Something very exciting happened last week! Kathryn from Blissfully Bookish Company designed t-shirts inspired by TQR! I am so honored that I got to collaborate with her, and I am simply amazed by how gorgeous her designs are. The collection is now up for sale and you can purchase your shirt here: https://blissfullybookish.com/collections/boyfriend-tees?page=4
I have a question, why did you decide to make it a two book series instead of three or more?
Hi Kristy! So, this decision ultimately was not mine. It came from my publisher. Harper purchased 3 books from me in 2015: THE QUEEN’S RISING plus two more books. I had originally planned for TQR to be a standalone, but decided to write a sequel to it, which fulfilled the second book of my contract. After that, my publisher asked me to present them with a whole new YA Fantasy for the final book of my contract. I was okay in doing this because I was very satisfied with how I left things in THE QUEEN’S RESISTANCE, and it felt like a good time for me to move on to the other project simmering in my imagination.
I loved The Queen’s Rising! Definitely one of my favorite book series. So there is no chance that you will be writing a third book in the future?
Hi there! I’m so happy to hear how much you loved them! The series is a duology, so just the two books. Although I do have more books coming, and they are set in new worlds with new characters! 🙂
I was wondering, is there any chance of a third book for the Queen’s Rising?
Hi Emma! Unfortunately no. The series is a duology, so just the two books. I’m happy you enjoyed them, though! 🙂
