Will there be more books after THE NATIVE STAR and THE HIDDEN GODDESS?

—Various readers, which is what classifies this as a “Frequently Asked Question.”


My dear readers:

I have always envisioned THE NATIVE STAR and THE HIDDEN GODDESS as a duology that kicks off a much longer series. In fact, I even have a name for said series (Veneficas Americana) but that hardly matters at the moment because you can’t have a series with just 2 books in it. So yeah, I need to write more books. I’ve envisioned the series as an extended family saga, progressing through American history in sets of duologies — so we have the first duology (THE NATIVE STAR and THE HIDDEN GODDESS) and then we skip forward 30 years (to 1910) for the next duology (tentatively titled THE WARLOCK’S CURSE and THE UNSTEADY EARTH), which will follow Emily & Dreadnought’s youngest son. Then we skip forward another unspecified amount of time for another duology, following one of Emily & Dreadnought’s grandchildren, and so on, through to the present day. Anyway, that’s the way I’ve imagined this working, but as we all know, the plans of mice and men gang aft alglay or however the hell that goes.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I intend to write at least 2 more books in the series, and hopefully many more.

Thanks for reading!

    Yayyyy! Both on the “more” part of the formula and on the hopping forward a generation. This was the best possible answer you could give me!

    Thanks for writing, MK.
    You’re wonderful, and it should be said as frequently as possible.

    This makes me SO happy :D I pre-ordered The Hidden Goddess so that it would ship to me the day it came out and already read it all. Devoured would be a better very, actually. But I was sad and wanted more of E&D :C So, so much more. It makes me extremely glad that there will be more books in the series! You are a brilliant writer :)
