of which, of course, Fen and Malick would be a large part--and though I won't promise it's coming, I will say the story is getting more and more insistent and starting to play kettle drums on the backbrain. So a very optimistic maybe. There are some shorts in the Wolf 'verse on my website, if you'd like a bit more for now, and another will be posted... some time this month, I think.

I apologize again for missing this, Scarletine, and I appreciate your kind words very much.

“You've invented your own way of being, and perhaps it might be 'odd' to one who has no idea of the life you've led, but to one who does..." Brayden paused, shrugged. "To one who does, it's...it's...I haven't got a word. It's astounding”

Carole’s Quotes

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
― Martha Graham

“I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. ”

Hm, well, just so you don't expect it to be along the same lines as Aisling. Impromptu's a fun bit of fluff, and that's all, so I hope you can enjoy it for what it is.
