DEMONSOULED, time, and tomatoes
My recent experiment with DEMONSOULED in Kindle Unlimited did well enough that I got a bunch of emails asking when I’m going to do another DEMONSOULED book.
I would like to, but it’s hard to find the time.
I’m really blessed that I have more creative opportunities than I actually have time to do. Like, right now I’m working on the first DRAGONTIARNA book (which is also the next Ridmark book), the next Caina book, and the next Nadia book. There are people who would be delighted if I returned to DEMONSOULED, SILENT ORDER, or THE THIRD SOUL. And that doesn’t even count the other ideas for new series and settings and characters that I have that I don’t have time to do.
People sometimes ask where I get the ideas for my books. Wrong question! A better question is how I find the time to write books. I suppose the answer to that is with discipline and planning. Lately I’ve been using the Pomodoro Technique to manage my time better so I can try to write faster.
So, I suppose I’m trying to say two things with this:
1.) I would like to write another DEMONSOULED book, but not sure when.
2.) I would like to express my thanks to all of you for reading this books and wanting more of them!

I just finished a complete reread of the Demonsouled series today, the short stories newsletter subscribers get fit in perfectly when doing a reread. Brilliant books all the way through the series.
A full reread of either RIdmark’s or Caina’s adventures is quite a daunting prospect now with how many books and short novels there are now.
I enjoy all your series so I am happy to see any of them progressing, I’m just glad you can write as fast as you do!
I just finished the Demonsouled series. It is a great series and I fully enjoyed the read. I do have a question.
What was your thought process when you decided not to have Manzael make the ultimate sacrifice at the end and have your Epilogue centered around Molly taking over as Liege lord?
As I read the last book, I was getting the feeling that would have been the ending.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. As for the ending, I didn’t feel like going full GAME OF THRONES and killing off a bunch of protagonists.
